It is realized at the rate that students can benefit from the educational environment in the most appropriate way, reach everything they need, express themselves comfortably, think creatively and feel curious about the environment. The fact that educational environments are flexible and reliable areas at a level that will provide an environment for multi-faceted thinking and provide the opportunity to move comfortably ensures that education is used at the desired rate. The fact that educational institutions are built in accordance with all the personal and academic developmental characteristics of students, and planning in accordance with their interests, wishes and needs increases the utilization rate of education. Within this framework, when creating educational environments and spaces, scientific fields such as engineering, architecture, education, child development, psychology should work in cooperation. The first of the elements that should be taken into account when building the structures of all educational institutions that are created in integrity is that plans, projects and designs have been made for the learning and curiosity motives of students. It is extremely important that the plans, projects and designs in question are single-floor or low-floor structures that allow students to move easily, completely or as much as possible prevent the occurrence of dangerous situations. In this context, students' personal development and academic characteristics should also be taken into account. Considering the eager, active and curious structures of students who are willing to learn by doing and living in learning processes based on a holistic educational perspective, the characteristics of educational institutions should include plans, projects and designs aimed at meeting these needs. It should also be remembered that the structures that are not aimed at the interests, wishes and abilities of students and are built by ignoring these features do not fully carry the Decit of being an educational institution. Since such structures built do not really carry the quality of an educational institution, they also constitute a remarkable point in terms of the educational process in terms of having qualities that will significantly disrupt the academic and personal development of students.

COUNSELING MODEL BASED ON BACKWARD CHAINING OF STUDENT BEHAVIOR AT SMK 10 MUHAMMADIYAH KISARAN

Student development includes conduct as a key component. Student behavior becomes crucial in deciding how successful students will be in different spheres of life. The variety of student behavior can hinder the learning process and personal development of students. Through the development of an expert system-based counseling model based on backward chaining, this study seeks to discover trends in student behavior. The research process starts with problem analysis, goal setting, literature study, data collection, system design and implementation, and results analysis. It then moves on to counseling model development and implementation in the school setting. To determine the reasons for the unruly behavior of the kids, data were analyzed using a backward chaining methodology. UML Usecase diagrams are used in system design to define the roles of actors and users. The established counseling model, which consists of 14 behaviors, 67 phenomena/symptoms, and 14 rules, focuses on goals and methods to modify student behavior. Three students underwent system testing based on previously achieved goals from therapy. The findings revealed "Smoking," "Emotional Problems," and "Fighting" among the student behaviors. When the Backward Chaining-based counseling model is used, it is simpler for homeroom teachers to gather information about students' conduct from them and to offer remedies based on the transfer of professional knowledge without having to wait for the counselor guidance procedure

‘I have discovered how to have faith in my students’: Negotiating a citizenship education curriculum with vocational education students

Although the curriculum ideally serves the interests of its recipients, student perspectives have been marginalised in curriculum negotiation. Our objective is to better meet the needs and wishes of vocational education students by including them in planning, acting/observing and reflecting on the citizenship education curriculum. In this participatory action research project students were made responsible for designing, developing and delivering a lesson for their peers. Data collection consisted of interviews, focus group discussions and observations during three action rounds involving five classes. Even though many teachers were initially sceptical about their students’ abilities, it turned out that students enjoyed engaging in curriculum negotiation. Students were the main drivers of the curriculum. Relevant factors for implementation were: teachers’ beliefs about student capabilities and attitudes, changing roles and responsibilities, and safe and constructive classroom dynamics. Students were exposed to a wide variety of skills and challenges. Future research should focus on studying the same participants during multiple implementation rounds. Also, opportunities for curriculum negotiation activities within other topics should be explored. Lastly, a more rigid analysis of the learning outcomes as well as the impact on personal development of students and teachers would be recommended.
