The Views of Social Studies Teachers on the Subtest of the Republic of Turkey History of Revolution and Ataturk's Principles Course in the Central Exam

Geçmişten günümüze Türkiye’de ortaöğretim kurumlarına seçme ve yerleştirmede farklı merkezi ortak sınavlar kullanılmıştır. Bu farklılıklar dikkate alındığında sınavların yapısının ve üstlendiği özelliklerin zaman içinde değiştiği görülmektedir. Bunun yanında öğrenci sayısının fazla olması ve okullar arasındaki nitelik farkı merkezi sınavların ortaya çıkmasında etkili olmuştur. Bu bağlamda ortaöğretime geçişte 1997 yılında uygulamaya konulan ilk ortak sınav Liselere Geçiş Sınavı (LGS)’dır. İlerleyen zamanlarda bu sınav Ortaöğretim Kurumları Seçme ve Yerleştirme Sınavı (OKS) olarak ifade edilmiştir. Bu merkezi ortak sınav yürürlükten kaldırıldıktan sonra 2008 yılında Seviye Belirleme Sınavı (SBS) uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. 2014’e gelindiğinde ise SBS’nin yerine Temel Eğitimden Ortaöğretime Geçiş Sınavı (TEOG) ortaöğretime geçişlerde kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu sistemle sadece dört yıl liselere yerleştirme yapılmıştır ve 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim yılında TEOG yerine Liselere Geçiş Sınavı (LGS) uygulamaya konulmuştur. Bu bilgilerden hareketle mevcut araştırmanın amacı temel eğitimden ortaöğretime geçiş sınavında yer alan T.C. İnkılap Tarihi ve Atatürkçülük Dersi alt testi hakkında sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerinin görüşlerini ele almaktır. Temel nitel araştırmanın kullanıldığı bu çalışmada 21 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Görüşmeler betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırmadaki bulgulara göre öğretmenler ortak sınavdaki soruların bilgi ve yorum ağırlıklı olduğu görüşündedir. Bunların yanında ortak sınav öğrencilerin derse ilgisini artırmaktadır. Sınavda müfredata ve kazanımlara ilişkin uygun sorular bulunmaktadır. Liselere geçişte öğrencilerin yeteneklerinin dikkate alınmasının önemli olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Bunlara karşın ders saatinin azlığı ve katsayıdaki eşitsizlik ulaşılan diğer önemli sonuçlardır. Araştırmanın bu sonuçlarından hareketle dersin haftalık saati artırılabilir ve katsayısında düzenleme yapılabilir.

AI and Plagiarism: Opinion from Teachers, Administrators and Policymakers

The emergence of AI applications like ChatGPT is becoming a big concern in recent times. In the field of education, AI promises to bring important breakthroughs to improve teaching and learning efficiency, but it also raises great concerns. Teachers fear that learners may turn to ChatGPT or other AI applications to generate ideas, correct mistakes, or even write complete essays.

The research data also reveal that surveyed teachers and administrators/ policymakers have varied or even opposing perceptions of the use of AI applications in academic writing. These research findings should be considered for developing or adjusting legal documents in the field of education to keep these documents updated with the actual situation.

La Evaluación Docente: Un Análisis de su Impacto en la Identidad Narrativa y la Política Educativa en Colombia

This document provides an in-depth examination of teacher assessment within the Colombian context, exploring its influence on teachers' narrative identity and its relationship with educational policy. The text begins by highlighting the significance of teacher assessment in contemporary education and how this practice has become a crucial element in decision-making regarding educators' performance. The analysis focuses on the interplay between teacher assessment, teachers' narrative identity, and educational policies in Colombia. It argues that teacher assessment has largely adopted an economic perspective, leading to the standardization of teaching performance and a narrow view of teachers as mere task executors, at the expense of their role as intellectuals and cultural workers. The text underscores the importance of teacher self-assessment as a means to empower teachers to examine their own performance without fear of punitive measures, fostering a dialogue and a democratic relationship with educational policy. It asserts that teacher assessment should not solely be seen as a deficit-based control tool but rather as a means to improve and transform pedagogical practices, tailored to the specific needs and contexts of the diverse Colombian educational landscape. Ultimately, it suggests that the construction of a collective narrative identity among the teaching faculty and the promotion of democratic dialogue among educational stakeholders are pivotal steps to influence educational policy and ensure that teacher assessment reflects the reality of the teaching and learning processes in Colombia.

Working within and against school structures: Exploring elementary teachers' agency for science and engineering instruction

Many elementary classrooms lack science and engineering instruction. This problem is compounded by teachers who feel they lack the autonomy, trust, and agency to include these experiences in their elementary curricula. However, this view of elementary teachers perpetuates prevalent pessimism focusing on what teachers lack and cannot accomplish. This study pushes back against these dominant narratives to explore teachers' agency as they work to integrate science and engineering into elementary curricula and provide transformative learning experiences. Using a STEM journey mapping protocol combined with narrative inquiry, this article explores elementary teachers' narratives, voices, lived experiences, and agency. Study results provide examples of teachers creatively pushing boundaries while working within school structures and yield a more nuanced conceptualization of teachers' agency.
