Bu çalışmada, Antalya merkez ilçeler Muratpaşa, Döşemealtı, Konyaaltı ve Kepez’de görev yapmakta olan ilk ve ortaokul öğretmenlerinin, narsisizm eğilimleri ile örgütsel özdeşleşme düzeyleri arasında ilişki olup olmadığının tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli benimsenmiştir. Araştırmaya 153 kadın, 204 erkek olmak üzere toplam 357 öğretmen katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Örgütsel Özdeşleşme Ölçeği (ÖÖÖ)ve Narsisistik Kişilik Envanterinden (NKE) ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmenlerin narsistik kişilik eğilimleri ile örgütsel özdeşleşme değerleri arasında düşük düzeyde olmakla birlikte pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.

In Turkey, Science and Arts Centers (BİLSEM) were opened and put into practice in 1995 in order to support gifted and talented students who are different from their peers in academic, social, and artistic fields in addition to their formal education. However, as in every educational institution, many problems have emerged in BİLSEMs, which teachers and students try to overcome. In this research, we aim to address the problems that teachers and students in BİLSEMs face or experience. To this end, the study employed a systematic compilation method, a qualitative research method, and theses, articles, papers, and books that were published between 1995 and 2022 and could be accessed were included in the study. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the research data were compiled by entering the keywords “BİLSEM”, “Gifted”, and “Talented” in the databases and analyzed with content analysis. As a result of the reviews, 46 articles, 15 theses, 1 paper, and 1 book focusing on teacher and student problems were included in the study. In light of the results obtained in the study, it was concluded that the problems experienced by teachers include shortages in materials, physical conditions and infrastructure, insufficient professional development opportunities, the programs not being functional and adequate, and student absenteeism and that the problems experienced by students include the intensity of the program and participating in too many activities, insufficient infrastructure and a lack of materials, being excluded from their circle of friends, and high expectations.

In this study, the aim was to develop a Likert-type scale to measure students’ attitudes toward the Information Technologies and Software course taught in secondary school. The developments in the field of science and technology and the changing needs of society necessitate an update to the Information Technologies and Software course curriculum and its implementation, starting from the 2021–2022 academic year. With this update, students are provided with the means to take the first step toward programming with block-based learning activities (Blockly, Scratch, Arduino, etc.). For this reason, it is thought that previously developed scales may be insufficient to measure students’ attitudes toward the updated Information Technologies and Software course. The study was designed by survey method. A total of 600 students for an exploratory factor analysis and 300 different students for a confirmatory factor analysis were included in the study. As a result of conducting the exploratory factor analysis, a scale with 4 factors and 27 items was obtained. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to confirm the obtained structure. The scale that was developed, as a result of validity and reliability studies, is thought to be a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to measure attitudes toward the Information Technologies and Software course.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk eğitim sistemi, politikaları ve uygulamalarına ilişkin emekli eğitim yöneticilerinin görüşlerini ve önerilerini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olan bir öznel yaşantı (fenomenoloji) deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı kurumların emekli yöneticileri arasından kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş 20 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılara yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formunda belirtilen açık uçlu soruların sorulduğu görüşme tekniği uygulanmış ve ses kaydı alınmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, bulgular betimsel ve tematik analiz yöntemiyle çözümlenmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Bu çalışma ile sistemsel hiçbir beklentisi ve kaygısı olmayan emekli eğitim yöneticilerinin görüşleri değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan bu çalışma yöntem ve çalışma grubu olarak bir ilk olması yönüyle önemlidir. Çalışmadan elde edilecek çıkarımların, Türkiye’nin ulusal değerlerine dayanarak çağdaş ve evrensel eğitim politikalarının geliştirilmesine ve uygulanmasına katkı sağlanması beklenmektedir.

The purpose of this study was to explore the opinions of administrators about the effect of administrator replacement circulation in non-formal education institutions providing adult education on organizational culture. In this qualitative study, ten randomly selected administrators were interviewed using the convenience sampling method. The data were analyzed via the content analysis technique. As a result of the research, most managers think that the institutions providing adult education should be subjected to a different management appointment system than other institutions. While some managers find the organizational change circulation necessary and important for organizational culture, and the preservation and development of the existing culture, some managers stated that changes negatively affect the organizational culture structure. Although there are some differences in opinions among the managers, all managers agree on the importance and provision of the organizational culture in terms of a healthy system functioning in such institutions.
