Abstract

Sinop, the pearl of the Black Sea, is located in the northernmost part of Turkey. Sinop University was established in 2007. The university currently has nine faculties, one institute, three colleges, seven vocational schools and thirteen research centers. In theory, internationalization of higher education is the process of integrating an international, intercultural or global dimension into the purpose, functions or delivery of post-secondary education. The University has been an active user and beneficiary of the Erasmus program since its establishment. In this study, Erasmus studies of Sinop University in the internationalization process are examined. The opinions of eleven coordinators of the European universities with which the university has agreements have been taken on the subject. Sinop University is an effective university in terms of its location and the opportunities it offers to its students and employees. Erasmus mobility has an important place in the internationalization of a university. However, in the light of expert opinions, the number of courses offered in foreign languages, especially in English, the number of foreign lecturers and the level of foreign language, especially English, of students and staff benefiting from Erasmus have an important place in the internationalization of Sinop University. The document analysis revealed that very few European students and university staff come to Sinop University as visitors. The university can take action with non-governmental organizations abroad and include mobility from Europe to Sinop in the mobility from Sinop to Europe. Foreign language qualified students and staff will be able to represent the university more competently. Foreign language courses at the university can be an attractive element for European students. Future studies may focus on scientific, technological and cultural cooperation between the university and foreign universities.

Abstract

 The purpose of the study is to examine preschool teachers' beliefs about mathematical development. Quantitative research technique was used in the research. The study group of the research consists of 200 preschool teachers working in kindergartens affiliated with the Ministry of National Education, private kindergartens, primary school kindergartens in Aksaray in the 2022-2023 academic year. In the study, "Demographic Information Form" and "Mathematical Development Belief Scale" were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, normality test, independent-T test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed using SPSS 22 software. Looking at the results of the research, it was seen that there was no significant difference in teachers' beliefs about mathematics according to gender. However, it was determined that there was a significant difference in teachers' beliefs about mathematics depending on whether they participated in an in-service training on preschool mathematics and whether they participated in a project on preschool mathematics education. It has also been determined that there is a significant difference in teachers' perceptions of mathematical development beliefs according to their educational background, years of service and the type of institution they work in.

Key Words: Preschool Math; Teacher; Belief.

Abstract

This research examines the problems experienced by classroom teachers about the education of foreign national students in our country as well as the problems experienced by teachers. Phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. The 4 classroom teachers working in different schools in the 2022-2023 academic year in Karapınar District of Konya province participated in the research. The research results indicated that the main issue experienced with foreign students is the language problem. Also, the classroom teachers participated in the research noted that the necessary arrangements for foreign students in the education curriculum are not prepared, the majority of students have concern about school attendance as well as cultural awareness, and teachers are not trained for the education of foreign students. These problems cause classroom teachers to face problems in determining target acquisition and teaching method techniques for these students.

Key Words: Education, Classroom Teachers, Foreign Students, Education Problems.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively examine the effect of technology-supported affine geometry teaching conducted with prospective mathematics teacher candidates on their attitudes towards the analytical geometry course, their van Hiele geometric thinking levels, and their academic achievements. For this purpose, an experimental study, one of the quantitative research methods, was conducted. The study group consists of 74 prospective mathematics teachers studying at the second-year level in two separate sections of the elementary mathematics teaching department at a state university in İzmir during the 2022-2023 academic year. The two separate sections forming the study group were randomly divided into two groups as the experimental and control groups. The control group was taught affine geometry using the traditional method, while the experimental group received technology-supported affine geometry instruction once a week, for 3 class hours, over a period of 5 weeks. The data of the study were collected by applying the attitude scale and the van Hiele geometry test as pre-test and post-test, and the academic achievement test only as a post-test. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 25 program. As a result of the study, it was found that the technology-supported teaching of affine geometry did not affect their attitudes of mathematics teacher candidates; however, it positively affected their geometric thinking levels and academic achievements.

Key Words: Affine Geometry, Attitude, Geometric Thinking Levels, Academic Achievement.

Abstract

This descriptive correlational study looks at the relationship among spatial visualization skills and spatial habits of mind, the influence of gender on them, and the relationships between each dimensions of spatial habits of mind and others. Spatial visualization is the ability to flexibly move and rotate a geometric object in the mind, and visualize its open and closed states. Spatial habits of the mind are the ability to define a geometric object, count its features and think systematically about the object. In Turkey, the study conducted in the 2023-2024 school years with 79 eight graders (47 female and 32 male students). Data were collected via “Spatial Visualization Skills Test” and “Spatial Habit of Mind Inventory”. There were determinations made regarding the independent sample t-test, correlation analyses, mean and standard deviation values, minimum and maximum scores, and so forth. Significant correlations were found between spatial visualization skills and the use of spatial tools, pattern recognition and spatial description, spatial description and visualization, and visualization and spatial concept use. Due to gender differences, men were more likely have favourable spatial habits of mind, but not for spatial visualization. There are many studies regarding spatial visualization skills but there is restricted research about spatial habits of mind. Since most of the studies on spatial thinking are conducted with university students, it is thought that this study will bring innovation to the literature in terms of its sample.

Key Words: Eight Grade Students; Spatial Habits of Mind; Spatial Visualization.
