Mobile phone ownership and use is prolific in many countries like Turkey, with the numbers of people owning and using mobile phones rising rapidly in recent years. Nomophobia is the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. The term, an abbreviation for "nomobile-phone phobia", was coined during a study by the UK Post Office who commissioned YouGov, a UK-based research organisation to look at anxieties suffered by mobile phone users. The study found that nearly 53 percent of mobile phone users in Britain tend to be anxious when they "lose their mobile phone, run out of battery or credit, or have no network coverage."Empathy is a potential psychological motivator for helping others in distress. Empathy can be defined as the ability to feel or imagine another person's emotional experience. The ability to empathize is an important part of social and emotional development, affecting an individual's behavior toward others and the quality of social relationships. The concept of empathic tendency is ability demonstrate the potential emotional empathy of the individual. The Empathic Tendency Scale developed by Dökmen (1988) was used in the determination of empathic tendencies level of the participants. The aim of this study, examine the relationship between teachers' empathic tendency and nomophobia. In the study, data will collect from 389 prospective teachers. Research applications and data analysis is underway.
The aim of this study is investigate teachers' academic optimism levels by following variables; teachers' education levels, branches, location of their schools, their participation in educational activities. Working group of the study includes total of 329 teachers from 14 schools selected by random sampling. School Academic Optimism Scale to collect data were used in this study. School Academic Optimism Scale has been developed by Çoban and Demirtas (2011). School Academic Optimism Scale consists of three sub-dimensions, self-efficacy, confidence and the academic emphasis and 19 questions. The reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.82. According to the survey, the average score in the academic teachers emphasize academic optimism and confidence levels differed according to the study, the mean score of self-sufficiency size does not differ. The mean score of self-efficacy and academic emphasis in optimism compared to the size of the academic teacher of the branches differ variable and there is no differentiation in the security dimension. Based on the location of the school they work the teachers do not differ in the size of the average score of academic optimism. Certified teachers perform their social activities and participated in their courses according to the state's academic self-efficacy, optimism, confidence and academic scores in the average size of emphasis differ in a meaningful way. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, çeşitli değişkenlere göre (Öğretmenlerin eğitim düzeyi, branşları, okulun yerleşim yeri) öğretmenlerin akademik iyimserlik düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu; 2016 yılında Konya ilinde çalışan ve tesadüfî küme örnekleme yoluyla 14 okuldan seçilen toplam 329 öğretmen oluşturmuştur. Örneklemi oluşturan öğretmenlerin, 162’si erkek, 167’si ise kadındır. Veri toplama aracı olarak; Hoy (2006) tarafından geliştirilen ve Çoban ve Demirtaş (2011) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan “Okul Akademik İyimserlik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Ölçek, ortak öz yeterlilik, güven ve akademik vurgu olmak üzere üç alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Ölçek 5’li Likert tarzında hazırlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada ölçek için hesaplanan güvenirlik katsayısı 0.872’dir. Öğretmenlerin akademik iyimserlik düzeyleri; öğretmenlerin öğrenim düzeyleri, branşları, okullarda görev yapan öğretmen sayısı ve çalıştıkları okulların bulunduğu yere göre incelenmiştir. Akademik iyimserliğin ortak öz yeterlik ve güven alt boyutlarının puan ortalamasında öğretmenlerin branşlarına göre anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmemiştir. Öğretmenlerin branşlarına akademik iyimserliğin toplam puan ortalaması ve akademik vurgu alt boyutu puan ortalaması arasında sınıf öğretmenlerinin lehine anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmiştir. Öğretmenlerin öğrenim durumu değişkenlerine göre akademik iyimserliğin ortak öz yeterlik alt boyutu puan ortalaması anlamlı bir farklılık göstermezken, akademik iyimserliğin toplam puan ortalaması ve güven, akademik vurgu alt boyutlarının puan ortalamasında anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmiştir. Okulun bulunduğu yerleşim türüne göre ve okullarda görev yapan öğretmen sayısı değişkenlerine göre, toplam akademik iyimserlik puan ortalaması ve tüm alt boyutlarının (ortak öz yeterlik, güven, akademik vurgu) puan ortalaması anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir.
Professional ethics includes the principles set forth by professional associations and accepted as correct by discussions over time, and which has become the sine qua non of a profession today. Professional ethics are established to increase the quality of professional practices and ensure correct and honest conduct. Not having professional ethical principles for the special education field negatively affects the quality of services. The purpose of this study was to develop a scale of principles in professional ethics for specialists and educators working in special education and to conduct its validity and reliability studies. For construct validity studies following Kaiser-Meyer Olkin test, factor analysis was performed. The analysis showed that ethical principles were gathered in two dimensions as 'importance and compliance of colleagues' and had a two-way Likert type. The findings showed that the scale is a valid and reliable tool that can be used in special education.
