The language that people use while expressing their feelings, thoughts, and wishes is one of the basic elements for speech. Speaking skill has a complex structure that includes physical, physiological, and psychological elements. In addition, for a good speech, the speaker must have some skills. In this regard, the aim of the research is to examine the pre-service teachers' proficiency in speaking anxiety in terms of some variables. In this direction, the aim of the study was tried to be realized by examining the relevant literature and the answers given by the pre-service teachers to the determined scales. In this study, in which the speaking anxiety of teacher candidates was examined in terms of some variables, in the quantitative dimension of the research, the quantitative research method was used to obtain the data. The target population of the study consists of senior students studying at İnönü University Faculty of Education in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. As a result, based on the findings, it can be said that the teacher candidates in the study did not experience any anxiety that would affect their teaching status about speaking. Various suggestions were presented in light of the results of the study.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin mobil okuryazarlıklarını ölçmeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Bu amaçla araştırma, nicel araştırma yöntemi desenlerinden tarama desenine göre tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında İnönü Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören lisans öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Örneklemin belirlenmesinde basit seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) aşamasında 536, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) için ise AFA’da alınan örneklemden farklı olarak 627 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 1163 öğrenci örnekleme dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada öncelikle araştırmanın amacına uygun olarak madde havuzu oluşturulmuş ve kapsam geçerliği için uzman görüşü alınmıştır. Uzman görüşlerine göre düzenlenen ölçek beşli Likert tipinde hazırlanarak uygulama yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğini belirlemek için öncelikle AFA ve ardından DFA yapılmıştır. Yapılan AFA sonucunda ölçek 20 maddeden ve iki alt boyuttan oluşmuştur. DFA ile ölçeğin model uyum indeks değerlerini karşıladığı ve açımlayıcı faktör analizini doğruladığı görülmüştür. Ölçeğin alt boyutları “İleri düzey beceriler” ve “Temel beceriler” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Bu iki alt boyut toplam varyansın %51,18’ini açıklamaktadır. Ölçeğin Croanbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayılarının “ileri düzey beceriler” alt boyutunda .90, “temel beceriler” alt boyutunda .87 ve ölçek genelinde ise .92 olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak lisans öğrencilerinin mobil okuryazarlıklarını belirlemeye yönelik alan yazına katkı sağlayacak geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek elde edilmiştir.
Purpose: Not only in daily conversations, official correspondence, and educational settings but also on social media platforms, the correct usage of language by prospective teachers has become a necessity of the age. Twitter, which is used by many people to express their feelings, opinions, etc., is used actively by prospective teachers as well. The present study aimed to investigate the grammatical errors in prospective classroom teachers’ tweets. Method: The study employed the case study method, one of the qualitative research methods. The data were analyzed through the document analysis method. A total of three hundred tweets posted by 30 prospective teachers were analyzed. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data. The grammatical errors to look for in the tweets were determined based on the learning outcomes related to grammar rules specified in the Turkish Language Curriculum designed for primary schools (2019). Findings: Considering the overall results, the vast majority of tweets contained grammatical errors. It was also determined that the grammatical errors were similar in terms of their types. Punctuation errors, inverted sentences, spelling errors, and capitalization errors were some common grammatical errors. On the other hand, misspelled numbers, incorrect abbreviations, and the use of 'reinforced words' (words with a prefix to add emphasis) were rare grammatical errors. When the results were analyzed according to genders, it was found that males' tweets contained more grammatical errors than those of females. In both genders, punctuation errors, inverted sentences, misspellings, and incorrect capitalization were common grammatical errors. On the other hand, misspelled numbers, incorrect abbreviations, and the use of 'reinforced words' (words with a prefix to add emphasis) were rare grammatical errors. In conclusion, it can be said that a majority of tweets posted by prospective teachers contained grammatical errors and these grammatical errors were similar in terms of their types. Implications for Research and Practice: Also, similar studies can be carried out on the use of written language on other social media platforms such as YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, which also have millions of users.
