Aim of this study was to examine mediating role of professional burnout in the relationship between life satisfaction, teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction of teachers working in inclusive classrooms. A structural equation modelling method was used in the study. Life satisfaction scale, teacher self-efficacy scale, job satisfaction scale and teacher professional burnout scale were used to collect data under scope of the study. Google Forms software was used to collect research data. The scales created on Google Forms were conveyed to teachers via WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and e-mail. Normality test was applied to obtained data and it was observed that the data was normally distributed. According to the results of the research, there was a positive relationship between teachers’ levels of life satisfaction and professional self-efficacy, a positive relationship between their levels of life satisfaction and job satisfaction; a negative relationship between their levels of self-efficacy and professional burnout; a negative relationship between their levels of life satisfaction and professional burnout, and a negative relationship between their levels of professional burnout and job satisfaction. Results do not present any relationship between teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction. It was observed that teachers’ professional burnout played a mediating role not only in the relationship between self-efficacy and job satisfaction but also in the relationship between life satisfaction and job satisfaction. In future studies, the mediating role of other variables can be analysed.

The way the state can provide the necessary services to its people is through regularly paid taxes. In order for taxes to be paid regularly, taxpayers should perceive the tax positively. The aim of this study is to evaluate the tax awareness of 6th and 7th grade secondary school students. The survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. A questionnaire was applied within the scope of the research. In the study, it was concluded that students' tax awareness was at a low level. One of the results of the research is that as the age and class levels of the students increase, their tax awareness also increases. As a result of the study, suggestions were given to increase the tax awareness of the students. In this context, tax- related gains that are limited to the 6th grade can also be included in the 7th and 8th grade levels. Since these are the places where students hear the concept of tax most frequently, emphasis can be given to tax education through family and school in order to increase their tax awareness.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between physical activity level and social skill level of individuals diagnosed with special learning disabilities. The research is descriptive by nature, one of the quantitative research models (screening). A total of 210 (100 female, 110 male) individuals diagnosed with Special Learning Disability [SLD] participated in the study. The 'International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Short)' was used to determine the physical activity level of individuals, and the 'Social Skills Scale for Children' was used to determine the social skill level. The data of the research were analyzed with the SPSS 25 package program. As a result of the normality analysis, it was determined that the data were normally distributed. For this reason, statistical analyzes were made with the Independent Sample t-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance, which are parametric tests. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the groups. The significance value was determined as p<.05. No significant difference was found between the social skills of individuals according to gender, and there was no significant difference between the physical activity levels of individuals according to gender (p>.05). A positive and significant relationship was found between individuals' physical activity level and social skill level (r=.367, p<.001). According to the results of the study, as the level of physical activity increments individuals with SLD, the level of social skills also increases. These individuals should be encouraged to participate in physical activities such as exercise, games and sports in order to increase their social skill levels.

This research aims to examine Turkish lessons implemented in science and art centers. The research is in the case study type, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group of this research consists of 4 Turkish teachers and 59 students working at the science and art center in the Yozgat province. In this research, interview and observation methods, which are qualitative data collection methods, were used. Interviews were held with Turkish teachers. Turkish lessons in science and art centers were monitored with an observation form. Classes are held five days a week in science and art centers. The general aim of Turkish lessons in science and art centers is to implement activities that will enable students to realize and develop the skills they have. The materials used in Turkish lessons in science and art centers are as follows: activity books, Turkish supplementary course materials, interactive board, computer, and books. Teachers must be creative. Teachers must be well-equipped and researchers. Turkish support book should be developed. Twenty percent of the students in the class can participate in the science and art center exams. Eighth grade students at the science and arts center may be absent due to central exams. It is necessary to reduce this absenteeism. It is recommended that Turkish teachers working in science and art centers be selected among teachers with master's and doctoral degrees. All students who want to take the science and art center application exams should be able to participate.

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the environmental attitude levels of primary school students. The research adopts a quantitative research design and is of a survey study nature. The study was conducted during the 2022-2023 academic year with the participation of 948 students from primary schools in Kırşehir. The likert-type scale development model was used in the study. Considering that the items in the measurement tool are related to each other, the promax oblique rotation technique was used in the explanatory factor analysis [EFA]. As a result of the rotation technique applied three times, a 17 item scale consisting of 3 sub-factors was obtained. The result of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] Test of the scale was calculated as .837. The Bartlett Test result was found to be significant (p<.00). As a result of the validity and reliability analyses of the developed data collection tool, it was observed that the Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient calculated in the explanatory factor analysis increased from .76 to .91 in the confirmatory factor analysis. As a result of the study, a valid and reliable measurement tool was developed to determine the environmental attitude levels of primary school students. The developed scale can be revised in line with the curriculum and learning outcomes for different grade levels.

This study examines the applicability of Discrete Option Multiple Choice [DOMC] items in secondary school mathematics. The test included 25 questions, with 10 being traditional multiple-choice and 15 being DOMC items. Data were collected from 725 secondary school students during the second term of the 2020-2021 academic year. Among these students, 491 (68%) were in 7th grade and 234 (32%) were in 8th grade; 391 (54%) were female, and 334 (46%) were male. The findings revealed significant differences between the two item types, especially in high scores, using Classical Test Theory [CTT]. However, Item Response Theory [IRT] analysis showed that the question type did not affect estimations of students' ability levels, thus reducing errors in extreme values. This suggests that DOMC items do not significantly impact students' total scores when parameter estimations are performed using IRT instead of CTT. Additionally, some Traditional Multiple Choice [TMC] items were adapted into the DOMC format to test the applicability of various question types in this format.

The aim of this study is to determine school Occupational Health and Safety [OHS] performance indicators by revealing the opinions of school administrators about the effectiveness of OHS implementation. In line with this purpose, a semi-structured interview form was created. This method was applied randomly to ten school administrators working in public and private, primary, secondary, and high schools with 50 or more employees affiliated to the Ministry of National Education [MoNE] with criterion sampling, one of the purposeful sampling method types. Because of the analyses, six main categories were reached: OHS Education Effectiveness, OHS Awareness, OHS Material Effectiveness, OHS Managerial Effectiveness, Teacher and Student OHS Attitudes and Behaviors, and OHS Effectiveness in Pandemic. The main category of OHS Material Effectiveness is divided into three subcategorie: “Visual Material intelligibility”, “Visual Material Effectiveness”, “OHS Material Use Adequacy”. OHS Managerial Effectiveness: It was divided into two subcategorie: “Managerial Duty and Responsibility Awareness” and “Managerial Problems Encountered and Solutions”. It is expected that the findings will greatly contribute to the creation of indicator of school OHS performance. At the end of the research, researchers may be advised to The Occupational Health and Safety Management System [OHSAS] can be developed only for schools and studies on school safety coaching can be conducted.
