<span>Studying history in accordance with gaining the legitimacy of the official ideology and reaching the historical bases that will open the way for the national identity for all teaching stages starting from primary education to tertiary education has made the national history subjects and naturally the topics of the Principles of Atatürk and History of the Turkish Revolution course both important and valuable. Although the teaching of Principles of Atatürk and History of the Turkish Revolution course has a role in the realization of national goals in higher education, the universal messages the program contains clearly demonstrate that the course has also a universal role beside the national identity of it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the opinions of foreign students studying in Turkey towards Principles of Atatürk and History of the Turkish Revolution course. To this end, this research is a case study in the qualitative research design. 12 foreign students studying at Istanbul Sebahattin Zaim University participated the study.

Abstract ABSTRACT The Dublin Art(s) Club, which operated in the Irish capital from 1886 to 1898, offers an intriguing case study for modes of artistic networks and cultural exchange between Ireland and Britain in the closing decades of the nineteenth century. Despite this, the history of the Club has been little explored in historiography to date, often confused with other ventures by artists in the city. Examining the rise and fall of the Dublin Art(s) Club, along with its members and activities, this article retrieves its history and posits that it offers an example of an aspect of art in Ireland which was conspicuous for its cosmopolitan outlook and active engagement with the wider British art world, which then spanned across both islands. The history of the Dublin Art(s) Club poses a challenge to the extant scholarship of this period in Irish art history, which to date has been largely understood to be focused on themes of national identity, the cultural revival, and artists who left Ireland to train in Belgium and France. This article posits that by re-engaging with the activities of art clubs and societies, a more complex reading of artistic life in Victorian Dublin can emerge.

Pros And Cons

Women have been a part of the economic system since the Industrial Revolution. Education is one of the sectors employing generally women. Teachers are often married with teachers and they sometimes work in the same school organization. This condition has some pros and cons. Within this background, the present study intends to assess the opinions of school administrators on teachers who are married and work in the same school. In this study, using phenomenology (qualification) from qualitative research methods, data from 33 school administrators working in Amasya and identified by maximum diversity sampling method, were collected by using a semi-structured interview form assembled by the researchers and composed of two parts. So as to interpret the data, content analysis procedure was utilized and in the process of analysis of the collected data, interview records were deciphered and analyzed. Research findings show that there are some pros and cons of working in the same school organization. The positive sides of this condition are eligible for the teachers themselves, but negative sides outweight its benefits. It is advised that couples should work in different schools except the obligations. When the findings are generally considered, there may be some troubles when the teacher couples work together in the same environment.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetSanayi devrimi ile kadınlar, iş hayatında yer alarak ekonominin birer parçası olmuşlardır. Kadınların çalışma hayatında ciddi oranda görev yaptığı sektörlerden birisi de eğitimdir. Eğitimcilerin büyük bir kısmı yine kendileri gibi eğitimcilerle evlidirler. Öğretmen eşler zaman zaman aynı kurumda görev yapmaktadırlar ve bu durumun olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri bulunmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, bu araştırmanın amacı, yönetici görüşlerine göre eşlerin aynı okulda görev yapmalarının yönetsel işleyiş açısından değerlendirilmesidir. Olgubilim deseni ile tasarlanan bu araştırmada kullanılan veriler, Amasya ilinde görev yapmakta olan, maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 33 okul yöneticisinden, araştırmacıların ilgili literatürü göz önünde bulundurarak hazırladıkları yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Görüşme formu kişisel bilgiler ve görüşme sorularını içeren iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, eşlerin öğretmen ya da yönetici görevinde aynı eğitim kurumunda görev yapmalarının çeşitli açılardan avantaj ve dezavantajları bulunmaktadır. Olumlu yönlerinin daha çok eşlere yönelik olmakla birlikte, örgütsel açıdan bazı olumsuzluklara, yanlış anlaşılmalara neden olabilecek bir durum olarak değerlendirilebilir. Zorunlu hâller dışında, eşlerin aynı okulda görev yapmaması, hatta bir eşin yönetici diğer eşin öğretmen olarak aynı okulda bulunmaması gerek kendileri gerekse örgüt açısından daha faydalı görülmektedir. Araştırma bulguları genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, çok büyük farklar olmamakla birlikte, eşlerin aynı okulda çalıştığı zaman bir çok soruna neden olabileceği yönündedir.

Globalization Of Education

The globalization of education has resulted in a rise in the number of overseas students studying in Asian nations. Additionally, the number of Southeast Asia students studying in Asian nations such as Taiwan continues to grow. Southeast Asia students, in example, have increased in the last two years, and Vietnam is Taiwan's second biggest supplier of foreign students, behind only China. The unusual spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a decline in the number of Southeast Asia students studying in Taiwan. However, as a result of Taiwan's successful anti-pandemic efforts, Southeast Asia students continue to see Taiwan as one of the top study-abroad destinations in Asia. Nowadays, the majority of research on foreign students' preferences for international education locations has concentrated on the European and American settings. This study focuses on Southeast Asia students as study subjects due to their social origins and cultural distinctions among foreign students in each country. Ten Southeast Asia students enrolling at Taiwanese institutions in 2020, the year most impacted by the pandemic, were interviewed using a semi-structured interview style. The research findings suggest a number of critical elements that influence Southeast Asia students' decision to study in Taiwan. While healthcare and pandemic readiness are the most significant elements, other conventional selection criteria such as educational resources, scholarships, education grants, school reputation, and location continue to influence foreign students' preferences. This study makes pertinent suggestions in light of its results.

Abstract This article addresses an emerging phenomenon in which Brazilian popular musicians have begun to depart from popular song (canção popular) in favour of free improvisation in response to rising authoritarianism. As a case study, I examine the creative project Carta Branca, which brings together popular and experimental musicians from styles such as MPB and hip-hop to perform freely improvised concerts. Following a consideration of the history of Brazilian canção popular, the article discusses how contemporary popular musicians engage in free improvisation as an alternative means of musical critique. I contend that their actions constitute evidence of a broader ‘post-canção’ moment, with the potential to facilitate more flexible and collective ways of responding to Brazil's reactionary moment. The article further discusses how the musicians’ improvisational turn fosters a renewed engagement with a form of cultural improvisation tied to understandings of national identity and being in the world specific to Brazil.

Motherhood, which seems to be a women’s issue in principle, has always been a phenomenon that needs to be regulated through various practices by the rulers, in order for the patriarchy to sustain itself. This affects especially the lives of women who are not married but want to have a kid in many ways. In this research, the women in Turkey who want to but cannot have a kid because they are not married were asked semi-structured questions. The research evaluates why these women want to have a kid, what the psychological and social effects of being unable to have a kid are, how they cope with this situation, and whether they prefer to be a mother in a society where gender equality is ensured and single motherhood by choice is possible. In the research, case study, which is a type of qualitative research design, and homogenous sampling, which is a purposive sampling method, was used. Twenty women who were single and over 30 years old were interviewed face-to-face. The women were asked 16 questions. Then content analysis of the responses was done. The findings reveal that the women who cannot have a child have serious psychological and social problems.
