The aim of the study was to investigate secondary school students’ and teachers’ access to information technologies in Turkey by making interregional comparisons. Document analysis of the qualitative research methods was employed to analyze the reports issued by the Turkish Ministry of National Education, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The results of the research revealed the importance of access to information and communication technologies for both students and teachers: 67.9% of the participating students were found to have Internet connection and 69.1% a computer in their homes, while 80.3% of the students were observed to use a computer outside the school, but 19.7% were not. The results also showed that 64.6% of the students have Internet connection in their classrooms, but 29.2% of these students do not use the Internet in the classroom, whereas 8.9% use it in the classroom all the time. The rate of students using a digital device for reading is 38.1%, while that of those not using one is 61.9%. Some 32.1% of secondary school students were revealed not to have Internet connection at home. Additionally, 77% of teachers were not trained in online teaching prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings, teachers can be suggested to develop projects – i.e., of TUBITAK, E-twinning, and Erasmus – which potentially encourage students to use information and communication technologies so that both teachers and students can benefit from them. It is also suggested that the Ministry of National Education should work on improving the information communication technology competencies of teachers and students. Besides, policies should be developed to eliminate regional differences in terms of access to digital resources and technology in terms of equal opportunities and opportunities.

This paper was aimed at examining the structure and expression of national identity among secondary school students (N=568) in different towns in Serbia, its relation to self-esteem and achievement motive, as well as the differences regarding socio-demographic characteristics (sex and place of residence). The instruments used are the Scale of National Identity NAIT, the Global Self-Esteem Scale, and the Scale to Measure Achievement Motive MOP2002. The results have shown that the values of national identity are above the theoretical average and significantly higher than the values recorded among the adolescents in an earlier study. Among general characteristics of their own nation, secondary school students value culture more than history, character traits and state institutions (lowest-ranked in comparison to all other characteristics), finding that courage is the most pronounced individual characteristic, while the least pronounced one is hypocrisy. A positive correlation of national identity with self-esteem and achievement motive was obtained, whereas achievement motive is also a significant national identity predictor. Significant differences were found in the expression of national identity among secondary school students in relation to their place of residence (secondary school students from Belgrade have a higher level of national identity in comparison to their peers from Niš and Kosovska Mitrovica).

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Flat foot has been reported as the most occurring clinical foot complication among pediatrics with more than 40% prevalence worldwide. This rate of prevalence is increasing by 21% to 57% in children aged 3-6 years respectively. Therefore, aim of this study is to determine the correlation between flexible flat foot and Q-angle among secondary school students by using Dennis method. METHODOLOGY This cross sectional study was conducted on 52 participants, aged 11-16 years. Screening of flat foot among participants was determined through navicular drop test. The jack toe rising test was also used to discriminate in flexible and rigid flat foot. The participants having flexible flat foot were then recruited and evaluated on Dennis method of flat foot grading. RESULTS The demographic characteristics of participants were represented through frequency, mean and standard deviation. Moreover, strong correlation between flat foot and Q-angle was observed on right side, whereas moderate correlation was detected on left side of flat foot respectively (p<0.05). CONCLUSION It was concluded that flexible flat foot has strong association with Q-angle. However, future studies must be taken in to consideration for further assessment of flat foot.

In the first half of 2020, primary and secondary school teaching was transformed into online teaching in China, and the teaching effects have attracted considerable attention. This article collects relevant data on the effects of online learning among primary and middle school students through questionnaire surveys to study the impact of parents and teachers on learning effects, provide an experience for future online education and improve the quality of online education for primary and secondary school students in the future. Through empirical analysis, this article draws three main conclusions. First, parents improve students’ offline social presence, while teachers or classmates improve their online presence. Both changes have a significant positive impact on students’ subjective learning effects. Second, parents are more helpful with regard to the improvement of students’ objective learning effects. Third, in terms of age, parents have a greater influence on younger students. The innovation of this article is that the object of the study is primary and secondary school students. The article considers not only the role of teachers but also the role of parents, thereby filling gaps in the previous literature. JEL codes: I20, I21, I25
