When it comes to changing one's profession after a several years of professional experience in a given field, It must be admitted that the person who adopts this approach is very persevering in the quest for self-realization. Thus, the search for improvement of the working environment and its conditions are often behind this type of choice. To try to understand this phenomenon of professional mobility, we conducted a study that concerning 1st cycle secondary school teachers who became guidance counselors and we focus on two parameters concerning this population: the causes that led them make this choice, and their socio-cultural characteristics (entry profiles). This information was collected via a questionary administered to all active guidance counselors. The results of this research led us to conclude a review of the flow of national education staff and to highlight the lack of professionals for certain subjects taught.

This article aims to generate a better understanding of Hong Kong teachers’ perception of national education as implemented in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (hereafter referred to as Hong Kong SAR) and the interrelationship between their perception and the methods they adopt to teach the topic. We outline the Hong Kong context relevant to our research and review the relevant literature to consider typologies and teaching methods about and for national education. Questionnaire data focused on the seven typologies of nationalism and the three teaching methods of national education identified in the literature review. A total of 601 questionnaires were returned from 198 schools. The typologies of cultural nationalism, civic and peripheral nationalism, authoritarian nationalism, unification nationalism and cosmopolitan nationalism, and the teaching methods of group discussion and an affective approach characterize the views of Hong Kong secondary school teachers about national education. We suggest that teachers’ diverse views about nationalism and their varied use of teaching methods to achieve their goals suggest the powerful influence of current initiatives from the Chinese mainland and the need to reflect on established academic literature that proposes the decolonization of the curriculum and interactive and critical teaching methods.

This study aims to evaluate secondary school teachers' attitudes towards technology in terms of various variables. The study attempts to reveal attitudes of teachers towards technology and influence of some variables like gender, self-efficacy, branch, in-service training and the level of education. Technology is becoming more widespread and important in education. The Ministry of National Education (MEB) started the Movement to Increase Opportunities and Technology (FATIH) project. FATIH project is one of the most comprehensive projects developed around the world in order to benefit from technological developments and to have a contemporary human resource. When the studies done in the field of education and technology are examined, it can be seen that they are generally focused on adaptation of technology and students' perspectives. However, a change without teachers is not possible even with technological developments. Thus, attitudes and approaches of secondary school teachers towards technology are gaining importance since students see teachers as their role models in their most critical period of development. For this reason, it is important to evaluate secondary school teachers' attitudes towards technology in terms of some variables. In this study, the general survey model was used. The population of the study was secondary school teachers working in Sivas during the 2017-2018 academic year. The sample of the study consisted of 200 secondary school teachers and they were selected randomly. In this study, the Scale for Pre-Service Teachers' Attitudes towards Technology, developed by Aydın and Karaa (2013) and consisting of 17 items, and Personal Information Form (PIF), developed by the researcher himself by consulting expert opinions, have been used to collect data. SPSS 25 package program has been used in the analysis of the data. Arithmetic mean, t-test and ANOVA analysis methods have been carried out in the analysis of the data.
