The purpose of this study is to reveal the experiences of the teacher candidates about their personal phones, their phone usage situations and their perceptions about their smartphones during the Covid-19 process. The mixed method procedure was followed in the study. In the quantitative dimension, the survey model was used in order to reveal the smartphone usage status of the teacher candidates, while in the qualitative dimension, the phenomenology model was used to determine their perceptions about the smartphone. The sample of the study consisted of 45 teacher candidates studying in the faculty of education at a state university located in Turkey's Aegean region during the 2020-2021 fall semester. The data of the study were collected by the researcher with a questionnaire form created by taking the literature review and expert opinion. The quantitative data collected within the scope of the research were subjected to statistical analysis. The metaphors collected in qualitative dimension were analyzed with content analysis. Research findings indicated that the teacher candidates were generally aware of the technical features of their personal phones. On the other hand, it has been determined that they are indecisive in controlling themselves about their phone usage, being dependent on their phones and being aware of their phone time. It has been observed that the teacher candidates produced metaphors for their smart phones that point to the themes of “addiction, functionality, correct use, having a happy time, socialization/communication and other.” It can be said that the research is important in terms of providing researchers and decision makers with new perspectives on the smartphone perception and experiences of teacher candidates in the Covid-19 process.

Academic Self Efficacy

The aim of this study was to investigate the academic self-efficacy perceptions of primary school mathematics teacher candidates according to different variables. For this purpose, the “Academic Self-Efficacy Scale”, which was developed by Jerusalem and Schwarz (1981) to measure the academic self-efficacy beliefs of mathematics teacher candidates, which was adapted to Turkish by Yılmaz, Gürçay and Ekici (2007) and validated by the reliability and validity scale, were used as data collection tools. The study was conducted in the fall semester of 2017-2018 academic year. The sample of the study consists of 157 teacher candidates studying at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of the Elementary Mathematics Teaching Program of the Faculty of Education at a state university. Independent sample t-test and ANOVA were used for the analysis of collected information. As a results of data analysis, student’s academic self efficacy perceptions were found generally high. In addition, it was concluded that the mean scores of academic self-efficacy perceptions of mathematics teachers did not show a statistically significant difference according to their gender and grade level, but there was a significant difference between the age, whether they willingly chose what they are studying or not and mathematics achievement groups.

The aim of the study is to analyze the cognitive construct of teacher candidates on ideal qualifications of academicians. Since the study has both quantitative and qualitative dimensions, it has been conducted in accordance with the exploratory sequential design which is a kind of mixed method. The study included twenty-four teacher candidates who were studying at different departments, at Kazım Karabekir Faculty of Education, Atatürk University during 2019-2020 spring semester.

Teknolojik gelişmeler eliyle küresel iletişim ağının genişlemesi, şüphesiz en büyük etkisini eğitim alanında göstermiştir. Nitekim ülkeler ve bireyler arasındaki iletişim ağlarının yaygınlaşması, eğitim alanında; bilgi kaynaklarının, fikirlerin ve ürünlerin dolaşımını hızlandırarak küresel bir eğitim algısı meydana getirmiştir. Özellikle covid-19 salgını ile birlikte uzaktan eğitime geçiş süreci hızlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda öğrencilerin davranışlarını ve psikoloik durumlarını araştırmak ve bu süreci iyi yönetmelerine katkı sağlamak önemli görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının uzaktan eğitim sürecinde psikolojik iyi oluş düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Öğretmen adaylarının uzaktan eğitim sürecinde psikolojik iyi oluş düzeylerini incelemeyi amaçlayan bu araştırma nicel yöntemli nedensel karşılaştırma modelli bir araştırmadır.

The aim of this research is to determine the role of multiple representations such as problem picture, ray diagram, and equation used by the students in solution of the image projection problems. The study is performed by the survey method. The participants of this study were prospective physics teachers of a faculty of education from a state university in Turkey. Fifty-three teacher candidates solved open-ended questions and 20 of them were also interviewed. The results have shown that the students used two different types of solution method; in solution 1, they used the solution method where “problem pictures, mirror/lens equations and ray diagrams” are used, and in solution 2, they used the solution method where “problem pictures and mirror/lens equations” are used. The results show that students mostly prefer the second solution method, however, the students who prefer the first solution method are more successful than them. Also, it is found that the students have various alternative ideas about the usage of these multiple representations. The reasons of these alternative ideas are discussed at the end of the study. Key words: alternative ideas, image formation, multiple representations, ray diagram.
