Eğitim yönetimi açısından ele alındığında, metaforların müfredat geliştirirken, planlama yapılırken, öğrenme motivasyonları yaparken ve yaratıcı düşünce eğitimlerinde sıklıkla kullanılan bir yöntem olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, okulu daha iyi anlamak için de metaforlardan yararlanmak mümkündür. Bu doğrultuda bu araştırmanın amacı okul yöneticilerinin okul ve ideal okul kavramlarına ilişkin düşüncelerini metafor yardımıyla açığa çıkarmaktır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji (olgubilim) deseni kullanılan bu araştırmanın örneklemini; Amasya ilindeki ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise okul türlerinde görev yapmakta olan 37 okul yöneticisi oluşturmaktadır. Maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen okul yöneticilerinin, okul ve ideal okula ilişkin algılarını belirlemek üzere araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan ve iki bölümden oluşan yarı-yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan okul yöneticilerinin en çok birleştikleri metaforun “anne” olduğu, daha sonra ise “insan” ve “ağaç” metaforlarının söylenme sıklığının da aynı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Okul yöneticilerinin ideal okul kavramına ilişkin ürettikleri metaforlarda en çok birleştikleri kavramların ise “fabrika”, “insan”, “Şeyh Edebali”, “araba”, “güneş” olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. En sık tekrarlanan metaforun “anne” olduğu göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, ailenin her zaman bireylerin ilk eğitim yeri olduğu gerçeğinin hâlâ geçerliliğini sürdürdüğü söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak, ailenin eğitim sürecine aktif katılımı, okul ikliminin geliştirilmesine, müfredat programının iyileştirilmesine, aile çocuk eğitimi bilgi ve becerilerinin geliştirilmesine, ailelerin katılımı ile birlikte öğretmenlerin görevlerini daha rahat yapmasına katkıda bulunacaktır.

UNSTRUCTURED The UK General Medical Council (GMC) explicitly states doctors have a duty to ‘contribute to teaching and training…by acting as a positive role model’. However, recent studies suggest some are not fulfilling this, which is impacting medical students' experiences and attitudes during their training. As such, doctors have a duty to act as role models and teachers, as specified by the GMC, which it seems are not currently being fulfilled. This would improve the medical students’ learning experiences and demonstrate good professional values for them to emulate. Therefore, these duties should be as important as patient care, since this will influence future generations.

Seeking shade, the use of textile sun protection and sunscreen, and protecting one’s eyes by wearing sunglasses are recommended sun protection measures in children. We aimed to quantify the use of these measures as well as the prevalence of sunburn in children aged 1 to 10 years in Germany and to identify their determinants. Data collected via telephone interviews in a nationwide sample of 554 parents or caregivers in family were analyzed. Use of sunscreen was the most common measure applied (77.8%), while sunglasses were least frequently used (12.5%). The prevalence of sunburn during the past year was 21.8%, and it was positively associated with children’s age. The use of sun protection measures was significantly associated with the age and skin color of the child, while characteristics and tanning behaviors of the caregivers only played a minor role. The use of sun protection measures was higher when caregivers perceived themselves as a role model (Odds Ratio (OR) = 4.33, p < 0.001). Our nationwide data show that there remains a need for the improved use of sun protection measures, especially in children aged 7 to 10 years. In educational material, parents should be encouraged to become positive role models for their children regarding sun protection.
