The aim of this research is to determine teachers’ attitude levels towards assessment and evaluation who teach Turkish as a foreign language and to examine them in terms of various variables. Survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. Teachers (n=233) who teach Turkish in various institutions participated in the research. “Personal Information Form” prepared by researchers and “Assessment and Evaluation Attitude Scale for Teachers” developed by Tezci (2019) were used as data collection tools in the research. As a result of the research, it was determined that on average the Turkish teachers’ attitude scores towards assessment and evaluation is at a “high” level with 4.11. In addition, a significant difference was found between the Turkish teachers’ attitudes towards assessment and evaluation and the variables such as professional experience, receiving training for assessment and evaluation in language teaching, analising of prepared exams in terms of assessment and evaluation and evaluation and perceiving themselves as literate in assessment and evaluation. No significant difference was found between the attitudes of those who teach Turkish towards assessment in terms of the faculty they graduated from, the institutions where they were employed, regular exam preparation status, the hardest skill to assess, and the hardest skill to evaluate. Although attitudes of teachers towards assessment and evaluation are found at a “high” level in the research, taking into consideration the fact that there are many deficiencies in terms of assessment and evaluation in teaching Turkish as a foreign language and 46% of the teachers in this study consider themselves moderately literate in terms of assessment and evaluation, suggestions were made that it is necessary to work on what other factors affect teachers’ assessment and evaluation literacy

Conducting is a complex art that involves, among other things, effective nonverbal communication. While this communication includes hand and arm gestures as well as eye contact and facial expression, it also encompasses nonverbal messages sent by the rest of a conductor's body, such as his/her physical appearance. Assumptions based on what conductors look like and how well they fit the stereotypical role they are portraying often affect opinions of their job performance. Thus, the nonverbal messages sent by a conductor's physical appearance could affect ensemble members' opinions of him or her as a conductor. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate whether perceptions of a conductor's body type were a factor when judging the conductor and ensemble performances. Furthermore, relationships between ensemble performance ratings and the conductor's visual appearance characteristics (eye contact, facial expression, and posture), evaluator confidence in the conductor, and overall conductor effectiveness were explored. Neither the conductor's body type nor the gender or college major of the evaluator affected ratings of the conductor and ensemble performances. However, performance ratings were affected when the conductors were viewed in a certain order. There were moderate to moderately strong relationships between the performance ratings and conductor posture, conductor facial expression, evaluator's confidence in the conductor, and overall conducting effectiveness. Eye contact, however, was not strongly related to performance ratings.
