Education Concept

Distance education is an education type applied under ordinary and extraordinary conditions. This type of education has synchronous and asynchronous dimensions of realization. It can be said that computer-based internet technologies gain significance in a process where any of these dimensions are used. In these technology-supported learning environments, it is remarkable that the teacher and the student are in different perimeters. In this context, it can be stated that the concept of distance education requires a particular perspective, and the existing mentality of people diverts this perspective. Therefore, this study primarily aims to determine the teachers' perceptions of distance education concepts according to their genders by using mental imageries. The working group of this research, which was prepared according to the qualitative methods, consisted of 100 teachers (38 males and 62 females) who served in various academic majors in public and private educational institutions in many provinces of Turkey during the 2020-2021 school year. The study data were obtained through a survey in which the participant teachers filled in the blank spaces in the sentence of “ Distance education is similar to ... because ... ”. Study data were interpreted using the content analysis technique. Regarding the distance education concept, teachers produced mental imageries under twelve different themes. When these various themes were evaluated, it was observed that the teachers mostly formed their mental imagery by considering the "Image of Nature" theme.

Financial decision making is affected by financial literacy, having its implications spread across communities, countries and the societies in general. The importance and fragility of financial literacy has been the subject of previous studies. However, current study dived deep into public and private universities to find their contribution. Longitudinal survey approach employed withmultistage stratified random sampling technique, clustered to respondents' demographics. Financial literacy is evaluated based on simplicity, relevance, brevity and capacity of differentiation. Finding reveals that the students of the private sector became more capable of processing financial information after studying finance courses. Similarly, students having finance courses before joining universities were more financially literate as compared to others. Irrefutably, the study recommends improvement in curriculum design, teaching methodology and assessment. Higher educational institutions must improve curriculum and improvise teaching pedagogies. The findings of the study have paved the road for the dissemination of financial literacy for the growth of individuals, society and the economy Keywords: Financial literacy, Financial fragility, Financial well being, Academia.

Implicit And Explicit

Courts and scholars have long grappled with whether and to what extent educational institutions are in contract with their students. If they are, then students can sue their private universities for breaching that contract— ordinarily understood as the student handbook and other materials—when the institution levies a disciplinary action against the student. But what promises, both implicit and explicit, do private universities make to their students that courts should enforce? This question has resurfaced in the Title IX context, where courts have largely drawn clear dividing lines between the rights of public and private university students. This Comment provides a framework to understand courts’ approaches to contract law and higher education as well as implications for Title IX.
