Given that teaching is a difficult and sensitive so use various tools it is important to improve the quality of teaching. One tool that can help the teacher is her abilities in the field of art. Having a beautiful handwriting, having a pleasant voice and having Theatrical abilities, can play an important role in the success of a teacher teaching. In this paper, examines the role of each teacher's teaching abilities are discussed. A good teacher also must be like an actor, because there may be an unpredictable condition in the class that perhaps the teacher isn't ready for that. The teacher should manage these conditions with a creative mind. Considering what that was said, having artistic skills plays an important role in increasing teaching efficiency. Three characters of a successful actor consist of the prepared body, accurate expression and creative mind. Every actor must be having a prepared body, and be able to control parts of his face, that are called mimic of face so-called acting, It is also the case for a teachers. Based on these statements, a teacher needs some kinds of skills and capacities for success in the teaching art.

Abstract As teachers have an influential role on the lives of their students, the moral values they impart to their students will to a great extent determine the ethical decisions made by the students. The present study aimed to determine pre-service science teachers’ ethical views and moral values in relation to some genetic issues and to determine the effect of their moral values on their ethical decisions. In order to collect the data in the current study, a questionnaire that included items related to genetic issues and the Ethical Position Scale were employed. A positive and significant correlation was found between the pre-service science teachers’ (N=255) total scores of their opinions about genetic applications or legal regulations and idealist (Pearson’s r= 0.145, p= 0.05) or relativist (Pearson’s r = 0.218, p = 0.01) moral values. The female participants were found to be more idealistic than the male participants and were found to have a greater tendency to make ethical decisions (Mfemale = 42.22, Mmale = 40.85, t(2,193), p < 0.05).

Hasan, University of Technology-Iraq Farhan Lafta Rashid, Ministry of Science and Technology-Iraq Abstract In this study; heat transfer and thermal performance characteristics are numerically investigated in a steel tube of 50 cm long, outside diameter of 60 mm and inside diameter of 30 mm with constant outside surface temperature of 1000, 1200 and 1400 Ko. The renormalization group k-ε model is used to simulate turbulence in ANSYS - FLUENT 14.5. The ribs assembly (5x5 mm cross section) were fitted in the tube and separated by 8cm pitch. Results of temperature and velocity distribution along the tube center line for the case of tube with internal ribs were compared with that of plain tube, these results show that the use of internal ribs enhance the heat transfer rate and found to possess the highest performance factors for turbulent flow. Key words: CFD, heat transfer enhancement, cooling enhancement, internal ribs, turbulators and turbulent flow. * ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Farhan Lafta Rashid, Ministry of Science and Technology-Iraq.

  • Turkish Academics' Self-Efficacy Beliefs in Their Spoken English
    International Journal of Progressive Education, Volume 16 Number 6, 2020 © 2020 INASED Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: Turkish Academics’ Self-efficacy Beliefs in their Spoken English Adem Yılmaz i Kastamonu University Pınar Ayyıldız ii Ankara Science University Hasan Şerif Baltacı iii Başkent University Abstract Academics are known as individuals designing and conducting scientific research and they are to hold problem-solving skills, use scientific methods, carry out research, and publish at a global level. That said, they may encounter problems while performing the actions mentioned above due to a lack of foreign language proficiency, which interferes with sharing their knowledge with the others in the international arena. Taking that into consideration, this study aims to scrutinize the self-efficacy beliefs of Turkish academics regarding their oral communication in English. For this purpose, the data were collected through e-mails, and a total of 352 academics working in the departments of educational sciences participated in the study. Qualitative (document analysis) and quantitative research (survey) methods were used together in the study. The scale "A Self-efficacy Instrument for Academics’ Oral Communication in a Foreign Language" developed by Özer, Çakır & Uzun (2019), was utilized in the quantitative data collection phase. The findings were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that the self-efficacy scores of academics with respect to their oral communication in English showed no significant difference in terms of their department, academic title, academic experience, and age variable. It also turned out that there is a significant difference between self-efficacy belief scores and experience abroad, current language exam scores, and involvement in academic events abroad.

  • Understanding Global Citizenship Levels of Turkish Erasmus Students in Poland from Different Variables
    ISSN 2414-8385 (Online) European Journal of September-December 2017 ISSN 2414-8377 (Print Multidisciplinary Studies Volume 2, Issue 6 Understanding Global Citizenship Levels of Turkish Erasmus Students in Poland from Different Variables Kadir Karatekin Kastamonu University, Faculty of Education, Kastamonu, Turkey Muhammed Hayati Taban Kastamonu University, School of Foreign Languages, Kastamonu, Turkey Abstract Global citizenship has been a phenomenon at presence since Kant’s Perpetual Peace (1795) though it is seemed nascent. The concept defined as “world citizen by Kant, has been widely used as “post national citizenship”, “cosmopolitan citizenship” and “global citizenship” as a solution to the problems of the global age. Sociology, International Relations and Educational Sciences emphasizes different aspects of global citizenship while all of them champion the effect of study abroad experience on global citizenship. In other words, study abroad experience helps awareness of the global problems, produce solutions for these problems and finally take actions at the global level. Hence forth, Erasmus program which is one of the most extensive study abroad programs is considered to contribute to personal awareness process for responsibilities beyond his own society. From this point of view this study conducted through descriptive survey model aims to understand the effect of different variables on the global citizenship levels of Turkish Erasmus students in Poland. In line with this aim, 201 Turkish Erasmus students in Poland were conducted “global citizenship scale” developed by Morais & Ogden (2010). Findings suggest that Turkish Erasmus students have an intermediate level of global citizenship, and get the lowest level from global civic engagement sub dimension. Also it is understood that some variables have an impact on global citizenship.

The past of Kastamonu begins with the Hittite Empire. These lands dominated by Phrygian and Lydia Kingdoms after the Hittites were seized by the Persians. The Great Alexander made Kastamonu lands as well as Anatolia a part of Macedonia in the 4th century BC. Kastamonu remained within the borders of the Roman Empire for a long time and it joined to the Byzantium Empire in 395 A.D with the collapse of the Roman Empire. Turkish residents taking part in the activities against Byzantium during the foundation period of the Ottoman Principality provided great support to the principality. Kastamonu became a part of the Ottoman Empire after Fatih Sultan Mehmet conquered this city and Sinop to integrate it into the empire in 1460 after Candaroğulları Principality fell to pieces. Being an important province in the Ottoman Period, Kastamonu was the centre of administration for Sinop, Çankırı, Zonguldak, Bolu and Çorum cities and also Üsküdar district for a long time. Kastamonu was of great importance as it provided logistic support during the National Struggle Period.

  • About Issa Turkey
    ABOUT ISSA TURKEY Education In Turkey 1 2 www.issa.org.tr ABOUT ISSA TURKEY PREFACE The foremost indicator of the internationalization of the universities around the world includes the number of the foreign students they teach, and the countries from which these come. Furthermore, every youth would like to study in a university giving the best education at international standards. Seeking after knowledge at the best and farthest institution has been a common rule throughout history. Throughout history, particularly in the Islam culture, many scholars had gone to various realms cradling science and wisdom, and been taught far away from their countries. Having risen in the last century, the number of students worldwide has reached above 5 million worldwide. Besides, this has become a major service sector for all countries in socio-cultural and economical terms, having reached to an annual economical volume of $ 100 billion. Anatolia has been a center of education and science thanks to the scientist it has brought up, its history, its nature, and its geopolitical location at the intersection of three continents. Today, Turkey, too, is an educational center in its territory with its nearly 200 universities, and more than 100 hundred thousand students coming from 95 counties. Students prefer Turkey due to the particular reasons mentioned below. Turkey is a modern Muslim country being governed by Republican regime. Turkey is a country with a thriving economy, alongside its historical, climatic, and natural beauties. Turkish universities accommodate all departments in Turkey with numerous alternatives. While Turkish universities in general are at European standards, not only the private universities are cheaper than those in Europe, it is also way cheaper to study in the state universities, and even for free in some of them.

In this process, urbanization activities experienced at a global level have caused numerous environmental, social, cultural, and economic problems. As a result, cities in Turkey became places where ecological imbalances and environmental problems are encountered frequently. In this study, the Kastamonu University campus area of which is still under planning and construction phase was selected as the sample area for the purpose of decreasing the effects of these problems and realizing natural landscape values within the city. There was an attempt to detect herbaceous species among the natural landscape values in the area. It was further suggested that the species that were detected with both informing and aesthetic features should be assessed, providing sustainability of the species of Hyacinthella micrantha (Boiss.) Chouard, which is endemic, Euphorbia cardiophylla Boiss.&Heldr., and Salvia hypargeia Fisch.&C.A.Mey by protecting them using in-situ and ex-situ methods.
