Name, Last name: Jale ULAŞ MARBOUTİ Signature : iii ABSTRACT IN-CLASS SOCIAL PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES OF CLASSROOM TEACHERS: A SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY BASED STUDY ULAŞ MARBOUTİ, Jale Ph.D., Department of Educational Sciences Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Meral AKSU June 2015, 182 pages The purpose of the current study was to investigate how well perceived teacher autonomy, teacher self-efficacy, and vocational social support predict in-class social problem solving ability of classroom teachers. In order for this investigation, a structural model was constructed based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and tested throughout the study. Data were collected via In-Class Social Problem Solving Inventory Scale (ICSPSI), Teacher Autonomy Scale-Turkish Teachers (TAST), Vocational Social Support Scale: Teacher (VSSST), and Turkish Version of Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TTSES) from 728 classroom teachers working in state elementary schools located in three main districts of Adana, Turkey. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed that all of the independent variables, teacher autonomy, teacher self-efficacy, and vocational social support, significantly predicted the in-class social problem solving abilities of classroom teachers. Among all of the independent variables, teacher self-efficacy was found to be the best predictor. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the higher the teachers’ perceived autonomy, self-efficacy, and vocational social support received were, the better their performance in solving the problems that they encounter in their classrooms was. The conclusion implicate that educators should take the necessary actions to increase teachers’ iv perceived autonomy, self-efficacy, and vocational social support received so that the teachers can solve the problems that they encounter in their classrooms more effectively. Key words: In-class social problem solving, self-determination theory, teacher autonomy, teacher self-efficacy, vocational social support v ÖZ SINIF ÖĞRETMENLERİNİN SINIF-İÇİ SOSYAL SORUN ÇÖZME BECERİLERİ: BENLİK-BELİRLEME KURAMI TEMELLİ BİR ÇALIŞMA ULAŞ MARBOUTİ, Jale Doktora, Eğitim Bilimleri Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Prof. Dr. Meral AKSU Haziran 2015, 182 sayfa Bu çalışmanın amacı sınıf öğretmenlerinin algıladıkları özerklik, öz-yeterlik ve mesleki sosyal destek düzeylerinin onların sınıf-içi sorun çözme becerilerini ne kadar iyi yordadığını araştırmaktır. Bu araştırma kapsamında Benlik-Belirleme Kuramına (BBK) dayalı yapısal bir model oluşturulmuş ve test edilmiştir. Veriler Sınıf-İçi Sosyal Sorun Çözme Ölçeği (SİSSÇE), Öğretmen Özerklik Ölçeği-Türkçe (ÖÖÖT), Mesleki Sosyal Destek Ölçeği: Öğretmen (MSDÖÖ) ve Öğretmen Öz-yeterlik Algısı Ölçeği (ÖÖAÖ) kullanılarak Adana ilinin üç merkez ilçesinde bulunan devlet okullarında görev yapan 728 sınıf öğretmeninden toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları bütün bağımsız değişkenlerin (öğretmen özerkliği, öğretmen öz- yeterliği ve mesleki sosyal destek) öğretmenlerin sınıf-içi sosyal sorun çözme becerilerini anlamlı bir şekilde yordadığını göstermiştir. Bu bağımsız değişkenler arasında, öğretmen öz- yeterliği değişkeninin sınıf-içi sorun çözme becerisini diğerlerinden daha iyi yordadığı bulunmuştur. vi Çalışma sonuçlarına bağlı olarak, öğretmenlerin algıladıkları özerklik, öz-yeterlik ve sosyal destek düzeyleri arttıkça sınıf içinde karşılaştıkları sorunları çözme konusundaki performanslarının da artacağı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bunun için de eğitim ile ilgili taraflara öğretmenlerin algıladıkları özerklik, öz-yeterlik ve mesleki sosyal destek düzeylerinin artırılması için gerekli adımların atılması yönünde önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sınıf-içi sosyal sorun çözme, benlik-belirleme kuramı, öğretmen özerkliği, öğretmen öz-yeterliği, mesleki sosyal destek vii DEDICATION to my family and to my supervisor Prof. Dr. Meral AKSU viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should sincerely state that I feel so lucky to work with my supervisor Prof. Dr. Meral Aksu.

  • On the Role of the Rockefeller Foundation in Establishing Theatre Education Programmes and Transnational Theatrical Spaces in Turkey During the Cold War
    Journal of Global Theatre History ISSN: 2509-6990 Vol. 4, No. 2, 2020 Hasibe Kalkan On the Role of the Rockefeller Foundation in Establishing Theatre Education Programmes and Transnational Theatrical Spaces in Turkey during the Cold War Abstract This article focuses on the American impact and, in particular, that of the Rockefeller Foundation on the theatre landscape of Turkey, especially on its educational programmes. In the years of the Cold War, Turkey played a strategic role for the United States. In order to establish an ideological base against the nearby Soviet Union, the Rockefeller Foundation was used to build up and fund a network of artists and academics, which included theatre professionals and academics in Turkey. The article also attempts to show the transnational spaces that have emerged for some artists as a result of the opening to the US. Keywords Cold War, Rockefeller Foundation, Theatre Education, Theatre Studies, Playwrighting Author Hasibe Kalkan teaches at the Department of Theatre Studies at Istanbul University and heads the Department of Dramaturgy and Playwriting. Her research interests include documentary theatre, intercultural theatre, and theatre semiotics. Kalkan has worked as a dramaturge at the Istanbul State Theatre and writes theatre reviews for various daily newspapers and magazines. Introduction The foundation of theatre education programmes in Turkey was clearly shaped by the modernization and Europeanization process in the country following the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923. However, it must be remembered that the move towards the West had begun much earlier. The leadership of the late Ottoman Empire, beginning in the 18th century, turned to the West to adopt military and, later, technocratic achievements in order to halt its steady decline and return the empire to its former strength.

The Design of the Species 2 seconds, 2 days, 2 years, 200 years, 200,000 years by Alper Maral, Gökhan Akçura and Pelin Derviş with contributions by Tanju Eren and Barış Gün, and the support of Studio-X Istanbul translated by Liz Erçevik Amado, Selin Irazca Geray and Gülce Maşrabacı editorial support by Ceren Şenel, Erim Şerifoğlu graphic design by Selin Pervan WHAT ABOUT MUSIC?* The fact that music is a field of design is a proposition that can still by deemed odd, unfamiliar in Turkey, or more precisely in the Asia Minor – Middle East geography we are situated in; this field is either not taken seriously enough, belittled as trivial, “recreational”, dispensable, or elevated to the status of an elusive “feat” beyond earthly conceptions, practices with an enchanting label of “creativity”, or as is repeated also in many other cultures, considered worthy only as it is reproduced under the sanction of “primeval traditions”. And for this very reason, music, like many other disciplines, has only found the opportunity to shake this status quo and make somewhat novel breakthroughs with the –at times overtly vulgar—moves of Modernism. When we avoid reducing design to merely physical mediums and place emphasis also on its intellectual context, its abstract predicates—ranging from method to model, from imagination to the “artwork”—it would not be misguided to assert that music has been subject to a process which has gained momentum especially with the Republic, while its most primal moves can only be deciphered in the Tanzimat reform era, and that its reflections—products—have gained visibility again along the axis of this process.

Also, it aims to reveal what awaits teachers in the school environment and the current experiences of teachers at the beginning of the profession. Case study design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. The study group of the research consists of 34 social studies teachers working in secondary schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education (Turkey) in the districts of Ankara. Participants were selected on an equal basis from all districts of Ankara province. Purposeful sampling, one of the non-random sampling methods was used in determining participants. In addition, criterion sampling was also used in the purposeful sampling phase. The obtained data were subjected to the content and descriptive analysis. As a result of the research, following the latest changes and developments and developing their basic knowledge and skills seems important for teachers who started their profession in the public sector. The multidisciplinary of the social studies branch, attractivity, and the fact that there are no alternatives comes to the fore in teachers' decision-making process to become social studies teachers.
