The population totals were generated by supplying a unique code for each spatial unit. The census information was joined with a vector layer to transfer the population values to source units. In order to better predict the school age population distribution structure within the source zones, an intelligent areal interpolation approach was performed. The digital boundaries of the central district and villages of the Afyonkarahisar province were used as the source zones. The population surfaces of the source units were modelled by using the Corine Land use/cover (2018 dated) dataset and dasymetric mapping method. The gridded population surface model with population estimates and 1199 grid points across the province were used to model the preschool aged population in need of preschool educational services. With the current distribution of preschools in Afyonkarahisar, the preschool aged population would have to travel an average distance of 4629.49 m to access the closest preschool to them. The results of this study show that the provision of alternative preschool locations decreased the average travel distance from each residential home to each preschool by 626.82 m, thereby improving overall accessibility to preschools.

The Gerede fault zone is one of the major active structures in the western section of the NAFS. It is a 1-9-km-wide, 325-km-long and ENE-trending dextral strike-slip fault zone, with a total accumulated offset since its initiation (Late Pliocene) of about 43 km. This offset indicates an average geological slip rate of 16.5 mm/yr. The 1 February 1944 Gerede earthquake occurred within the Gerede fault zone. Based on recent field geological mapping of the rupture traces and offsets on it, the average and peak lateral offsets were measured to be 4.37 m and 7.16 m, respectively. A triangulation network covering the region was first set up between 1936 and 1943. Twentyeigth existing points of the network were reoccupied by GPS receivers between 1995 and 2004. Coseismic displacements for the February 1, 1944 Gerede earthquake were obtained at the reoccupation points by removing interseismic deformation and coseismic displacements of recent earthquakes. Modelling the coseismic displacements in elastic half space resulted in a rupture surface slippage of 4.40 ± 0.11 m and 1.02 ± 0.17 m in dextral and normal dip-slip directions, respectively. The 191-km-long and 16-km-deep rupture surface strikes N76°E and dips at 85° ± 5°both to north and south. In the present study the estimated geodetic scalar moment and moment magnitudes are M o = 4.02 × 10 20 Nm and M w = 7.74, respectively. The rupture surface was extended down dip to a depth of about 28 km, and a significant slip distribution was recovered. Based on both the geodetic and geological data, the recurrence intervals for great seismic events to be sourced from the Gerede fault zone were calculated as 232 ± 25 years and 266 ± 35 years, respectively.

The distribution of these punishments in terms of students' grade, school type and gender is also explored in the study. In this qualitative case study, the data were collected through document analysis. The study group of the study consists of nine high schools located in a district of a province in the Aegean region of Turkey. The data in the study consist of 384 disciplinary cases recorded in the disciplinary board minute books and e-school between 2016-2020 years. Content analysis was performed on the data. In the 384 disciplinary cases registered in schools, the most frequent punishment is condemnation. The disciplinary punishments are mostly concentrated on male students by gender, in 9th grade students by grade level, and in vocational and technical high school types by school type.

Firstly, a pool (303 studies) was formed of all studies which included the phrases “school culture” and “student achievement/success” in their titles. The abstracts of these studies were examined and 71 were found appropriate for the study. In the second phase, all 71 studies in the pool were examined in detail. As a result, 51 of the studies were found appropriate for inclusion, and the final sample included 66,391 subjects. The impact value of school culture on student achievement was found to be 0.49. This result shows that school culture has a medium level effect on student achievement. The moderators identified for the study were (i) type of publication, (ii) sample group, (iii) school subject or assessment type, (iv) tools of data collection, (v) the year of the studies, (vi) the country in which the research took place and (vii) sub-dimensions of school culture, of which data collection tools and the yea...

The study is designed as a quantitative correlational study. The data is collected through two scales; one of them is developed by Stephens, Young and Calabrese (2007) and was adapted into Turkish by the researchers and the second one is the Ethical Tendencies Scale developed by Kocyigit & Karadag (2016). The population of the study is 274 university students enrolled to the summer term school of an education faculty in the Aegean region of Turkey. The sample of the study consists of 101 students, 72 (71.3%) of whom are female and 29 (28.7%) are male. The sample was taken using convenience sampling technique. After the data was collected, the validity and reliability of the scales were tested, and they were found to be valid and reliable. According to the findings there is a significant correl...

Internationalization has recently become the trend and a major component in the current and future graduate education throughout the world. Consequently, studying this area in a country, the UK, which has a long experience of international education will be a considerable contribution to the field. In this study, problems, expectations and suggestions for solutions mentioned by international students studying at a state university in Newcastle upon Tyne are examined. This is a qualitative and descriptive survey research. For data collection, snowball sampling method is used. The sample consists of 21 voluntary students studying at a state university in Newcastle upon Tyne in the academic year of 2014-2015.

To this end, in this case study, data were collected from six pre-service preschool teachers through a semi-structured form and weekly meetings. The data were analyzed through descriptive analysis. Some of the basic findings of the study indicate that: peer violence, bad language, not participating to activities and constant yelling/crying are the most prevalent misbehaviors at preschool level; relaxing/punishment corner, one-to-one talking/forcing to apology, and raising voice are the most frequent intervention types. The number of students and catering to children's levels are the most frequent problems the pre-service teachers experience in teaching practice. The problems are related to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The results are discussed with the literature and recommendations are made.
