TEACHERS' PERCEPTION OF CHRISIS MANAGEMENT IN SCHOOLS

The aim of the study is to determine the crisis preparedness level of teachers in middle schools in North Cyprus Republic. The study provided a comprehensive review of crisis management in school in terms of its effects on middle school teachers, demographic variables and relationship to teachers’ performance and teachers’ crisis intervention abilities. The safety-related types of in-service training needs of teacher was also examined in the study. Based on the aims of the study, “Crisis Intervention Scale” which was developed by Gülyüz Debeş (2020) was used to investigate teachers’ perceptions about crisis management in schools. To analyze the data content and descriptive analysis was conducted. This was both quantitative and qualitative methodology. The interview technique was used in the study and descriptive analysis was also conducted as data analysis techniques. The participants of the study comprised 48 teachers in North Cyprus Republic Semester of 2020-2021 academic years. The questionnaire forms were delivered participants, 27 (%56.3) were female and 21 (%43.8) were male. The sample of the study was randomly selected. According to the arithmetic mean score of teachers’ (2.00 to 2.48) about crisis situations that had few effect on their performance in school. Meanwhile, the arithmetic mean score of teachers’ (2.06 to 2.63) about managing crisis situations with sufficient practice, teachers’ were very good at managing crisis situations with sufficient practice. In addition, the arithmetic mean score of teachers’ (1.92 to 2.92) about safety-related types of in-service training needs teachers’ were very high

RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOLS

Abstract. The relevance of this study is to show risks that are available at schools and identify some strategies to manage such risks if they are likely to occur. Thus, education given at schools becomes better and more effective once the right strategies are set for risk management. In this respect, schools need good quality planning to avoid any risk that would prevent students from learning and facing treats. Therefore, establishing risk managent policy and making risk analysis before the academic year begins will help to monitor risks, and see the weaknesses beforehand to maximise good qualityeducation. This research is done to reveal the opinions of teachers and managers and their past experiences in such cases. Pre-test and post-test were applied in the study and the results were evaluated. It also aimed to examine the current strategies used at schools and find out if the strategies, policies are good enough and applied correctly. As a result of the study, it is seen that schools quality can become better with the right setting of risk management, risk policies and risk strategies.Keywords: Risk, Management, Strategies, Policies, Treats, Educatio

A este respecto, el análisis de documentos escritos y documentos es un método de recopilación de información utilizado en la investigación cualitativa para respaldar la información obtenida tanto por sí misma como para la entrevista y la observació

Distance learning in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic: advantages and disadvantages: Distance learning in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract The study, which utilized survey method, aimed to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning during COVID-19 pandemic over the conventional learning from the point of view of the university administrators and lecturers. The data were collected using quantitative method via an in-depth interview form administered to randomly selected 14 administrators and 13 lecturers in different universities in North Cyprus.  The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and variance analysis. The results showed that except for one participant, majority of the participants stated that they had experienced educational challenges during Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the participants encountered some problems such as the assessment and evaluation challenges (%9.7), technical challenges (%41.9), learners’ participation challenges (%19.4), and effectiveness of teaching challenges (%29.0).

The intense increasing relevance of distance learning brought the possibilities of access non-location bounded and time independent instructions through the use of synchronous and asynchronous means (Williams and Shea, 2003). With the growth interest of distance learning, technology served instructions to learners without an educator’s presence. Since, it promotes flexibility at any time regardless of context and availability to learners and educators at any time regardless of the time of content, distance learning led to many higher educational institutions to implement courses on the Internet that has &nbsp

THE THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ON SELF EFFICACY: A CASE OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS

The study aimed to investigate the Emotional Intelligence (EI) and its relationship to self-efficacy among school managers. The study was conducted to determine whether school managers develop their EI and whether EI would increase their levels of self-efficacy. The participants of the study were composed of 50 school managers. The participants were selected via randomly method. Mainly due to the study a multidimensional instrument for school managers’ emotional intelligence competence scale (EIC) was developed and validated. Therefore, the present study has used an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to establish the construct validity of the EIC model. The data were collected using quantitative model. For the data analysis Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, Simple Linear Regression and a series of Mann Whitney-U test were conducted (ANOVA non-parametric test) were utilized. The results revealed that there was a positive significant correlation between perceived EI and self-efficacy (r = 53).Thus, it can be stated that EI competence of school managers predicts strong power on their self efficacy perceptions of them. Meanwhile, the study showed that school managers' EI competence and self-efficacy perceptions were high. These findings were compared the samples of female and male. When dealing with result, the perceptions of females on self efficacy were higher than males

Teachers’ and administrators’ perception about the concepts of “ethical behavior” and “attitude”: Teachers’ and Administrators’ Perception

The study attempted to assess administrations’ and teachers’ perceptions about the concept of ethical behavior and attitude. Mainly due to the study a multidimensional instrument for administrators’ and teachers’ Ethic Behaviour and Attitude Scale (EBA) was developed and validated. Through confirmatory factor analysis, EBA was validated in two dimensions: work-related flexibility and work-related pragmatism. The study adopted relational scanning model research method based on quantitative data. The participants of the study comprised 70 administrators and teachers in North Cyprus Republic who were selected using randomly sampling model. The data were collected via Ethic Behaviour and Attitude Scale  and analyzed using a series of T-test and Mann Whitney-U test were conducted (ANOVA non-parametric test) to investigate variables with respect to gender, age and working experience. The results revealed that administrators’ and teachers’ perceptions about the concept of ethical behavior and attitude were high corresponding with the highest value of the scale. Meanwhile, school managers’ perceptions about ethical behavior and attitude were higher than teachers’ perceptions about ethical behavior and attitude regarding to work-related pragmatism. In addition, the results revealed that there were significant difference between administrators’ and teachers’ concerning their perceptions about the concept ethical behaviour and attitude according to their ages and working experiences accordingly, when school actors grow up their perceptions about the concept of ethical behavior and attitude increase school actors and school actors who are older than 25 ages were higher perceptions than are those who are under than 25 ages about ethical behavior and attitude
