Okul Müdürlerinin Güçlendirici Liderlik Davranışları ile Öğretmenlerin Öz Yeterlik Algıları ve İş Doyumu Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişki

This study aims to examine the relationship between empowering leadership behaviors of school principals and teachers' self-efficacy perceptions and job satisfaction levels. 260 teachers working in the Antakya district of Hatay province and selected by the stratified sampling method participated in the study. The Empowering Leadership Questionnaire, Teacher Self-Efficacy Belief Scale, Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale were used to collect research data. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and path analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study show that according to teachers' perceptions, school principals' empowering leadership behaviors are high. Similarly, it was found that teachers' self-efficacy perceptions and job satisfaction were also at a high level. Again, research findings reveal that there are moderate and positive relationships between empowering leadership behavior, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction. Empowering leadership behavior and self-efficacy are significant predictors of job satisfaction. Self-efficacy has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between empowering leadership behavior and job satisfaction. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that the empowering leadership behaviors of school principals, who play an important role in teachers’ job satisfaction, have this effect on teachers' self-efficacy.Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul müdürlerinin güçlendirici liderlik davranışları ile öğretmenlerin öz yeterlik algıları ve iş doyumları düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmaya Hatay ili Antakya ilçesinde görev yapan ve tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 260 öğretmen katılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında Güçlendirici Liderlik Ölçeği, Öğretmen Öz Yeterlik İnanç Ölçeği, Minnesota İş Doyumu Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistiklerden, regresyon analizinden ve yol analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, öğretmenlerin algılarına göre okul müdürlerinin güçlendirici liderlik davranışlarının yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Benzer şekilde öğretmenlerin öz yeterlik algıları ile iş doyumlarının da yüksek düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları güçlendirici liderlik davranışları, öz yeterlik ve iş doyumu arasında orta düzeyde ve pozitif yönlü ilişkilerin olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Güçlendirici liderlik davranışları ve öz yeterlik, iş doyumunun anlamlı bir yordayıcısıdır. Öz yeterlik, güçlendirici liderlik davranışları ve iş doyumu arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracı etkiye sahiptir. Araştırmanın bulgularına dayalı olarak öğretmenlerin iş doyumu üzerinde önemli bir rol oynayan okul müdürlerinin güçlendirici liderlik davranışlarının bu etkiyi öğretmenlerin öz yeterliği üzerinden gerçekleştirdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır

Views of secondary school students on ideal teacher qualifications: A phenomenological analysis

This research aimed to reveal the views of secondary school students on ideal teacher qualifications. For this purpose, research was carried out in a phenomenological pattern, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The study was carried out with 76 students who were studying in a secondary school in the 2017-2018 academic year. The data were obtained with the repertory grid technique and interview technique. As a result of the analysis of the data, it was seen that the qualifications of the teachers considered ideal by the participants were among the general competencies of the teaching profession. According to the results of this research, ideally, teachers are expected to provide good and fun lessons, not discriminate among students, be friendly and calm in communications with students, and ensure discipline and democracy in the classroom environment

Unpublished Mediterranean and Black Sea records of marine alien, cryptogenic, and neonative species

To enrich spatio-temporal information on the distribution of alien, cryptogenic, and neonative species in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, a collective effort by 173 marine scientists was made to provide unpublished records and make them open access to the scientific community. Through this effort, we collected and harmonized a dataset of 12,649 records. It includes 247 taxa, of which 217 are Animalia, 25 Plantae and 5 Chromista, from 23 countries surrounding the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Chordata was the most abundant taxonomic group, followed by Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Annelida. In terms of species records, Siganus luridus, Siganus rivulatus, Saurida lessepsianus, Pterois miles, Upeneus moluccensis, Charybdis (Archias) longicollis, and Caulerpa cylindracea were the most numerous. The temporal distribution of the records ranges from 1973 to 2022, with 44% of the records in 2020–2021. Lethrinus borbonicus is reported for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea, while Pomatoschistus quagga, Caulerpa cylindracea, Grateloupia turuturu, and Misophria pallida are first records for the Black Sea; Kapraunia schneideri is recorded for the second time in the Mediterranean and for the first time in Israel; Prionospio depauperata and Pseudonereis anomala are reported for the first time from the Sea of Marmara. Many first country records are also included, namely: Amathia verticillata (Montenegro), Ampithoe valida (Italy), Antithamnion amphigeneum (Greece), Clavelina oblonga (Tunisia and Slovenia), Dendostrea cf. folium (Syria), Epinephelus fasciatus (Tunisia), Ganonema farinosum (Montenegro), Macrorhynchia philippina (Tunisia), Marenzelleria neglecta (Romania), Paratapes textilis (Tunisia), and Botrylloides diegensis (Tunisia).peer-reviewe

Comparison of PCT, CRP, D-Dimer, Lactate, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and lL-10 in Development of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and Sepsis on Patients with Isolated Head Trauma and Polytrauma

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to compare the relationship between Glasgow Coma Scale (GKS), ISS values, PCT, CRP, D-Dimer, laktat, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 in patients with polytrauma and isolated head trauma in conjunction with SIRS and sepsis. Material and Method: Total of 68 patients (32 polytrauma, 36 isolated head trauma) aged between 18-65 years were enrolled in the study. For 7 days of follow up, the biochemical parameters were analysed on the days 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and the ISS, GCS score and growth rates of SIRS and sepsis were recorded. Results: It was demonstrated that for patients with isolated head trauma, SIRS (80.6%), sepsis (38.9%) and mortality values (71.4%) were higher and there is a statistically important linear and inverse relationship between ISS and GCS values (p<0.05). During sepsis and SIRS phases, CRP elevated in both groups, whereas PCT only in the polytrauma group. D-Dimer values were investigated high in both groups, but atypically decreased on day 3 in isolated head trauma group. Lactate, TNF-α and, IL-1β were within reference values, IL-6 and IL-10 values were elevated in both groups but were higher in the polytrauma group. Conclusion: Although multiple variations were detected in serum markers of pro-inflamatory and acute phase proteins, we thought that these are inadequate in predicting mortality and complications such as SIRS and sepsis
