Understanding the current and future technology use behaviors of secondary school students who started distance education during the pandemic process is essential to their academic success. The aim of this study is to examine the technology use status of 8th-grade students studying at secondary school during the pandemic period. We used the relational survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, in the research. Data was collected by sending the scale to 680 students' parents via link. We used the Dijitanaliz (Digital Addiction Scale) developed by Dilci as a data collection tool and the Dijitanaliz technique in the analysis of the data. According to the findings, 1 out of 3 people has digital addiction, while the remaining 2 out of 3 are candidates for addiction. It is an undeniable fact that the duration of digital media usage has increased during the pandemic process.

The aim of this study is to examine the status of digital contact habits of primary school students during the pandemic period. This study is important because it will reveal the difference between primary school students' digital contact habits before and after the COVID-19 period. The study also has the distinction of being the first within the scope of studies conducted at primary school level in the direction of digital life skills and addiction. Survey method was used. The study group consists of 986 parents of primary school students in three different provinces in districts similar to each other in terms of socioeconomic and cultural aspects. The collected data were obtained by Digital analyze technique. The data was interpreted in the artificial intelligence-algorithmic system. According to the findings, the addiction rate increased in the study group students during the COVID-19 period, and one out of every four children was digitally dependent.

The aim of this study is to develop a diagnostic scale to measure the influence of digital dependency, which has swiftly been a part of today's standards of living, on individuals in quite a tangible way and to carry out a validity-reliability study on this scale. The sample group of the scale consists of 450 university students (264 female and 286 male) studying at Cumhuriyet University in the 2017-2018 academic year. The scale has five-point Likert type and has been initially converted into a draft questionnaire consisting of 53 items. In accordance with the feedbacks from the field experts, some alterations have been employed, then it is made ready for pre-application. After the preliminary test, factor loadings below 0.30 are subtracted from the scale and structural validity has been ensured. The scale is concluded with 40 items possessing high internal consistency in the measurement tool. It has been determined that the KMO value of the scale is 0.94; Bartlett test 0.00 (p <0.01); the released variance is 64.7% in the factor analysis of the scale. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, while the inter-item fit index is found to be significant in the Chi-square value (x[superscript 2] = 756.20, N = 450, sd = 278, p = 0.00); it is detected that RMSEA: 0.075, SRMR: 0.14, GFI: 0.87, AGFI: 0.91, CFI: 0.98, IFI: 0.98, NFI: 0.093; x[superscript 2] / df = 2.78. The "Cronbach's alpha (a)" internal consistency coefficient of the scale is found to be 0.976. Considering the data obtained, with respect to its validity and reliability, it is assumed that the 40-item-scale for aged 19 or older will close the gap in the field and contribute to the literature.

The educational community recognizes individual differences, but it is important to fully address them in educational settings. While there are existing studies on personality traits, none focus on the personality traits of students aged 6-18. This study aims to fill this gap, as personality traits significantly influence personal, academic, and professional life. Understanding student personalities allows for the development of more effective educational programs, facilitating their full potential. The study included parents of 2,229 students from a population of 16,505,271 aged 6-18 in Turkiye. Through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a reliable 61-item 5-point Likert scale (a = .942) was derived. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed on a second dataset of 916 parents, resulting in 794 due to outliers. The Scale for Determining Student Personalities According to Parental Perspectives, with 16 sub-dimensions and 46 items, demonstrated good reliability (a = .948). The study's findings are expected to hold significant implications for education, parenting, and child development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Among our teachers, who are the cornerstone of education, class teachers have a great influence on us as we have spent the longest period of our education with them and learned basic knowledge and skills from them. Perhaps we cannot assess their value objectively when we are children, but we can assess their effectiveness in teaching-learning process years later. The study aims to examine prospective class teachers' assessment of their own class teachers' competence in teaching-learning process in the classroom atmosphere in the first five years of their primary school education in terms of gender, their class teacher's gender, grade and the place where they completed the first five years of primary education. In this study, relational screening model was used. The study group is composed of 521 prospective teachers attending Primary School Education Department at Faculty of Education of Cumhuriyet University in 2011-2012 education year. In this study, we used 33-item teacher competencies scale. For the analysis of data obtained, prospective class teachers' assessment of their own class teachers was interpreted with arithmetic means and standard deviation without considering variables. Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was administrated to determine suitability of scores to normality. As p-values of all variables were found to be lower than a=.05 as a result of test, There was not found any significant difference in prospective class teachers' assessment of class teachers' competencies in terms of their own gender and their teachers' gender. Significant difference was found between assessments of prospective teachers in terms of the place where they finished the first five years. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that teacher competencies are to be functionalized, pre-service and in-service education are to be attached importance, and teachers are to be encouraged pursuing master education to improve themselves.
