Motivation, which is a magical concept, is a remarkable concept in behavioral sciences and psychology as well as in the science of religious education. Because it may be necessary to motivate teachers, a profession that raises the next generation, in order to reveal the expected behaviors. For this reason, motivation research has been frequently utilized in business life in order to get the highest level of efficiency from employees. Because the efficiency to be obtained from employees with low motivation will also be low and this situation will cause economic problems for companies. The research and practices carried out until today have revealed many different theories about motivation. Managers in various business lines are sensitive to employee motivation by taking into account the results of research in order to increase productivity. It will be more difficult to achieve the goals of educational policies with low motivated teachers than with highly motivated teachers. For this reason, it will directly affect the quality of education if administrators know what motivates teachers and take measures and make necessary improvements at this point. In this direction, the primary purpose of this study is to determine what the current motivation sources of Religious Culture and Ethics teachers are and to ensure that those concerned take them into consideration. As a result of the analyses conducted in this study, it was determined that the motivation sources of Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge teachers showed significant differences according to the schools they work in terms of power factor, according to their marital status in terms of belief factor, according to the type of education in their schools in terms of power factor, and according to their education level in terms of incentive factor. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was seen that there was a positive relationship between all variables. In addition, it was understood that the factor with the highest mean score as a source of motivation was the belief factor and the factor with the lowest mean score was the power factor.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de 2022 yılında çıkarılan Öğretmenlik Meslek Kanunu’nu öğretmenler üzerinde disiplinsel iktidar kurma süreci açısından çözümlemektir. Nitel olarak tasarlanan bu araştırmada, Foucaultcu eleştirel söylem analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, Michel Foucault’nun konuya ilişkin görüşleri başlangıç noktası olarak alınarak Öğretmenlik Meslek Kanunu ve ilişkili metinler eleştirel bir analize tabi tutulmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında dokümantasyon yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan disiplinsel iktidar kavramsallaştırması, Michel Foucault’nun iktidar analizine dayandırılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, hiyerarşik gözetim, normalleştirici yaptırım ve sınav olmak üzere üç tema altında sunulmuştur. Araştırma bulgularına göre, yapılan yasal düzenleme ile iktidarların öğretmenleri disiplinsel iktidar uygulamalarını kullanarak hiyerarşik hale getirilmiş sıkı bir gözetim ağı ile denetim altına alabileceği; normali tanımlayıp bunun dışında kalanı patolojik olarak niteleyebileceği; tüm yaptırımlarını sınav ile bir sonuca bağlayabilecek bir tutum sergileyebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. İktidar teknikleri aracılığıyla öğretmenlerin davranışları ve düşünceleri üzerinde bir kontrol mekanizması işletilmektedir. Meslek kanunu, barındırdığı birden çok yaptırım ile öğretmenlik mesleğini dönüştürürken iktidarın meslek üzerindeki otoritesini pekiştirdiği önemli bir araç olarak kullanılmaktadır. Oysa yapılan yasal düzenlemeler teknik bilgileri ölçmek yerine öğretim süreçlerinin niteliğine odaklanmalıdır.

The aim of this research is to adapt the Teacher Grit Scale developed by Baraquia (2020) into Turkish. The scale consists of 14 items and consists of two sub-dimensions called perseverance in teaching and passion and purpose in teaching. A total of 641 (402+239) teachers and teacher candidates were included in the research. While examining the psychometric properties of the scale, EFA, CFA and criterion-related validity (concurrent validity), test-retest, and Cronbach's alpha reliability methods were used. The Short Grit Scale developed by Duckworth and Quinn (2009) and adapted into Turkish by Sarıçam, Çelik, and Oğuz (2016) was added to calculate the criterion validity. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, the goodness of fit values of the two-dimensional structure (Perseverance in Teaching, Passion and Purpose in Teaching) [CMIN=141.943, df=76 CMIN/df =1.87; (p=.00), RMSEA=.061, CFI=.96, GFI=.93, TLI=.95, SRMR=.040], thus showing a perfect fit. In addition, item factor loads were found to range from .61 to .77. Statistically significant relationships were found between the Teacher Grit Scale and the Short Grit Scale. Cronbach's alpha value for the reliability coefficient of the measurement tool was α=.92 for the whole scale; α=.85 for perseverance in teaching and α=.91 for passion and purpose in teaching. The corrected itemtotal correlation coefficients range from .44 to .77. All these results show that the Teacher Grit Scale, which consists of 14 items and 2 dimensions, is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to evaluate the level of determination of Turkish teachers and prospective teachers in the teaching profession.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlik mesleğini prekarizasyon olgusu bağlamında incelemektir. Çalışma mevcut literatürün, fikirlerin ve bilgilerin taranmasına, özetlenmesine, değerlendirilmesine ve yorumlayıcı analizine dayanan bir eleştirel inceleme ve felsefî çözümleme denemesidir. “Prekarizasyon” ve “öğretmenlik”, çalışmanın ana tartışma izleğini oluşturan olgulardır. Prekarizasyon tam zamanlı, öngörülebilir, güvenceli ve istikrarlı geçim kaynaklarının erozyonu ile ilişkili genel bir güvensizlik durumunu imleyen; etkileri bakımından küresel, ulusal, toplumsal ve bireysel ölçekli sosyal, siyasal ve ekonomik temelli bir meseledir. Hemen her ülkede ticaretten sağlığa, basından eğitime kadar neredeyse her sektörde tesiri yüksek oranda hissedilen ve giderek de kötüleşen bir sorundur. Son birkaç on yıldaki makroekonomik değişiklikler, çalışma hayatındaki güvencesizliğe ve istikrarsızlığa karşı hiçbir mesleğin bağışık olmadığını göstermektedir. Dünya genelinde yaşanan küresel kriz ve ekonomik durgunluğun ortak etkisiyle zayıflayan uzun dönemli iş güvencesi, her meslek kadar öğretmenliği de tesiri altına almaktadır. Öğretmenlerin “koç” olarak konumlandırılmaları, suni performans ölçümleriyle standardize bir eğitim yapmak durumunda bırakılmaları, “öğretmensiz eğitim” ve “öğretmensiz sınıf”ların hızla çoğalması, atama bekleyen öğretmen sayısının artarak devam etmesi gibi çeşitli vesilelerle öğretmenlik mesleği bir yandan yeni bir anlam ve biçim kazanmakta bir yandan da güvencesizlikle karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Toplumların yükselmesinde hayati bir role sahip olan, saygın bir toplumsal statüsü bulunan ve özel bir emek formu olarak nitelenen öğretmenlik, ne yazık ki prekarizasyon sürecinin mağduru bir meslek hâline gelmektedir.

Governments are primarily responsible for meeting social needs. The main needs of the communities are manifested in educational issues. Among these are the ones related to teachers who are especially responsible for the quality of the education. It is very important that the issues related to the teaching profession are included in the government programs. Since the declaration of Republic in Turkey, governments' policies about teaching profession are manifested in their programs. The aim of this study is to reveal what issues regarding teaching profession are addressed in government programs and to evaluate them in terms of the quantities and qualities of the governments beginning from the declaration of Republic until today. For this purpose documents related to governments and their programs are examined; the data are collected through document analysis. Upon analyzing and evaluating the obtained data, comments and implications are made based on the results. Although it is remarkable that some governments did not have any program, it is important that all governments with a program addressed to the issues regarding to the teaching profession. The varying differences in terms of quantity and quality among the governments revealed that politics is an effective factor for the approaches towards teaching profession. What needs to be done is to keep the teaching profession out of politics and to follow sustainable policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turkish teaching is a group of professions working on the constitutional basis of education and training of the official and common education, culture and arts language of the country and it is of vital importance for Turkey. It is, of course, necessary to determine how and to what extent the prospective teachers of this profession are involved in their profession. In this study, the attitudes and competences of the pre-service Turkish teacher about the occupations were tried to be investigated in the sample of 227 students in 4 classes studying in the Turkish Education Department of KTÜ Fatih Education Faculty. For this, a different questionnaire form was developed by taking advantage of the studies of Temizkan (2008) and Acat, Yenilmez (2004). İn this form, students' attitudes and competences are tried not only to be determined by their thoughts and considerations. His tried to be determined by a few questions which would give clues about their knowledge and skills, directly. It has been understood that all the students have a positive attitude towards Turkish teaching and that the students at 1 st grade have less positive attitudes than the other classes, although it is not very meaningful. It has also been determined that the majority of students see KPSS as a priority over all courses, and in particular in the proficiency question of the 4th grade, there may be clues that this examination process adversely affects their proficiency levels. Students' perceptions of their competence may not be sufficient according to the answers they give to the questions to measure knowledge and skills directly, although they often have good or high results. As a result, Turkish teacher candidates are not expressing their positive attitude towards their professions, but they have deficiencies in terms of competence. It is considered that the students' grades and especially the KPSS process effect of being at better level of pre-service Turkish teachers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, it is aimed to find out the perceptions of prospective teachers, who have pedagogic formation education, concerning the notions of school, student, and teaching with the help of metaphors. Therefore, the prospective teachers are asked to produce metaphors for each of these educational notions and then to explain their metaphors. The metaphors that are produced are evaluated using the content analysis method, and their explanations are categorized and commented on according to their similarities in determined themes. The study group consists of 216 prospective teachers who are the students of pedagogical formation program in the Education Faculty of Fırat University in the spring term of 2013-2014 school year. In metaphors about the notion of school, it is stated that school is a place which systematically prepares students for life, and where culture and information are transferred, and that students' potential powers are brought to light in schools. In the views about the notion of student, it is highlighted that students are formed by teachers, that they are hungry for information and are like treasures and ores to be processed; but it is also indicated that these treasures are only reached with the key of interest, compassion, and love. In the views about the notion of teaching, the difficulties of teaching are pointed out. According to the participants, teaching requires big responsibilities and self-sacrifice. In accordance with the understanding of traditional education, teacher candidates believe that a teacher must be formative, a source of information, light, and life for the students, and prepare them to life. This belief shows that the modern understanding of teaching cannot be comprehended by the participants. At the same time, the participants' emphasis on the metaphors such as passion and treasure indicates that the prospective teachers internalize their profession as a divine task and that they have a high level of motivation for teaching. It is deduced from the views of the participants about the notions of school, student, and teaching that the prospective teachers do not prepare themselves with reference to the constructivist education theory and that they contemplate using traditional educational methods when they become teachers. Therefore, it is deduced that the content of the pedagogical formation programs must be restructured in accordance with modern educational understanding, and concentrate on practice, and accelerated applications must be abandoned.
