In recent years, some factors such as the number of graduates from the faculties of education is more than that of the positions declared by Ministry of National Education (MoNE); appointment in some branches is limited; candidates should get high scores from the Public Personnel Selection Examination (PPSE, it is known “KPSS” in Turkish) to be appointed, cause increasing prospective teachers’ anxieties and make the PPSE as a hyper important exam. The aim of this study is to examine primary school prospective teachers’ perspectives of the PPSE. The research group involved 108 prospective teachers in the last year of the department of primary school education at a public university in the north of Turkey. There were 78 females and 30 males. Data for this study was collected via a questionnaire in which the items were measured using a five-point Likert-type scale. An exploratory factor analysis was used to convert the numerous variables into limited number of meaningful and independent factors. At the end of this analysis, seven factors were determined. The data collected for the research were analysed with the help of a quantitative software. The arithmetic mean values of the items were calculated and used in the comments. The significant results of the study revealed that the anxiety about not being able to be appointed as a teacher was an important psychological pressure on the prospective teachers. In this context, the lower rate of appointment to a teaching post, the idea of failure in the PPSE, the high sense of responsibility towards their family negatively affected them in the preparation process to the PPSE.

Evaluation of Turkish prospective teachers’ attitudes towards teaching profession (Near East University case)2009 •
One of the important factors that affect a teacher's success and efficiency is his/her attitude towards the profession. For the realization of an efficient / active mother tongue teaching, mother tongue teachers need to have a positive attitude towards he profession. The fundamental objective of this study is to determine the mother tongue (Turkish) prospective teachers’ attitudes towards the teaching profession according to their “genders”, “classes” and “socio-economic” levels, their reasons for choosing this profession, what the problems they may confront when they start the profession are and whether the education they received is sufficient. The study is built with a structure suitable for combined approach where qualitative and quantitative analysis methods will be used together. The study group of the research consists of students (n= 117) that are students at the first, second, third and fourth classes at Near East University Faculty of Education Department of Turkish Language Teaching in 2008-2009 Academic Year Fall Semester and that are selected by use of random sampling method. In order to evaluate prospective teachers’ attitudes towards teaching profession, 5-point Likert-type attitude scale (Cronbach alpha value α=0.95) developed by Çetin in 2006 was used. The qualitative data in the study was collected using four open ended questions. For the analysis of the data, t-test and descriptive analysis methods were used. A significant difference occurred in favor of female prospective teachers in relation to the gender factor. No significant difference between attitude scores was observed in relation to the effects of class and socio-economic level. The majority of prospective teachers chose Turkish language teaching because they love the profession. The prospective teachers’ most important concern about their future is “not being appointed”. The prospective teachers think that there are some deficiencies in the education they receive.

EVALUATION OF TURKISH PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS TEACHING PROFESSION2009 •

This study examined the attitudes of teacher candidates in Turkey towards the teaching profession. Descriptive surveys were used and the research data was obtained from Pamukkale University Classroom Teaching students. During data analysis, the arithmetic means and standard deviations of the groups were calculated and a t-test and One-Way ANOVA were used. The attitudes of teacher candidates towards the teaching profession don’t vary in terms of “gender”, “type of teaching”, “type of high schools they graduate from” and in order of their preferences to be a teacher. More than half of the candidates choose the Classroom Teaching Program willingly and about all of them want to perform this profession, but their attitudes towards the teaching profession were not well developed. The majority of the participants were not satisfied with the University and faculty administrations and reopted that they don’t show enough effort required to develop themselves for the profession. It is found that the attitudes of students expressing their discontent are at a lower level. It is necessary to provide the teacher candidates not only with knowledge and skills, but also to help them develop the beliefs and positive attitudes related to the profession. Cette étude a porté sur les attitudes qu’ont des étudiants au programme de formation à l’enseignement en Turquie envers la profession enseignante. Nous avons effectué des sondages descriptifs auprès d’étudiants au programme de formation à l’enseignement d’enseignement en classe de la Pamukkale University. Pendant l’analyse des données, on a calculé les moyennes arithmétiques et les écarts types des groupes en appliquant un test t et une ANOVA unidirectionnelle. Les attitudes qu’ont les étudiants au programme de formation à l’enseignement envers la profession enseignante ne varient pas en fonction des critères suivants : « genre », « type d’enseignement », « type d’école secondaire fréquentée » et « désir de devenir enseignant ». Plus de la moitié des candidats choisissent de leur plein gré l’enseignement en classe et à peu près tous veulent poursuivre cette profession; pourtant leurs attitudes envers la profession enseignante n’étaient pas bien développées. La majorité des participants n’étaient pas satisfaits de l’université, ni de l’administration et ils ont signalé qu’ils ne démontraient pas suffisamment d’efforts nécessaires pour se développer comme enseignants. On a trouvé que les attitudes des étudiants qui exprimaient leur mécontentement étaient plus négatives. Il est nécessaire de non seulement transmettre aux étudiants au programme de formation à l’enseignement des connaissances et des compétences, mais aussi de les aider à développer des croyances et des attitudes positives par rapport à leur profession.

Medical student misconceptions in cardiovascular physiology2021 •
Students find cardiovascular physiology challenging. Misunderstandings can be due to the nature of the subject, the way it is taught, and prior knowledge, which impede learning of new concepts. Some misunderstood concepts can be corrected with teaching (i.e., preconceptions), whereas others are resistant to instruction (i.e., misconceptions). A set of questions, specifically created by a panel of physiology experts to probe difficult cardiovascular concepts, was used to identify preconceptions, misconceptions, and the effect of education level on question performance. The introductory cardiovascular lecture used in this study was created based on these questions. In-class polling of medical students' (n = 736) performance was performed using the Turning-Point clicker response system during lecture instruction. Results were compared with published data from undergraduates (n = 1,076) who completed the same questions but without prior instruction. To our knowledge, there have been...
