The purpose of the current study is to investigate the distance education given via the Education Information Network platform, TRT EBA-TV and EBA live lesson during the Covid-19 pandemic on the basis of parents' opinions. The current study employing the survey model was conducted with the participation of 709 parents. The research data were collected by an online questionnaire prepared by the researchers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it was determined that during the distance education process, parents ensured that their children followed the lessons and motivated them, and students were eager to participate in the lessons. It was determined that student motivation was negatively affected for reasons such as connection problems and being closed at home during the pandemic. Parents stated that their awareness of their children's education increased and they better understood the value of the teacher and school. It was revealed that there were technical problems in the process but support was received for the problems encountered. Though the parents think that face-to-face education cannot be replaced by distance education, they are of the opinion that distance education was good during the pandemic so that their children did not get alienated from the school.

Teachers are implementers of curriculum and their understanding and application skills are important for educational institutions to achieve their goals. This study aims to examine the curriculum literacy levels of teachers from different levels and branches. In this research, the descriptive survey model, one of the survey models, was used. Curriculum literacy levels of the teachers were determined and levels were compared according to various variables. "Teachers' Program Literacy Scale" was used in the study. The research was carried out with 421 teachers. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis tests were used to analyze the data. The results show that teachers perceive their curriculum literacy competencies at a high level and this perception is high in the knowledge and skills sub-dimensions of the teachers who have a master's / Ph.d. It has been determined that the curriculum literacy levels of the teachers do not cause a significant difference in gender, seniority, level, and graduated faculty

Problem Statement: A number of recent studies on constructivism that have been conducted separately (independently) have arrived at very different results. Throughout the ten-year period in which the constructivist approach has been applied, there have been studies that have researched the effect of the newly-introduced approach on student attitudes towards lessons. In such situations, there exists a pressing need to look at all previous studies so that new studies approach subjects from a more developed and advanced perspective and arrive at more scientifically reliable results. For this reason, there is a critical need for a more comprehensive and detailed approach to the subject under research so as to interpret, contrast, and provide better access for researchers with regard to the studies already conducted on this topic. Meta-analysis has been accepted as a method that helps in this aim. Purpose of Study:The goal of this study is to bring together and contrast independent studies conducted on the effect of the constructivist approach on student attitudes to lessons and to analyze their results.Methods: This research study employs a meta-analysis method. Metaanalysis is defined as the grouping of apparently similar studies conducted on a particular topic according to specific criteria and combining the quantitative findings pertaining to these studies.

ÖZGÜN ARAŞTIRMA/ORIGINAL ARTICLE Öz Türkiye'de akademik yükseltme ve atama süreci yıllar içinde değişiklik göstermekle beraber günümüzde doktora sonrası yapılan akademik yayınlar ve yabancı dil iki önemli yükseltme ve atama kriteridir. Türkiye'de öğretim üyelerinin doçentlik unvanını alma sürecinde birtakım sorunlar yaşadığı ve bu sorunların akademik camiayı çeşitli yönlerden etkilediği bilinmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı öğretim üyelerinin doktora sonrası akademik yükseltme ve atama sürecine yönelik görüşlerini ortaya koymak ve öneriler sunmaktır. Çalışma verileri araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan 10 adet sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış yüz yüze görüşmelerle toplanmıştır. Veriler içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Ayrıca Üniversitelerarası Kurul ile üniversitelerin ilaveten belirledikleri diğer kriterleri de kapsayan 25 maddelik kriter tablosu katılımcılara görüşme öncesinde uygulanmıştır. Bu tabloda katılımcı 18 öğretim üyesi gerekli gördükleri kriterleri işaretlemiştir. Katılımcılar fen, sosyal ve sağlık bilimi alanlarından seçilmiş öğretim üyeleridir. Sonuç olarak öğretim elemanlarının yabancı dil kriterini ve doçentlik sınavını genel itibariyle gerekli gördüğü, mevcut kriterler arasından uluslararası makale, lisans ve lisansüstü ders verme kriterlerinin çok önemli olduğu, mevcut sistemin öğretim elemanlarının davranışlarında ve akademik yayınların niteliğinde belirleyici olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretim üyeleri; yabancı dil sınavının dil seviyesini ölçmediğini, akademik kadroların eşit koşullarda açılmadığını, akademik yayınların niteliği, etik ve bilim insanı olma ile ilgili çeşitli problemler olduğunu ve toplumun bilim adamlarına güvenmediğini açık şekilde ifade etmişlerdir. Tüm bu sonuçlar akademik yükseltme ve atama sürecinin gözden geçirilmesini kaçınılmaz kılmaktadır. Öğretim elemanlarının görüşlerini ele alan bu tür araştırmaların artması, olası düzenlemelere altyapı oluşturması açısından önerilmektedir.
