The purpose of this study was to adapt into Turkish language and to determine the validity and reliability of The Video Engagement Scale (VES) developed by Visser et al. (2016). The original scale was in English, constructed hypothetically as a 5-factor structure, and consisted of 15 items. However, Visser et al. (2016) reported in their study that a 4-factor structure was supported. First of all, we requested a permission from Visser via e-mail to adapt the VES into Turkish. After having this permission, the original scale was translated into Turkish. After the language and content correction process was done, the Turkish version of the VES was administered to 253 ICT teacher candidates from three different universities in Ankara. In this process, the participants firstly watched a 12-minutes long video-case which was taken from an elementary school ICT lesson, then they were administered the VES. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed evidence for a five-factor model. In this sample, internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach's alphas) were 0.57, 0.73, 0.87, 0.78, 0.69 and 0.90 for Factor 1 (Attention), Factor 2 (Going into a narrative world), Factor 3 (Identity), Factor 4 (Empathy), Factor 5 (Emotion), and the entire scale respectively. Finally, it can be concluded that the Turkish version of the VES reliably and validly measures viewers' engagement with video-cases to allow examining the ecological validity of a video-case as an instructional material. In addition, the VES is a suitable scale for measuring video engagement irrespective of the content of teaching or classroom video-cases.
Recently, in order to increase the teachers' professional quality in Turkey, the Ministry of National Education and the Council of Higher Education have collaborated on teachers' professional development. Currently, projects such as "To 2023 with our teachers" are being carried out by the General Directorate of Teacher Training and Development under the Ministry of National Education. In this study, in order to provide guidance to the professional development processes planned in our country, it was aimed to examine the aims, scope, processes, and focuses of 134 research articles in which internationally conducted projects were published in the field of professional development. The qualitative research approach was adopted in the research, it was designed as basic interpretative research and the document analysis was used while collecting data. While the SCOPUS database was searched to determine the data set of the research, articles containing the word "professional development" in their title were determined in four leading journals (Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, European Journal of Teacher Education, Journal of Teacher Education, Teaching and Teacher Education) published in the Social Science Citation Index. According to the results of the research, the most essential point to be considered in professional development research and application processes is related to the process's comprehensiveness and integrity. There is a need to structure professional development processes that take into account new, inclusive, and contextual features. The professional development process has more than one stakeholder such as teachers, school administrators, teacher educators, and students. It is believed that enrichment in terms of working samples in the researches to be carried out in our country will increase the benefit to be obtained from the research and implementation processes.
Eğitim ve öğretim sürecinde istenilen hedeflere ulaşılabilmesi için öğretmenlerin bilgi, beceri ve yeterliklerinin sürekli gözden geçirilmesi ve süreç içinde mesleki gelişimlerinin desteklenmesi oldukça önemlidir. Alanyazında da öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimleri pek çok araştırmaya konu olmuş ve çeşitli boyutları ile ele alınmıştır. Yapılan araştırmada, ülkemizde öğretmen yetiştirme alanında yapılan ve öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimine odaklanan lisansüstü tezler incelenerek öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimlerine yönelik ne tür araştırmaların yapıldığına ilişkin bir çerçeve ortaya konulmak istenmiştir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden temel yorumlayıcı desen kullanılmış ve toplam 98 tez incelenmiştir. Belirlenen lisansüstü tezler; katılımcı türü, araştırma alanı, araştırma süresi, araştırma amacı ve araştırma yöntemi gibi boyutlar temel alınarak incelenmiştir. Ve ardından veriler iki ayrı araştırmacı tarafından kodlanmıştır. Ardından incelenen kodlar arasındaki ilişkileri ve örüntüleri sunmak amacıyla VOSviewer programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, ülkemizdeki lisansüstü tezlerde öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimleri ele alırken çoğunlukla durum tespiti yapmak amacıyla, sınırlı bir hedef kitle ile bir haftadan az sürede gerçekleşen uygulamalarla araştırma süreçleri yapılandırılmıştır. Ve araştırmaların büyük çoğunluğunda veriler süreç başında uygulanan anket ya da ölçekler ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ülkemizde mesleki gelişim araştırmalarındaki sınırlılıkları ortaya koyarken, ilerleyen süreçte öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimlerinin derinlemesine uygulamalar, tekrarlı ve çok boyutlu ölçümler ve süreç tasarımları, tartışmalar, iş-birlikleri, izlemeler, geri bildirimler, destekler, yaygınlaştırmalarla yürütülmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
