The main idea behind this research is to determine prospective teachers’ educational beliefs and their views about critical pedagogy. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between prospective teachers’ educational beliefs and their views about critical pedagogy. In this study, “Educational Beliefs Scale” is used with the “Principals of Critical Pedagogy Scale”. Based on the Educational Beliefs Scale, five theories on educational philosophy including: Perennialism, Essentialism, Progressivism, Reconstructionism, and Existentialism are examined. Besides Education System, Functions of School and the Emancipator School dimensions of the Principals of Critical Pedagogy Scale are analyzed. The research is conducted as a survey model study. The sample of the research comprises of 452 last grade undergraduate students from the different departments of Faculty of Education in Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Momentum Correlation was applied to the data.

ÖZAmaç: Bu deneysel çalışmada, doğal bir flavonoid olan hesperetinin sıçanlarda lipopolisakkarit uyarımlı akut akciğer hasar modeli üzerindeki etkileri incelendi. Ça lış m a pl a nı:Mart 2019 -Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında ağırlıkları yaklaşık 250-300 g olan toplam 18 erişkin erkek Wistar albino sıçan, kontrol, lipopolisakkarit ve lipopolisakkarit + hesperetin grubu olmak üzere rastgele üç gruba ayrıldı (her grupta n= 6). Akciğer dokusunda ıslak/kuru ağırlık oranı belirlendi. Histopatolojik değişiklikler ışık ve elektron mikroskobu ile incelendi. Pulmoner nükleer faktör-kappa beta, indüklenebilir nitrik oksit sentaz ve alfa-düz kas antijeni indirekt immünohistokimyasal yöntem ile belirlendi. Pulmoner apoptoz, terminal deoksinükleotidil transferaz dUTP çentik uç işaretleme yöntemi ile belirlendi. Tümör nekroz faktör-alfa, interlökin-1 beta, interlökin-6 ve interlökin-10 konsantrasyonları enzim bağlı immunosorbent testi ile belirlendi. Bul gu lar:Hesperetin tedavisi akciğer doku mimarisini anlamlı düzeyde iyileştirdi ve ıslak/kuru ağırlık oranı, nükleer faktör-kappa beta, indüklenebilir nitrik oksit sentaz ve alfa-düz kas antijeni ekspresyonu, pulmoner apoptoz ve proinflamatuvar sitokin düzeylerini azalttı.So nuç: Çalışma sonuçlarımız, hesperetinin sıçanlarda proinflamatuvar sitokin kaskadı, nükleer faktör-kappa beta sinyal yolağı aktivasyonu ve apoptozun baskılanması ile lipopolisakkarit uyarımlı akut akciğer hasarına karşı güçlü bir koruyucu etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.Anah tar söz cük ler: Akut akciğer hasarı, indüklenebilir nitrik oksit sentaz, lipopolisakkarit, nükleer faktör-kappa beta, pulmoner apoptoz, tümör nekroz faktör-alfa. ABSTRACTBackground: In this experimental study, we aimed to investigate the effects of hesperetin, a natural flavonoid, on a lipopolysaccharideinduced acute lung injury model in rats. Methods:Between March 2019 and May 2019, a total of 18 adult male Wistar albino rats, weighing approximately 250 to 300 g, were randomly divided into three groups as control, lipopolysaccharide, and lipopolysaccharide + hesperetin groups (n=6 in each group). The wet/dry weight ratio of lung tissue was determined. Histopathological changes were examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. Pulmonary nuclear factor-kappa beta, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and alpha-smooth muscle antigen activity were determined with indirect immunohistochemical methods. Pulmonary apoptosis was detected with the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling method. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 concentrations were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: Treatment with hesperetin significantly improved the architecture of lung tissue and reduced the wet/dry weight ratio, nuclear factor-kappa beta, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and alphasmooth muscle antigen expression, pulmonary apoptosis, and levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Conclusion:Our study results suggest that hesperetin has a potent protective effect aga...

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between college students' level of cognitive distortions, resilience and emotional self-efficacy. In addition, how sex and gender roles affect interpersonal cognitive distortions, emotional self-efficacy beliefs and endurance is examined. This study was conducted with 346 university students. In this study, Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale, Resilience Scale III-R, Self-Efficacy Scale, and Sex Role Inventory were administered to the participants. The results indicated that there was a negative correlation between interpersonal cognitive distortions, self-efficacy and psychological resilience. On the other hand, there was a positive correlation between psychological resilience and self-efficacy. Significant differences were found between gender roles and interpersonal cognitive distortions. In line with this, significant differences were found between gender roles and psychological resilience. However, there was no significant relation between sex and interpersonal cognitive distortions. Furthermore, the correlation between sex and psychological resilience is not significant. Additionally, self-efficacy and sex has no a significant relation, but has a significant relation with gender roles. Lastly, there was a significant relation between interpersonal cognitive distortions and gender roles.

Acceptance of children with special needs is very important in terms of achieving a successful inclusion. Children's acceptance should be assessed in order to see their needs and develop effective interventions in the inclusive settings. A total of 161 children between 4 and 7 years old were participated in the study. The children's acceptance levels were examined using the "Acceptance Scale for Kindergartners-Revised" (ASK-R). The results revealed that the children in Turkey had low acceptance levels. It was found that the gender, age, and income level were effective on the children's acceptance levels whereas the parents' education level and having a classmate with special needs did not significantly affect the acceptance.

Problem Statement: Future Anxiety (FA) and Trait Anxiety (TA) have negative effects on individuals' productivity, which can lead them to feelings of insecurity and eventually depression. Knowing more about future anxiety helps people feel more secure and produce more effectively for themselves, and eventually for society. This research examined the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT)-based training program on FA and TA.* This present study was presented as an oral presentation at the 3 rd International Eurasian Educational Research Congress held between the 1 st and the 3 rd of June,
