    Connecting Attitudes Toward Teaching and Pedagogical Formation Courses: A Study of Turkish Pre-service Teachers
    (Edith Cowan Univ, 2015) Parylo, Oksana; Süngü, Hilmi; Ilgan, Abdurrahman
    This quantitative study aimed to examine (1) the pre-service teachers' attitudes toward the teaching profession and (2) whether their attitudes are impacted by the pedagogical formation courses that are part of teacher preparation. The findings of the pre-test showed that participants had positive attitudes toward teaching as a profession. However, the examination of the difference between the pre-service teachers' attitudes towards teaching profession based on before and after taking pedagogical formation courses revealed no statistically significant differences in the participants' responses. The results of this analysis contribute to better understanding of Turkish teacher candidates' attitudes toward the teaching profession and call for further examination of this topic using a national sample to guide country-wide educational policy changes.

    Teachers' psychological well-being: a comparison among teachers in USA, Turkey and Pakistan
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Özü, Öykü; Zepeda, Sally; Ilgan, Abdurrahman; Jimenez, Albert M.; Ata, Atakan; Akram, Muhammed
    Assessing teachers' psychological well-being (PWB) is the first step in protecting teacher's mental health and providing them an environment that helps flourish their professional and personal development. It is also crucial for good teacher-student interactions, which in turn, may affect student self-efficacy, social abilities, and even mental health. However, research about the subject is limited in the literature, and it lacks comparison of the levels of PWB among teachers from different countries. This study has primarily focused on the variations in teachers' PWB from three different countries: U.S.A., Turkey, and Pakistan. In total, 403 teachers from U.S.A., 990 teachers from Turkey, and 715 from Pakistan completed the survey that contained demographic questions and the PWB scale. Results indicated that the U.S. sample had the highest PWB means followed by teachers in Turkey and in Pakistan, respectively. Results are discussed in light of the literature and implications are presented.
