Article Konuşma Becerisini Değerlendirmeye Yönelik Görev Biçimleri: Yabancılara Türkçe Öğretimi Ders Kitapları Üzerine Karşılaştırmalı Bir İnceleme(2025) Yolcusoy, Ozlem; Çetinkaya, GökhanBu çalışmanın amacı, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde konuşma becerisini değerlendirmeye yönelik görev biçimlerinin dağılımını belirlemek ve bu görev biçimlerinin oranları açısından ders kitapları arasında anlamlı fark olup olmadığını incelemektir. İnceleme nesnesini Yeni Hitit Yabancılar için Türkçe, Yedi İklim Türkçe ve Gazi Yabancılar için Türkçe A1–C1 düzeyi ders kitapları oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma, nicel verilerle desteklenen nitel bir çalışma olarak yapılandırılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak dizgesel belge çözümlemesi kullanılmış; konuşma etkinlikleri 12 görev biçimine göre kodlanmıştır. Veriler yüzde, frekans ve z testiyle çözümlenmiştir. Kodlama sürecinde iki değerlendirici görev almış, uyuşum oranı %91 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular, üç kitapta da soru-yanıt ve karşılıklı konuşma görev biçimlerinin baskın olduğunu; tartışma, sunum yapma ve canlandırma gibi üst düzey görevlerin sınırlı yer tuttuğunu göstermektedir. Z testi sonuçları, özellikle soru-yanıt ve tartışma görevlerinde anlamlı fark bulunduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Çalışma, görev çeşitliliğinin sınırlı kaldığını ve iletişimsel yeterliği geliştirmeye dönük olanakların tam olarak kullanılmadığını göstermektedir.Book Part Algorithmic Bias in Generative AI: Implications for Critical Pedagogy, Inclusivity, and Equity in Education(IGI Global, 2025-08-01) F., Nayır; T., SarıThis chapter examines the implications of algorithmic bias in generative AI for critical pedagogy, inclusion, and equity in education. This chapter explores how generative AI tools, increasingly prevalent in educational settings, can perpetuate cultural, gender, racial, socioeconomic, and accessibility biases due to skewed educational data and design choices. Through a critical pedagogy lens, they highlight the risks of reinforcing systemic inequalities and marginalizing diverse learners, drawing on real-world examples and theoretical frameworks from scholars such as Freire and Noble. The chapter suggests actionable strategies for reducing bias and aligning AI with educational justice, such as diversifying data sources, encouraging inclusive development teams, ensuring transparency, and implementing ongoing audits. The chapter concludes with a call for educators, policymakers, and technologists to collaboratively reimagine AI as an equitable learning tool, as well as directions for future research. © 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Therefore, their role for the achievement of SDGs cannot be disregarded. This study examines how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are integrated into the strategic frameworks of the top 200 universities in THE ranking. The thematic analysis, based on Times Higher Education (THE) and Shanghai rankings, shows that universities' commitment to the SDGs has changed. Particularly, SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) are often highlighted, while some SDGs, such as SDG 14 (Life Below Water), are given less attention. Although university ranking systems incentivize efforts towards the SDGs, they run the risk of focusing solely on ranking metrics. The study provides important information for the development of sustainability policies of higher education institutions. © 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

This chapter examines how these global trends intersect with local contexts and produce unique opportunities and challenges in educational policy and reform. It traces the impact of historical legacies, such as colonialism and postcolonial nation-building, on modern education systems. Key themes are the conflict between global forces and national identity, the governance function in policy delivery, and how political instability affects education systems. This chapter also addresses strategies for facilitating inclusive and equitable education, noting the importance of culturally responsive leadership and community engagement. By the intersection of theoretical insights and empirical studies, this analysis provides an inside perspective of the forces that are shaping education within the MENA region.

It reflects a broad spectrum of political, socio-economic, cultural, and governance contexts, shedding light on both shared trends and region-specific divergences. MENA region contributors provide insights on how educational leaders and administrators address sociopolitical challenges while upholding a commitment to principles of social justice, equity, and political inclusion. The chapters explore the influence of recent political upheavals on local educational leadership and governance, presenting lessons learned in relation to geographic and culturally specific policymaking, reform strategies, and systemic transformation. This book also examines how political and socio-economic conditions affect educational reforms at national and subnational levels, recognizing how school leaders, parents, communities, and policymakers collectively shape innovation and meaningful change initiatives. This book will be of particular interest to academics, postgraduate students, and researchers in the fields of educational leadership, administration, policy, and reform. It will also serve as a valuable resource for policymakers and education professionals engaged in leading and managing change in complex educational environments. © 2026 selection and editorial matter, Khalid Arar, Selahattin Turan, Mohammed Elmeski, and Seher İşcan; individual chapters, the contributors..Book Part Educational Policy, Reforms, and Change in the Middle East and North Africa: Takeaways and Prospects(Taylor and Francis, 2025-09-30) K., Arar; S., Turan; Elmeski M., Sr.; S., İşcanIn our introductory chapter, we briefly discussed education policy and reform efforts and new approaches in education in the MENA region. We noted that educational policy and reform efforts in these regions have a highly complex nature and that education policy and reform efforts are influenced by social, political, and economic contexts and arrangements. The unique cultural heritage, richness, and context of Middle Eastern and North African countries deeply affect and shape education reform and policy efforts. In the last two decades, education policy reform efforts, along with the scientific knowledge and projects produced in this context, have reached a certain level, benefiting from similar international works and projects and engaging in universal efforts for educational reform and restructuring. The efforts to create a more democratic, open, and transparent society and to ensure that all people in the region receive “quality education” should be acknowledged. © 2026 selection and editorial matter, Khalid Arar, Selahattin Turan, Mohammed Elmeski, and Seher İşcan; individual chapters, the contributors..Book Eco-Concepts: Critical Reflections in Emerging Ecocritical Theory and Ecological Thought(Bloomsbury Publishing Plc., 2024) Tan, C.; Altaç, İ.S.Eco-Concepts: Critical Reflections in Emerging Ecocritical Theory and Ecological Thought offers an intellectual journey through the ever-evolving landscapes of environmental discourse.

The participants were five beginning English teachers who started to teach English in Spain and Poland after graduation. The study adopted a qualitative approach and was implemented as a descriptive narrative study. The data were collected via semistructured interviews and analyzed according to the steps of conventional content analysis. The participants were held online semi-structured interviews before, during, and after their traineeship program to offer a comprehensive picture about their experiences in the whole process. It was found that the traineeship program offered various contributions in terms of teaching skills, intercultural communication, and linguistic skills; however, the participants also touched upon several factors that still need improvement. In light of the participants' experiences and self-reported teaching practices within the traineeship program, relevant professional implications are discussed. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
