The universe of this research is composed of 35 teachers and 415 students. The source of data has been obtained through two forms of a single questionnaire for the teachers and students which consisted of 46 items. In this research, the data has been analyzed using the technique of independent samples t-test. From their responses to the scales representing the curriculum components such as context, input, process and product, it is concluded that, mostly, teachers and students tend to support all four of these curriculum components. However, according to the findings of the study, significant differences have been observed between the means of teachers' and students' opinions concerning certain items related with the context, input, process and product component of the curriculum. This result indicates that while the students' perceptions are higher, the teachers' expectations are higher for the items regarding the components of the curriculum. According to the findings obtained from teachers' opinions, it is essential that audiovisual materials must be varied and implemented properly in the activities. According to the students' opinions, the students' needs related with their fields and English knowledge necessary for business life must be determined.

A phenomenological approach, with a focus group method was used. The first objective of this study was to evaluate EQ program on the basis of teachers' experiences. The second was to explore the teachers' perceptions about the implications of EQ skills in classroom situations.

Tarama modelinde yürütülen bu araştırmaya, İstanbul ilindeki 19 ilköğretim okulunun beş, altı, yedi ve sekizinci sınıflarına devam eden 2148 (1068 kız, 1080 erkek) öğrenci katılmıştır. "Çocuk ve Ergenler İçin Sosyal Destek Ölçeği (ÇESDÖ)" ile toplanan veriler, Tekrarlı Ölçümler İçin Anova ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin algıladıkları sosyal destek türlerinin sıklık ve önem düzeyi puanlarının, sosyal destek kaynaklarına (aile, öğretmenler, sınıf arkadaşları, yakın arkadaş, okuldaki diğer insanlar) göre anlamlı bir fark gösterdiği bulunmuştur (p<.05). Bu bulgu, destek kaynağının özelliğine (duygusal yakınlık, tutum, rol, statü) göre öğrencilerin tercih ettikleri destek türlerinin farklılaştığını göstermiştir.

Clarifying this process can be used as a method of inquiry. Narratives of experience on both humane and social concerns mesh with the exploration of discursive and cultural contents that are filled with emotional contents. The article offers a theoretical overview on the intercultural and social construction of identity that occurs when people have prolonged contacts with another culture. It shows in what way the processes of acculturation entail identity changes in the course of which one becomes, momentarily, foreign to oneself. Unfolding narratively such identity processes places the participant into an inquiry in which truth telling becomes an educational methodology in the quest for meaning. The reflections in this article are discussed around the frame of educational and curriculum inquiry.

While the scale preparation, by taking advantage of the theoretical information and principles of CIPP Evaluation Model the rough scale composing 65 items was generated and the opinions of the experts were asked for the content and face validity of the scale. Finally, the scale was administered to a large group of students (n=415) from different faculties of Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul. Like the original form, the results of factor analysis indicated that the CIPP Evaluation Model Scale had four factors consisting of context, input, process and product and consisted of 46 items. It was evident from the results that the scale called CIPP Evaluation Scale (CIPP) as a valid and reliable curriculum evaluation instrument can be used in the field of education.

The theoretical framework of SCLE comes from both Dewey's famous expression of 'learning by doing' and Vygotsky's 'zone of proximal development' ideas. SCLE consists of four main stages that include learner analysis, context determination, meaning construction, and learning evaluation. The role of the teacher in SCLE design is to serve as both a facilitator and moderator to the students. In general, SCLE design is effective for students of different grades, based on the results of six different research studies. It has been shown to be effective in the learning processes, ethnocentrism and intercultural approaches, as well as in academic achievement.

The inventory was applied to the subjects of 768 prep students who were enrolled English Prep Classes in seven different universities such as Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul Technical University, Bogazici University, Maltepe University, Bahcesehir University, Istanbul Bilgi University, and Sabanci University, in Istanbul, Turkey. Pearson's correlations between Turkish and English versions of the survey ranging from, except for the items 5., 12. and 29., .38 to .91 among the 6 subscales indicated acceptable reliability. The correlations were significant at the .00 and .01 level. The results of factor analysis for construct validity of the inventory addressed six dimensional constructs with 47 items. The total internal reliability of scale was .92 reliability coefficients. Findings demonstrated that the subscales had internal consistency reliabilities, item total correlation, ranged from .27 to .62. Test re-test reliability for external reliability of subscales was between .67-.82. The results were discussed in terms of the validity and reliability of the Turkish version.
