Examination of relation between personality types and demographic properties of academic staff
Universities are top institutions among education organizations. The personality types of academicians employed in these organizations are very important in terms of their own development and the development of the students they educate. The aim of this study is to examine the relation between personality types of academic staff and gender, mother education level and father education level variables. The research model is relational scanning. While determining the research group, teleological sampling method was selected among non-random sampling methods. The research was conducted through data obtained from 67 academic staff employed in different universities of Turkey during 2011-2012 academic year. As data collection tool, “Holland vocational preference inventory” and “personal information form” were used. Chi square (x2) test was performed in order to determine whether personality types of academic staff vary according to gender, mother education level and father education level.It was observed that the personality types of academic staff do not demonstrate significant difference according to gender. (x2= 1.01 and p>0.05) It was found that personality types of academic staff have a significant relation with mother education level (x2 = 9.29 and p<0.05) and father education level. (x2 = 9.79 and p<0.05) In line with the research findings, it was noted that academic staff has a social personality type containing helpfulness, social cooperation, sincerity, patience and similar properties. The relation of academic staff personality types with mother and father education levels emphasize the importance of parent education in determination of preferences and interests. Related with determination of academic staff personality types, their relation with variables such as attitude towards profession, academic success and so on can also be checked.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON VALUE RANKING OF THE TURKISH TEACHING DEPARTMENT STUDENTS IN TWO UNIVERSITIES
Value is a subjective concept that answers the private reasons of making choices of individuals between the various alternatives in their lives. In this study, determining of two universities's female and male students's value understandings is aimed. This study is limited by 294 students who received education on "Turkish Teaching" at University of Marmara in Istanbul and University of East Mediterranean in Northern Cyprus. Descriptive model is preferred as method in this research. Rokeach Values Survey was used to collect the data in the study. The Rokeach values Survey is a 36 item questionnaire that was designed to measure specific belief systems or value orientations which relate to 18 end states of existence (terminal values) followed by 18 modes of conduct (instrumental values). Terminal values are family security, a world at peace, wisdom, salvation, a sense of accomplishment, inner harmony, social recognition, freedom, a world of beauty, true friendship, pleasure, self respect, national security, health, equality, mature love, a comfortable life, an exciting life. Instrumental values are ambitious, independent, intellectual, courageous, forgiving, honest, loving, broad-minded, self-controlled, obedient, logical. polite, responsible, capable, clean, helpful loyal and imaginative. In addition, semi-standardized interview form was applied to students. The data of research was compared as values analysis between Marmara University and Eastern Mediterranean University. The results according to the data of this research are both of university's students accept "family security", "a world of peace" and "wisdom" as important guiding principles in their life. Students who received education at Marmara University give importance "salvation" than students who received education at East Mediterranean University. Students who received education at Marmara University give importance "social recognition" than students who received education at East Mediterranean University. Students who received education at East Mediterranean University give importance "equality" than students who received education at Marmara University. Students who received education at Marmara University give importance "nationality security" than students who received education at East Mediterranean University. When they were compared as instrumental values, both of university students were shown different attitudes at all the items. This study may provide us with information about the value ranking and systems of students receiving teaching education at the Eastern Mediterranean and Marmara Universities. We can acquire an opinion about the values of the prospective teachers in general from the results of this study. The results obtained from this study have high importance, which should be taken into consideration by educationalists and administrators.

Problem Statement: A behavior is only a conclusion of the values which we can easily see. So teaching attitudes of the teachers are affected by their values. The study of values therefore is fundamental to the study of teaching. If we can understand the values of the teachers we are able to estimate possible teaching behaviors of the teacher candidates. Then we can find which values of the students are barriers against their teaching abilities or not. Before graduating we can influence them by teaching them. We must try to change their values which are barriers to their teaching abilities and must support them about the values that will help them to teach. Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study is to explore the terminal and instrumental values that contribute to the formation of value types of teacher candidates. Method: To measure the values of the teacher students, the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) was used. The population of this study includes 4856 students who attended the different departments of faculty of education. The data were collected from 498 students who were selected by a stratified random sampling technique. Questions guiding the study were: (1) What are the values of the education faculty students as future school teachers? (2) Are there any significant value differences between students who belong to various departments of the faculty? (3) Are the values affected by specific variables such as gender? Findings: Results indicated that 48% of female teacher candidates (156) and 41% of male teacher candidates (71) ranked family security terminal value as a supreme importance that guides their lives. When the teacher candidates are in their first three years of school, their first rank value preferences tend to be conservative values. However, when they reach the fourth class, their first rank value priorities shift to universal value type. All students except social sciences students preferred conservative values as primary values that direct their behaviors. Conclusion and Recommendations: According to the findings, both female and male students put conservative higher order value types. When they reach their fourth year, their first rank value priorities shift to universal value type. Students who are studying in the department of social sciences primarily preferred a universal value called “a world at peace.” It is necessary to develop universal values for teacher candidates’.

In this article's scientific space, one can observe the differentiation of the definition of the terms "value", "value orientations" because it does not yet have a clear standard definition. Many researchers have dealt with this topic, researched, analyzed, observed, and made conclusions. However, there is still a rich scope for research of such phenomena of personal structure as value orientations. Outstanding psychologists-researchers who, in their scientific, practical, and theoretical works, dealt with the topic of values and value orientations and came to the general conclusion that values are a structural component of a personality, with the help of which a person achieves a goal, sets this goal, and characterizes position in life. The article saw the relationship between values and the basic structures of the personality, including value orientationsconsidered in values a system of orientation and personality attitudes.
