The study aimed to investigate the structural relationships among career influences (career decision making self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy, parental support, teacher support, friend support, negative social events, ethnic-gender expectations), career exploration (self-exploration, environmental exploration, intended-systematic exploration) and career indecision by testing a structural model based on Systems Theory Framework. This study also aimed to adapt the Career Influence Inventory (CII) and Career Exploration Survey (CES) into Turkish and investigate the psychometric properties of the CII and CES. The results have verified adequate psychometric properties of the Turkish CES and CII. 836 university students participated in the main study. The Career Decision Scale, CII, Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, CES and Demographic Information Form were used as data collection instruments. The data were analyzed by using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that career decision making self-efficacy, ethnic-gender expectations, selfexploration and environmental exploration had direct effects on career indecision. Academic self-efficacy, teacher support, friend support, parental support, negative social events and intended-systematic exploration had no direct effects on career indecision of university students. Additionally, the indirect associations between career decision making self-efficacy and career indecision were provided by the mediator roles of self-exploration and environmental exploration. The results indicated that academic self-efficacy had an effect on career indecision through the indirect effect of self-exploration. Parental support predicted career indecision through the indirect effect of environmental exploration. Findings were discussed by taking into consideration of relevant literature. Implications for practice and recommendations for further studies, practitioners, and policymakers were presented.

The Impact of Experiences on Preservice Science Teachers' Self-Efficacy in Teaching Science Concepts in the Context of Socioscientific Issues
Bostancı, Burcu; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2022-9-01)
This study aims to explore the impact of experiences on preservice science teachers' self-efficacy in teaching science concepts in the context of socioscientific issues (SSI). The research employed a mixed-method design, where qualitative data were collected to supplement quantitative findings. The SSI-related self-efficacy beliefs scale and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 38 senior preservice science teachers pursuing their education in a public university in Turkey. The findings ...
Testing a model of career indecision among university students based on social cognitive career theory
Büyükgöze Kavas, Ayşenur; Güneri, Oya; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
The aim of the current study is to investigate the some potential factors that contribute to career indecision of university students. In accordance with that, a mediational causal model based on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) was proposed to test; a) the direct and indirect relationships of locus of control, perceived parental attitudes, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career outcome expectations with career indecision and b) to what extend the combination of these variables explain career...
The Role of Student Related Characteristics in Nature of Science Views
Ebren Kuyumcu, Ebru; Sungur, Semra (2022-02-01)
The present study investigated middle school students’ views on the nature of science (NOS) in relation to gender, grade level, and learning environment perceptions adopting a cross-sectional and correlational research design. A total of 608 middle school students (319 girls and 289 boys) attending Grade 7 (n = 286) and Grade 8 (n = 322) participated in the study. Students’ NOS views were examined in terms of Theory-laden /Cultural impacts, Changing/tentative nature, Non-objective nature, and Creative natur...
The Relationship between Environmental Moral Reasoning and Environmental Attitudes of Pre-Service Science Teachers
Tuncay Yüksel, Büşra; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Teksöz, Gaye (2011-01-01)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between environmental moral reasoning patterns and environmental attitudes of 120 pre-service science teachers. Content analysis was carried out on participants’ written statements regarding their concerns about the presented environmental problems and the statements were labeled as ecocentric, anthropocentric, and non-environmental according to their meanings. Then, descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted on the calculated frequen...
The relationship between pre-service early childhood teachers' environmental education self-efficacy beliefs and tehir attitudes towards sustainable environment
Gülçiçek, Turan; Olgan, Refika (null; 2018-09-07)
Environmental education is one of the fields becoming popular in early childhood education since this period is a basis for all developmental areas and it provides a lifelong learning which results in attitudes, behaviors and skills promoting sustainable development (Pearson & Degotardi, 2009; Ernst & Tornabene, 2012). Unfortunately, the time that children spend playing and interacting with nature declines steadily due to teachers’ inadequate experiences in nature (Crim, Desjean-Perrotta, & Moseley, 2008). ...
