Feelings of language anxiety amongst non-native student teachers

Tum, Danyal Oztas
As rewarding as it may be. the teaching profession also carries with it considerable challenges and responsibilities. The transition from student teacher to teacher is a formidable step for student teachers. As student teachers approach the end of their teacher education programs and they become aware of the responsibilities and expectations of the profession, it is reasonable they feel overwhelmed, question their abilities, and experience feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Such feelings can potentially have adverse effects on student teachers' target language use, pedagogical competence, and overall emotional well-being.

Determining and Evaluating Ideal Physics Teacher s Characteristics
Eryılmaz, Ali (Hacettepe Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi, 1999-01-01)
The main purpose of this studyare; to investigate the characteristics of a prospective physics teacher, to evaluate attitudesof preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher, and to evaluate preservice physics teachers' qualifications. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, literature have been searched in detail. Then, a questionnaire was developed to measure preservice physics teachers qualifications and attimdes of preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher. The Que...

Environmental and Psychosocial Factors Affecting Seat Belt Use Among Turkish Front-Seat Occupants in Ankara: Two Observation Studies
Simsekoglu, Ozlem; Lajunen, Timo (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01)
Objective. Low seat belt use rate among car occupants is one of the main problems contributing to low driver and passenger safety in Turkey, where injury and fatality rates of car occupants are very high in traffic crashes. The present article consists of two observation studies, which were conducted in Ankara. The first study aimed at investigating environmental factors and occupant characteristics affecting seat belt use among front-seat occupants, and the objective of the second study was to investigate ...
Use of the dynamic volume spline method to predict facial soft tissue changes associated with orthognathic surgery
Ulusoy, İlkay; Sabuncuoglu, Fidan; GÖRGÜLÜ, SERKAN; ÜÇOK, CEMİLE ÖZLEM (Elsevier BV, 2010-11-01)
Objective. The shape of the face can be estimated before the surgery by using 3-dimensional computer programs that provide tools to guide skill modifications. The aim of this study was to present the dynamic volume spline method to predict facial soft tissue changes after the modification of the skull associated with orthognathic surgery.
Quantitative Comparison of Approximate Solution Sets for Multicriteria Optimization Problems with Weighted Tchebycheff Preference Function
Bozkurt, Bilge; Fowler, John W.; Gel, Esma S.; Kim, Bosun; Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Wallenius, Jyrki (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2010-05-01)
We consider. the problem of evaluating the quality of solution sets generated by heuristics for multiple-objective combinatorial optimization problems. We extend previous research on the integrated preference functional (IPF), which assigns a scalar value to a given discrete set of nondominated points so that the weighted Tchebycheff function can be used as the underlying implicit value function. This extension is useful because modeling the decision maker's value function with the weighted Tchebycheff func...
