Change is inevitable in all evolving societies. Thus, it is accepted as a fact of life. The shutdown during the pandemic imposed by the coronavirus has been one of the latest changes that have impacted the whole world. This situation, of course, influenced the educational system. In line with the recent situations, this study examined teachers' commitment to the educational change they experienced during the pandemic and examined whether the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction (IMBP) predicts teachers' commitment to change. A correlational research design was used to examine this. The sample consists of 642 individuals who are teachers in public schools at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The data was gathered using the convenience sampling approach using an online scale on social media. The collected data were analyzed utilizing hierarchical multiple regression. All three IMBP dimensions, attitude, perceived norm, and self-efficacy, have a relationship with the three dimensions of commitment to change; affective, normative, and continuance. The highest correlation is found between attitude, which is a dimension of IMBP, and affective commitment to change, which is a dimension of commitment to change. According to the findings, teachers' commitment to educational change is determined by their attitudes towards change, the norms they perceive during change, and their change self-efficacy.

The impact of globalization on urban areas requires a special emphasis. Economic development has played a significant role in restructuring the city. Particularly following the 1970s, with the changes in the international economic system, the world has started to transform into a gl...
THE MEDIATING ROLE OF TEACHER AGENCY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB SATISFACTION AND READINESS FOR CHANGE AMONG PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS Ersöz, Anıl; Kondakçı, Yaşar; Department of Educational Sciences (2021-9-30) Readiness for change is vital for the success of any educational change initiative, and that is why there has been an increasing interest in the antecedents of readiness for change. However, there is a limited body of empirical research that sheds light on the role of teacher agency on readiness for change. Moreover, the influence of job satisfaction on readiness for change has remained unclear. Therefore, this study set out to investigate whether teacher agency mediates the relationship between job satisfa...
Prioritization and selection of climate change adaptation measures: a review of the literature Dogulu, Nilay; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2015-07-03) Adaptation to climate change is key to reduce associated risks and develop climate resilient communities.

Sensors in Assisted Living A survey of signal and image processing methods Erden, Fatih; Velipasalar, Senem; ALKAR, ALİ ZİYA; ÇETİN, AHMET ENİS (2016-03-01) Our society will face a notable demographic shift in the near future. According to a United Nations report, the ratio of the elderly population (aged 60 years or older) to the overall population increased from 9.2% in 1990 to 11.7% in 2013 and is expected to reach 21.1% by 2050 [1]. According to the same report, 40% of older people live independently in their own homes. This ratio is about 75% in the developed countries. These facts will result in many societal challenges as well as changes in the health-ca...
A model for pre-service teachers' climate change awareness and willingness to act for pro-climate change friendly behavior: adaptation of awareness to climate change questionnaire Dal, Burçkin; Alper, Umut; Ozdem-Yilmaz, Yasemin; Ozturk, Nilay; SÖNMEZ, DUYGU (2015-01-01) Public awareness of the negative effects of climate change is vital since it leads to collective action for prevention and adaptation. However, investigations on to what extent people are aware of the climate change issue are rare in the literature. The present study reported the adaptation process of awareness to climate change questionnaire into Turkish, and tested the conceptual model of willingness to act for pro-climate change friendly behavior in Turkish context.
