The main goal of this research is to develop a measurement tool that will determine the beliefs that guide school administrators' practices based on X and Y theory and the relationships between of level of these beliefs and other variables that school administrators use in management practices. The theory was tested with the scale developed in the research. Furthermore, the levels of school administrators' beliefs, which are assumed to guide their practices based on X and Y theory, were revealed in the research using data obtained during the scale development study; it was determined whether the demographic variables of school administrators differed according to the subscale (X and Y subscale) scores. Relational and causal comparison strategies were used in this quantitatively constructed investigation. Research data were collected from three sample groups in the Erzurum sample. It has been determined that there is a significant difference in the X theory subscale score in favour of school administrators working in primary schools. The study concluded that, based on X-Y theory, the assumptions of school administrators that shape management practices could be determined by the School Administrators' Beliefs in the Nature of Human Scale.

The aim of this research is to reveal the cognitive constructs of university students regarding their ideal peer qualities. As the research has both qualitative and quantitative dimensions, the study was carried out in accordance with the exploratory sequential design, which is a type of mixed method. The research was conducted with 24 university students studying at different faculties of Atatürk University in the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The study group was formed in accordance with the maximum diversity principle with the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. The repertory grid technique was used in this study. The repertoire grid form applied to the participants was analyzed and 240 cognitive constructs related to ideal peer qualities were produced by the participants. Based on 240 cognitive constructs, the main construct groups are listed as humanistic values, ethical attitudes and behaviors, discipline/rationalism, communication skills, social skills, extroversion, and leadership according to qualified number.

The purpose of this research is to determine the motivation factors of teacher candidates regarding the teaching profession. For this purpose, this study was designed with a cross-sectional scanning model, since the data collection process was carried out in one go. The research was designed with phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs. The study group consists of 20 teacher candidates studying in various departments of Atatürk University Kazim Karabekir Faculty of Education in the 2021-2022 academic year. The data obtained with the semi-structured interview form were analyzed with the help of content analysis. According to the results of the research, teacher candidates are more positively motivated by internal factors related to the teaching profession. Almost all of the negative motivational factors are exogenous. It is seen that these motivational factors affect the attitudes and perceptions of teacher candidates towards their profession. It can be ensured that competent teachers who are motivated by their work can be trained by increasing the motivational elements that are seen as positive by the novice teachers and by reducing the elements that are seen as negative. In this way, significant gains can be achieved at the point of achieving educational goals.

The primary goal of this research is to investigate the approximate numerical solution of variational inequalities using quasimonotone operators in infinite-dimensional real Hilbert spaces. In this study, the sequence obtained by the proposed iterative technique for solving quasimonotone variational inequalities converges strongly toward a solution due to the viscosity-type iterative scheme. Furthermore, a new technique is proposed that uses an inertial mechanism to obtain strong convergence iteratively without the requirement for a hybrid version. The fundamental benefit of the suggested iterative strategy is that it substitutes a monotone and non-monotone step size rule based on mapping (operator) information for its Lipschitz constant or another line search method. This article also provides a numerical example to demonstrate how each method works.

Human resources are frequently emphasized as being critical to the school social system's survival. This study examined the effects of teachers' negative attitudes toward the organization for which they work at the level of school effectiveness. The study sought to determine how negative attitudes of secondary school teachers toward their schools harmed school effectiveness in one of Turkey's eastern provinces. The analyses revealed that organizational cynicism may reduce perceived school effectiveness by reducing teachers' participation in school decision-making. In terms of understanding how the negative effects of organizational cynicism on school effectiveness occur, the findings of this study had a wide range of implications in research, practice, and policy.

In this paper, we first introduced a new class of generalized non-expansive mappings, which was larger than the class satisfying the condition Bγ,μ. Also, we proposed a new iterative process to approximate the fixed point of the mapping we introduced in this work, then we prove convergence theorems for these mappings by using our iteration process. Lastly, a numerical example was given to show the efficiency of this new iteration process. Our results were the extension and generalization of many known results in the literature in fixed point theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The fundamental goal of our paper is to study θ-convex contractive mappings in metric spaces. We demonstrate some fixed point results for such mappings. Also, we give an application to integral equations of our results. Consequently, our results encompass numerous generalizations of the Banach contraction principle on metric space.

In this study, we express the concept of Mb-metric space, which is a combination of M -metric space and b-metric spaces, and this space is the generalization of both spaces. We present some interpolative type contraction mappings and prove fixed point theorems in such spaces. Finally, we give some examples for such mappings and spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we firstly introduce definition of weak interpolative Hardy-Rogers type contractions and we give an example for a class of this mappings.
