- MakaleYalnız künye2027Serial mediating role of belonging and state mindfulness in the relationship between clinical learning environment and caring behaviors in nursing students
Özalp, Cemal; Tuncer, Metin; Kaya, Abdulsamed; Şahin, Fatih
Aim: The study aimed to examine the relationship between clinical learning environment and caring behaviors in nursing students and to test the serial mediating roles of belonging and state mindfulness in this relationship. Background: The psychosocial mechanisms linking the clinical learning environment to caring behaviors remain unclear, particularly the combined roles of belonging and state mindfulness. Design: The study had a cross-sectional design and was conducted in line with the STROBE guidelines. Methods: The sample consisted of 452 undergraduate nursing students studying at a state university in Turkiye. The data were collected between December 2025 and January 2026 using the Personal Information Form, Clinical Learning Environment Scale, Nursing Department Belonging Scale, State Mindfulness Scale, and Caring Behaviors Inventory. Results: The clinical learning environment was found to be positively correlated with sense of belonging (B = 0.412, p < .001). Sense of belonging significantly predicted both State Mindfulness (B = 0.607, p < .001) and caring behaviors (B = 0.857, p < .001). State mindfulness is also a significant predictor of caring behaviors (B = 0.734, p < .001). Indirect effects analyses indicated that the clinical learning environment was associated with caring behaviors through sense of belonging and through the sequential pathway involving both sense of belonging and state mindfulness. However, the direct effect of the clinical learning environment on caring behaviors was not significant. Additionally, the indirect effect of the clinical learning environment on caring behaviors through state mindfulness alone was not significant. Conclusions: The results of the study showed that the clinical learning environment is associated with nursing students' caring behaviors indirectly through sense of belonging and state mindfulness, rather than directly.

Karabela, Semsi Nur; Kahraman, Beliz Yekeler; Değirmenci Bingöl, Nurhan; Döğer, Berna Nur Berker
Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic disrupted education and training processes, necessitating a transition to remote learning that significantly altered teaching methods for both students and instructors. To highlight the challenges arising from this rapid shift in applied health sciences, the present study aimed to compare the perceptions of professional competence among First and Emergency Aid students who received online versus hybrid education during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among second-year students at two universities: one providing fully online education (n = 59) and the other offering hybrid instruction (n = 61). Results: No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in understanding theoretical courses (p = 0.088); however, students who received face-to-face instruction within the hybrid model demonstrated significantly better comprehension of practical courses (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion, while online education is adequate for acquiring theoretical knowledge, it is insufficient for developing clinical and technical skills. Accordingly, these findings suggest that practical courses in health education programs, such as First and Emergency Aid, should be conducted face-to-face whenever possible; when in-person attendance is required, appropriate safety measures should be implemented.

- MakaleAçık Erişim2026The relationship between individual learning preferences and academic achievement: A VARK model perspective among physical education and sports teaching students
Bayrakdaroğlu, Yeşim; Türker, Üstün; Ateş, Zeynep Hazal; Demir, Salih
Understanding the relationship between learning styles and academic achievement among students in Physical Education and Sports Teaching programs is crucial for designing more effective and student-centered instructional approaches. Accordingly, the primary aim of this study was to examine pre-service teachers’ individual learning styles and their relationship with academic performance. The study sample consisted of 548 undergraduate students from different year levels. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the VARK Learning Style Inventory (Version 7.0). The collected data were coded and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 27.0). Descriptive statistics were used to determine participants’ demographic characteristics, dominant learning modalities, and learning model types. To examine the relationship between dominant learning styles and academic achievement, chi-square and Linear-by-Linear Association tests were employed. The findings revealed that students predominantly preferred kinesthetic and read/write-oriented learning styles, and a considerable proportion exhibited multimodal learning preferences. Although no direct significant relationship was found between dominant learning styles and academic achievement, the influence of learning models on performance was observed particularly among students with moderate academic achievement levels. In conclusion, while learning styles do not solely determine academic success among pre-service teachers in sports sciences, they appear to be an influential factor in shaping the quality and flexibility of the learning process. Therefore, it is recommended that teaching practices incorporate applied and multidimensional approaches that take students’ individual learning preferences into account.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Future Expectations of Occupational Health and Safety Students: An Analysis Based on Educational and Socioeconomic Variables
Tuna, Hasan; Kaplan, Ahmet
This study examines the future expectations of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) students regarding socioeconomic determinants and the emerging digital competency gap. The sample comprises 359 students selected through convenience sampling using the "Future Expectation Scale." Results indicate students possess moderate future expectations (x̄=2.66); while career optimism is high (x̄=3.93), economic and social outlooks are significantly lower. Notably, students from foundation universities and industrially active regions exhibit significantly higher expectations. These disparities highlight a critical gap in accessing practical training resources. Consequently, the study concludes that traditional educational methods are insufficient to meet modern industry demands. Integrating immersive technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), into OHS curricula is essential to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and Industry 5.0 requirements, enhancing student motivation and career readiness.

Gezgin, Deniz Mertkan; Erdugan, Fuat; Nurlu, Onur; Kedersiz, Sena; Temel, Ahmet
AIlessphobia in education refers to the anxiety, fear, and feeling of inadequacy that students experience when they are unable to access or use artificial intelligence (AI) tools during academic tasks. AIlessphobia in education, which has been proposed as a relatively new psychological concept in educational settings, may be related to students' self-regulation difficulties and procrastination tendencies. In this context, this study examined the relationship between AIlessphobia in education and academic procrastination in students of the Faculty of Sport Sciences. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study and included 313 undergraduate students selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic information form, the AIlessphobia in Education Scale and the Academic Procrastination Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression were used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that AIlessphobia in education and its subdimensions were positively associated with academic procrastination. In the regression model, AIlessphobia in education was significantly associated with academic procrastination and explained 5.2% of the variance. Although the explained variance was small, the findings suggest that higher AIlessphobia in education levels are associated with higher academic procrastination. These findings contribute to the emerging literature on AI-related psychological constructs in education and indicate that academic procrastination may be a significant correlate of AIlessphobia in education among university students.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Ahl al-Sunnat Textbooks Prepared for Primary Education in Iran in the Context of the Reflection of Ideological Discourse in the Curriculum
Demir, Habip
Purpose: This study aims to examine how the official ideological discourse in Iran is produced through the educational curriculum and how Sunni Islam is positioned within this institutional discourse. In this context, our study examines how Sunni Islam is represented in the Ma`& amacr;rif-i Isl & amacr;m & imacr;: V & imacr;je-yi Ahl al-Sunnat textbooks prepared for Sunni students at the primary education level in Iran, and through which discursive strategies this representation is constructed. Considering the determining influence of Twelver Shi'ism- the official sect of the Islamic Republic of Iran-on state institutions and the educational system, the way Sunnism is defined in institutional texts emerges as a significant subject of scholarly inquiry. In this context, the study seeks to demonstrate that sectarian identities are produced not only through doctrinal differences but also through institutional discourse and educational materials. The central research problem of the study is to identify the concepts, historical references, and narratives through which the Sunni sect is represented within Iran's official educational system. Method: The study was designed within the framework of a qualitative research approach. The data source for the study consists of the elective textbooks titled Ma`& amacr;rif-i Isl & amacr;m & imacr;: V & imacr;jeyi Ahl al-Sunnat prepared for Sunni students by the Iranian Ministry of Education as a supplement to the mandatory textbooks for elementary school (grades 2-6) and middle school (grades 7-9). A total of 8 textbooks were subjected to document analysis in this study; the books were examined holistically, and the texts, activities, and visual narratives were evaluated thematically using a discourse analysis approach. Findings: The findings reveal that Sunni identity in the examined textbooks is represented through several recurring thematic frameworks. In sections related to ritual practices, the practices of Sunni legal schools are explained in detail, enabling Sunni students to learn the religious practices associated with their own tradition. At the same time, the selection of historical figures largely avoids controversial personalities that could potentially generate sectarian tensions; instead, the textbooks highlight companions and scholars who are respected to some extent in both Sunni and Shi'i traditions. Furthermore, narratives concerning the Ahl al-Bayt and the event of Karbala are presented both as shared religious references and as significant elements of Shi'i historical discourse. The treatment of concepts such as taqlid, mujtahid, and religious leadership also indicates that these textbooks function not merely as pedagogical materials but as texts that carry ideological meanings associated with the political and ideological discourse of the Iranian state. Conclusion: The study concludes that the textbooks prepared for Sunni students in Iran constitute important institutional texts that demonstrate how sectarian identity is represented at the institutional level. Within these texts, Sunni identity is recognized and made visible to a certain extent; however, it is simultaneously redefined within a discursive framework compatible with the official Shi'i ideological structure. In this regard, the research contributes to the literature in the field of History of Islamic Sects by demonstrating how sectarian identities are produced and represented through educational materials. Moreover, the findings contribute to contemporary discussions on the relationship between sectarian identity and education, while also indicating new directions for future research on similar institutional texts.
