    Exploring the Wellbeing of Pre-Service Teachers During Their Practicum
    (2023) Zaimoglu, Senem; Dagtas, Aysun
    Understanding the psychology of pre-service teachers and the factors that affect their well-being have received relatively little attention in the relevant literature. Therefore, the present study seeks to investigate how pre-service teachers perceive their wellbeing during their practicum by collecting data from pre-service teachers via narratives and semi-structured interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the data. The results revealed a number of factors influencing the well-being of pre-service teachers, including motivation, students, their appreciation of the profession, feelings of inadequacy, relationship management, their multiple roles, technical concerns, and future perceptions. The findings highlight how pre-service teachers’ well-being influences their professional practices and provide insights for teacher educators, pupils, and researchers who are concerned with the well-being of pre-service teachers and work in the field of teacher education. Overall, the study sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of pre-service teacher wellbeing during practicum and emphasizes the need for a more holistic approach that considers the various factors that influence pupils' psychological and emotional states.

    The language learning journey of ELT teachers: A narrative approach
    (IGI Global, 2022) Dağtaş, Aysun; Zaimoglu, Senem
    In recent years, language teachers' narratives of their professional and personal experiences have been encouraged in order to understand the complex nature of language education. In a similar vein, it is important for teachers, through narrative inquiry, to be aware of and comprehend their inner world, learning context, and broader sociopolitical context. Founded on this understanding, this chapter examines nine language teachers' retrospective experiences as language learners through narratives based on Barkhuizen's model of narrative approach involving three interconnected levels of stories. There is a brief summary of each level, followed by excerpts from the written narratives. Besides showing a holistic view of language learning and teaching, findings of the study demonstrate that reflecting on their own journey as a language learner helps teachers to make more informed choices and helps to improve their teaching practices. © 2022, IGI Global.

    The Predictors of EFL Students’ International Posture at a University Context
    (2024) Zaimoglu, Senem; Dagtas, Aysun
    This study aimed to look at the uncertainty management and social-emotional competences of students at a university context to see if these are predictors of students’ international posture. The data was collected from a sample of 214 students enrolled in an English Preparatory School at a university context in the spring term of the 2022-2023 academic year through three scales, including Uncertainty Management (UMS), Social-Emotional Foreign Language Learning (SEFLLS), and Students International Posture Scale (IPS). The results yielded that there was a meaningful and positive relationship between the three variables. Moreover, it was shown that 48.3 % of the variability in the students’ international posture variable could be explained by the variables of uncertainty management and social-emotional competences through linear regression. Regarding the path analysis, it was revealed that social-emotional competences could predict the international posture levels of students whereas uncertainty management indirectly affects university students’ sense of international posture through social-emotional competences. The analysis concerning gender revealed that female students’ UM, SEFLL, and IP levels were significantly higher than males. It can be concluded that if institutions empower learners’ social emotional competences and uncertainty management skills, they will be more equipped to flourish in diverse cultures.
