Educational paradigms have rapidly changed depending on novel facilities and needs relevant to technology-enhanced learning environments. In this regard, Self-regulated learning skills (SRL) are one of the significant skills that are argued to be gained in 21st-century for higher education students. This study explores Self-Regulated Learning skills and self-efficacy within the context of educational workshops, which are designed and developed following the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model, conducted at the Center for Innovative Learning and Teaching, Artificial Intelligence (CILT-AI) at a foundation university. Furthermore, it was grounded in Bandura’s social-cognitive theory, which emphasizes the primary role of self-efficacy in academic achievement, the study seeks to distinguish the design elements and practical strategies essential for developing self-efficacy among students. In this study, a design-based research methodology is followed, and it integrates insights from literature review, expert opinions, and student feedback to design and implement effective training programs. The workshops target not only to develop participants’ academic achievement by leading developed SRL and self-efficacy skills but also to contribute to the broader discourse in educational research. By bridging theory and practice, the study provides actionable insights for educators and researchers to foster self-efficacy involved in self-regulated learning in today’s dynamic technology-enhanced educational realm.

Multidimensional meaning in life: Turkish validation of the 3DM using a bifactor model
(Cyprus Mental Health Institute, 2024) Subaşı, Mustafa; Bulut, Sefa; Karaman, Hakan; Osin, Evgeny N.; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Recent research highlights the importance of multidimensional measurement in assessing meaning in life. The Three Dimensional Meaning in Life Scale (3DM) is a self-report measure based on a tripartite framework including significance, coherence, and purpose. The present study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the 3DM. The first-order confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the Turkish version replicated the original three-factor structure of the 3DM. The model showed a good fit to the present data. The bifactor model of the 3DM supported a multidimensional structure of meaning in life, and measurement invariance indices demonstrated consistent psychometric properties across gender groups. The 3DM subscales had good reliability, with strong item-total correlations ranging from .47 to .76. They had significant positive associations with meaning in life and well-being indicators. The results provided evidence for the structural and convergent validity of the 3DM. Overall, the Turkish 3DM is a valid and reliable measure.

(Progedit, 2024) Ritella, Giuseppe; Crescenzo, Pietro; Bulut, Sefa; Sansone, Nadia; Annese, Susanna; Ligorio, Maria Beatrice; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
The main aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between the use of Educational Technology (ET), the development of Burnout Syndrome (BOS), the teachers’ Emotional Styles (ES), and their biographies. A non-probabilistic convenience sample of 379 teachers completed an online survey on the three dimensions above mentioned. Descriptive statistics together with the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and linear regression models were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that 2.6% teachers are at risk for BOS while use of ET had no impact on BOS. Certain biographical dimensions and ESs predicted teachers’ ET use. Based on the analysis, the authors conclude that studying how emotional and personal aspects influence the relationship between teachers and technologies can be useful to prepare teachers for innovating their practice.
Arabic validation of the Three-Dimensional Meaning in life (3DM) scale: A bifactor model approach
(Walisongo, 2024) Elwakeel, Sayed Ahmed; Subaşı, Mustafa; Al-Hendawi, Maha; Bulut, Sefa; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Recent research provides support for the tripartite framework of meaning in life (MIL). The Three Dimensional Meaning in Life (3DM) Scale is a self-report instrument based on the tripartite framework including coherence, purpose, and significance. The present research tested the psychometric properties of the 3DM with Arabic-speaking adults. This cross-sectional study recruited a total of 516 (428 female) participants in the study through online (e.g., social media) and offline (e.g., contacting academicians at different universities in Egypt) data collection. The confirmatory factor analysis replicated the original three-factor solution to the 3DM. The factor loadings of the three-factor model from .61 to .92. The 3DM subscales had good internal consistency scores ranging from .78 to .85. The bifactor model of the Arabic 3DM did not evidence the unidimensional measurement of the 3DM. The findings demonstrate that the Arabic 3DM is a valid and reliable measure. Future research should examine different types of validity and temporal stability of the 3DM, cultural dimensions on MiL, and similarities and distinctions between the tripartite frameworks across diverse populations among Arabic-speaking people.

(Gonabad University of Medical Sciences, 2025) Bulut, Sefa; Saadati, Nadereh; Al-Dossary, Saeed Abdullah; Coelho, Olga; Rostami, Mehdi; Parsakia, Kamdin; Zadhasn, Zohreh; Tabar, Seyed Hadi Seyed Ali; Abadi, Parichehr Mehdi; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated widespread health anxiety, affecting populations globally. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between introspective awareness and health anxiety levels. Methods: Employing a cross-sectional design and the convenience sampling method, 350 residents of Richmond Hill of Canada with an age of 18 and above participated in this study in year 2023. Health anxiety was assessed using the Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI), while introspective awareness was measured via the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA), encompassing eight subscales. Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses were conducted to explore the predictive relationships between introspective awareness components and health anxiety. Results: The participants had a slight female predominance (53.43%), diverse age distribution, and the majority having post-secondary education (81.43%). Noticing (r = -0.45, p < 0.001) and Emotional Awareness (r = -0.48, p < 0.001) demonstrated significant negative correlations with health anxiety, indicating their potential protective roles while other subscales showed no significant predictive role individually (p > 0.05). The regression model revealed that these components significantly predicted health anxiety levels, accounting for approximately 42% of the variance (R^2 = 0.42, F(2, 347) = 48.35, p < 0.001). Specifically, increases in Noticing and Emotional Awareness were associated with decreases in health anxiety scores (B = -3.45 and B = -4.12, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Considering the results, enhancing aspects of introspective awareness, such as Noticing and Emotional Awareness, could be crucial in developing interventions aimed at reducing health anxiety in pandemic conditions and beyond.

(Universitas Islam Tribakti Lirboyo Kediri, 2024) Muallifah; Hidayati, Beti Malia Rahma; Ilhamuddin; Bulut, Sefa; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
School engagement is an important aspect that supports students' academic success. This study aims to prove the contribution of grit moderated by teacher support to students' school engagement. The participants of this study were 237 students, consisting of 94 males and 143 females, who were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The analysis shows that grit positively and significantly affects students' school engagement [β = 0.433 (43.3%), p-value = 0.001]. In moderation, the teacher support variable can moderate the influence of the grit variable on school engagement, with the magnitude of the effect increasing to 0.497 (49.7%) and a significance value of P = 0.043. Additional results of gender analysis of the level of school engagement of students at school are more excellent for male students than female students. These findings can be used to increase student engagement in schools by strengthening the quality of student grit and by moderating the provision of teacher support and attention.

(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2024) Oğuz, Bünyamin; Yurdunkulu, Adem; Göçen, Ahmet; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
This study investigates teachers' perceptions about the presence of meaning, innovative behavior, burnout, openness toward organizational change, and principals' ethical leadership, focusing on their implications for 21st-century skills teaching. The research aims to determine if these factors individually or collectively influence teachers' readiness and capability to impart 21st-century skills in the class. Employing a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, the study gathered data from 799 teachers who completed surveys in Şanlıurfa/ Türkiye during the academic year 2022-2023. Results indicate significant relationships among all constructs in the study, from the presence of meaning to 21st-century skills teaching. Specifically, while teachers' perceptions of meaning and burnout are negatively correlated, innovative behavior, openness toward organizational change, and 21st-century skills teaching are positively correlated. The multiple regression analysis reveals that innovative behavior, openness toward organizational change, and perceived ethical leadership significantly predict 21st-century skills teaching while the presence of meaning and burnout do not contribute to the model significantly.

(Routledge, 2024) Turhan, Zeynep; Genç, Emel; Bulut, Sefa; Demir, Mehmet Can; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Domestic violence perpetrator programs should develop a multifaceted approach and implement rigorous evaluations. This study examined the effectiveness of a 10-week healthy relationships program for male perpetrators in Türkiye with recent family restraining orders. The program integrated motivational strategies, cognitive-behavioral therapy, feminist therapy, positive psychology, and the stages of change model. The study utilized a qualitative research design, including semi-structured interviews. A total of 18 men were allocated to three intervention groups (N = 18; Group 1: 6, Group 2: 5, Group 3: 7). Thematic analysis revealed that, despite initial concerns, the men gradually developed trust and acquired new skills through the eclectic approach. However, challenges related to sustaining long-term behavioral change were identified. The results imply that perpetrators have the potential to enhance their communication and anger management abilities, although they may encounter difficulties in fully acknowledging their role in perpetrating violence.

Okumak, psikolog veya terapistle yapılan bir seansın yerini almasa bile, bilimsel araştırmalar okumanın birçok faydasını ortaya koymuştur. Okumak, stresi azaltır, uyku kalitesini artırır ve duygusal zekayı uyarır (Stip vd., 2020). Daha çok tek başına yapılan bir etkinlik olsa bile, okumakta olunan romanın öyküsünden özdeşleşmiş ve etkilenmiş hissetmek koşuluyla, okumak kişiyi daha empatik hale getirerek insan ilişkilerini kolaylaştırabilir. Okuma, hafızayı geliştirir ve olay örgüsünü, karakterlerin adlarını ve aralarındaki ilişkileri akılda tutmak için hatırlamayı içerir (Wilson vd., 2013)...
Post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and perceived social support among Iraqi and Syrian immigrant and refugee adolescents in Türkiye
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2024) Bulut, Sefa; Karaman, Hüseyin Buğra; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
This study aimed to determine the levels of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (ptsd), depression, and perceived social support among immigrant secondary school students residing in Bolu, Türkiye. The refugee children had significantly higher scores for both ptsd and depression, and lower scores for social support. While there were no significant gender differences for the three variables, older students had higher ptsd scores. Immigrant students who had lived in Türkiye for four years or longer had lower depression, higher social support, and social support from a special person. Surprisingly, students whose families had immigrated for educational reasons had higher ptsd scores and lower family social support scores than those that immigrated due to conflicts. A regression analysis, conducted to predict depression via ptsd and social support, showed that the two variables accounted for 25% of the variance in depression scores.
Living with fibromyalgia: A phenomenological study of pain, fatigue, and coping
(KMAN Publication, 2024) Rostami, Mehdi; Bulut, Sefa; Coelho, Olga; Riyono, Bagus; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
This phenomenological study aims to explore the lived experiences of individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM), focusing on their experiences of pain, fatigue, and the coping mechanisms they employ to manage these symptoms.Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 25 participants who have been diagnosed with FM. Participants were recruited from various fibromyalgia support groups and clinics, ensuring a diverse representation in terms of age, gender, and duration of diagnosis. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzedusing thematic analysis to achieve theoretical saturation.Three main themes were identified from the interviews: Pain, Fatigue, and Coping Mechanisms. Under the Pain theme, categories included the nature and characteristics of pain, its impact on physical function, and pain management strategies. The Fatigue theme comprised chronic exhaustion, cognitive fatigue, and its impact on daily activities. For Coping Mechanisms, emotional strategies, physical coping tactics, and social support were highlighted as key categories. These themes underscore the complex interplay between the physical symptoms of FM and the psychological and social strategies employed by individuals to manage their condition.The study highlights the pervasive and multifaceted nature of pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia, significantly impacting individuals' daily lives and functional abilities. It also reveals the importance of effective coping strategies, both adaptive and maladaptive, in managing these symptoms. These findings emphasize the need for a holistic and personalized approach to the management and support of individuals living with FM, incorporating both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
Transnational families: Maintaining relationships across borders
(KMAN Publication, 2024) Bulut, Sefa; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
In an era characterized by globalization and mobility, the phenomenon of transnational families has become increasingly prevalent. These families, dispersed across national borders, strive to maintain familial bonds despite geographical separations. This letter explores the dynamics of transnational families, focusing on the methods they employ to preserve relationships and the challenges they encounter, drawing upon recent scholarly contributions to the field. In conclusion, transnational families embody the complexities and dynamism of contemporary family life in a globalized world. Through innovative communication practices, caregiving arrangements, and the maintenance of cultural ties, these families demonstrate remarkable resilience and adaptability. As globalization continues to shape the patterns of migration and family life, it is essential for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to pay close attention to the needs and experiences of transnational families. Addressing issues of accessibility, supporting caregiving arrangements, and fostering cultural connectivity are crucial steps in ensuring the well-being and cohesion of transnational families. As we move forward, it is vital to continue exploring and understanding the diverse ways in which families maintain their relationships across borders, adapting to the challenges and opportunities of a connected world.
