The study aimed to evaluate Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) of pre-service teachers within the framework of TPACK-Based Instructional Design Model during the emergency remote teaching process. The study, which was designed with an exploratory case approach, was carried out with senior pre-service teachers attending the Computer and Instructional Technologies Education (CEIT) department. The content of the courses within the scope of the study was developed and adjusted to include the stages of the TPACK-Based Instructional Design Model. The data consists of the lesson plans and course materials designed by the pre-service teachers, the videos and reports they prepared during the semester and their answers to the interview questions. The evaluation of lesson plans, materials and videos were carried out by using TPACK based learning environments assessment rubric. Content analysis was used to analyze the data obtained from the reports and the interviews. According to the findings of the study, the course, which was designed with the TPACK-based Instructional Design Model, increased the TPACK levels of pre-service teachers by associating their technological, pedagogical and content knowledge. It is observed that pre-service teachers focused on the characteristics of the target audience, the usability of the material, social presence, providing clear and unambiguous lectures, stimulating and gaining attention, and designing individual interactive materials in the use of TPACK. Instructional design of distance education courses is a significant topic to educate pre-service teachers during their training at the school of education. However, educating them about TPACK use and its applications in distance education would help distance education progress in a more planned manner.

Qualified and effective preschool education programs cover many dimensions. Family involvement and assessment dimensions are two of these dimensions. While the family participation dimension enables families to participate in education by taking responsibility in the education of their children, it also supports their development as effective parents. The dimensioning of the program includes the assesment of the children, program and the teacher herself. The literature includes studies involving the opinions of preschool teachers on different issues regarding the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) Preschool Education Curricula. However, there is no historical study examining teacher opinions on family involvement and assessment dimensions considering the MoNE 2002, 2006, and 2013 Preschool Education Curricula. Therefore, this study aimed at examining teachers’ opinions on the family involvement and assessment dimensions of the MoNE 2002, 2006, and 2013 Preschool Education Curricula. Interview method among qualitative research models was used in this study. The data were collected using “Teacher Personal Information Form” and “Teacher Interview Form”. The population of this study consisted of the 40 preschool teachers working in kindergartens and preschools in Ankara between 2003-2004 and 2015-2016 academic years. The sample of the study consists of 40 preschool teachers who worked in official kindergarten and kindergartens affiliated to MEB in eight district centers of Ankara province in the academic years of 2003-2004 and 2015-2016.

This study aims to elaborate on the history of mentoring in pre-service teacher education in Turkey since the foundation of the republic (1923). Existing literature does not provide information about the availability of an implemented pre-service teacher education between 1923 to 1998. However, a non-structured, undesignated formation in pre-service teacher training was initiated unofficially in the Village Institutes (1940-1954) and the formation reached a better structure in the following decades. The literature on pre-service teacher mentorship in Turkey emerged in the post-1980s. This study examines pre-service teacher mentorship chronologically. Firstly, an incipient pre-service teacher mentoring was inferred within the Village Institutes (1940-1954), albeit a non-structured, undesignated system. Next, a structured practicum mentorship was initiated in pre-service teacher education due to post-1998 reforms. Upon such progress, the Clinical Supervision Model piloting and e-mentorship implementations have been examined in pre-service teacher education studies which have been reviewed within a descriptive approach. Finally, the study concludes that the Clinical Supervision Model has been perceived significantly effective by the parties involved in pre-service teacher mentoring implementations. This finding may contribute to pre-service teacher education programs.
