Abstract

In today's globalized world, rapid population growth, technological advancement, digital dependency, overconsumption of natural resources, and increasing environmental pollution have significantly influenced cultural values' erosion. While technology facilitates daily life, it threatens public health and disrupts ecological systems. This study employs an action research design to integrate core cultural values—rooted in Turkish-Islamic philosophy—into the educational experiences of prospective primary school teachers through environmental education. In a primary school in Konya, Türkiye, the research utilized semi-structured interviews to investigate the effects of value-based and environmental education activities on pre-service teachers. Data were analyzed using descriptive and content analysis methods. The findings reveal that the activities produced positive outcomes by reawakening long-forgotten values and enhancing the participants' environmental sensitivity. The study demonstrates that action-based learning experiences significantly contribute to future educators' ethical and ecological awareness.

Abstract

Türkiye has recently reformed its curriculum to emphasize 21st-century skills, integrating critical thinking, digital literacy, and values education. These efforts culminated in the 2023 Turkish Century Maarif Model, which balances modernization, national identity, and global frameworks like the OECD Learning Compass and UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development Goals. This study aims to critically analyze the key features, implementation strategies, and practical implications of the Turkish Century Maarif Model within the context of global frameworks such as the OECD 2030 Learning Compass and the Sustainable Development Goals. Using qualitative research design, the study employed document analysis and thematic content analysis to examine official policy papers, national education reports, and peer-reviewed literature published between 2018 and 2024. Findings indicate that while the reform promotes innovation, digital literacy, and student-centered pedagogy, several systemic barriers persist. These include inadequate teacher training, regional disparities in educational infrastructure, and misalignment between assessment systems and new pedagogical goals. Bridging the gap between policy and practice requires inclusive teacher professional development programs, equitable investment in digital infrastructure, and a restructured assessment framework that supports competency-based learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the psychological resilience and invisible traumas of foreign fourth-grade primary school students in Türkiye, focusing on 91 students from Syrian, Iraqi, and Somali backgrounds in a public school in Konya. Using a qualitative research design, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews exploring students' migration histories, emotional struggles, school adaptation, and coping strategies. Findings reveal deep psychological distress linked to war, displacement, and migration-related adversities. Students frequently reported fear, social exclusion, and language difficulties, which hindered academic performance and integration. Despite these challenges, many displayed resilience through religious practices, creativity, and strong family ties. Peer interactions emerged as both supportive and discriminatory. While some teachers and peers contributed positively, trauma-informed approaches were largely absent. Guided by Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and intersectionality, the study emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive educational policies that include psychological support services, inclusive pedagogies, and robust language assistance. By highlighting these students' often-overlooked emotional experiences, the research contributes to the broader discourse on migration and education, offering practical recommendations for promoting equity and well-being in Turkish primary schools.
