Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Social Connectedness and Mental Health Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic in a Community Sample in Korea(Public Library of Science, 2023-10-19) You, Sungeun; Moon, Hyejoo; Lee, Sojung; Şahin, Banu Çankaya; Caine, Eric; Ko, Jisu; Cankaya, BanuThis study compared social connectedness patterns and examined the relationships between objective or subjective social connectedness and mental health before and during the COVID-19 pandemic among community dwelling adults in South Korea. An identical online survey was administered at two time points, in 2019 prior to the onset and again in 2021. Objective (network diversity and network size) and subjective (thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness) social connectedness were measured along with positive and negative indices of mental health (depression, suicidal behavior, happiness, and life satisfaction). The results indicated that among social connectedness indices perceived burdensomeness were significantly higher during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the prior period, while network size was smaller. Subjective social connectedness was associated with all aspects of mental health consequences, either positive or negative. Among objective social connectedness, only network diversity was significantly associated with increased happiness and life satisfaction, and objective social connectedness was not associated with depression and suicidal behavior. These associations did not differ across the two time periods. The findings, both before and during the pandemic, indicated that network diversity is an important factor for positive indices of mental health and that efforts to increase subjective social connectedness are needed to decrease the risk of depression and suicidal behavior.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 9An Online Laboratory School Research on Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Experiences and Mathematics Teaching Anxiety(Springer, 2022-11-04) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Pekkan, Tunç Zelha; Tunc-Pekkan, ZelhaDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, we founded an Online Laboratory School (OLS) under the roof of a university in Turkey to support students from public schools that were not technologically prepared for an online education and to provide an opportunity for our pre-service teachers (PSTs) to continue their internship by teaching online. The purpose of this research, consisting of two studies, was to examine experiences of 43 PSTs (first-, third- and fourth-years) during the OLS period of 8 weeks and how the OLS affected their mathematics teaching anxiety during Fall 2020. In the first study, we administered a survey to inquire into PSTs’ views on their experiences at the OLS, and in the second study we examined their mathematics teaching anxiety before and after the OLS experience using another survey. One main result was that the OLS experience served as an effective introduction to the profession for first-year PSTs and fourth- and third-year PSTs reported learning in-depth about online teaching in terms of the planning, teaching, and reflecting cycle. Another main result was that PSTs had mathematics teaching anxiety from “a little” to “a moderate amount” before the OLS and their teaching anxiety did not significantly change during the OLS period of 8 weeks. PSTs experienced highest mathematics teaching anxiety when they were observed and evaluated by supervisors during their teaching. The implications of these findings are discussed for teacher education programs.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Effects of Covid-19 Lockdowns on Social Distancing in Turkey(Oxford University Press, 2022-05-23) Bilgel, FıratThis paper elucidates the causal effect of lockdowns on social distancing behaviour in Turkey by adopting an augmented synthetic control and a factor-augmented model approach for imputing counterfactuals. By constructing a synthetic control group that reproduces pre-lockdown trajectory of mobility of the treated provinces and that accommodates staggered adoption, the difference between the counterfactual and actual mobility of treated provinces is assessed in the post-lockdown period. The analysis shows that in the short run following the onset of lockdowns, outdoor mobility would have been about 17–53 percentage points higher on average in the absence of lockdowns, depending on social distancing measure. However, residential mobility would have been about 12 percentage points lower in the absence of lockdowns. The findings are corroborated using interactive fixed effects and matrix completion counterfactuals that accommodate staggered adoption and treatment reversals.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 17Does Social Influence Affect Covid-19 Vaccination Intention Among the Unvaccinated?(Cambridge University Press, 2022) Bozyel, Gizem; Uysal, Mete Sefa; Akpınar, Ege; Aksu, Ayça; Salalı, Gül DenizConformist social influence is a double-edged sword when it comes to vaccine promotion. On the one hand, social influence may increase vaccine uptake by reassuring the hesitant about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine; on the other, people may forgo the cost of vaccination when the majority is already vaccinated - giving rise to a public goods dilemma. Here, we examine whether available information on the percentage of double-vaccinated people affects COVID-19 vaccination intention among unvaccinated people in Turkey. In an online experiment, we divided participants (n = 1013) into low, intermediate, and high social influence conditions, reflecting the government's vaccine promotion messages. We found that social influence did not predict COVID-19 vaccination intention, but psychological reactance and collectivism did. People with higher reactance (intolerance of others telling one what to do and being sceptical of consensus views) had lower vaccination intention, whilst people with higher collectivism (how much a person considers group benefits over individual success) had higher vaccination intention. Our findings suggest that advertising the percentage of double-vaccinated people is not sufficient to trigger a cascade of others getting themselves vaccinated. Diverse promotion strategies reflecting the heterogeneity of individual attitudes could be more effective.Article Online Peer Reviews: a Lasting Innovation From the Covid Pandemic?(The Global eLearning Journal, 2022) Bush, C. Jerome; Bakhtiyarov, RustamThe COVID pandemic caused a forced transition to online learning as schools were closed to stop thespread of the disease. Schools and teachers coped with this by adapting face-to-face activities to theonline environment in innovative ways. This study investigates the effectiveness of conducting peerreviews online and considers whether this innovation should be retained after the pandemic ends. It wasconducted in a small, private university in a developing country. Out of 130 students, 34 surveys werecollected (26%) that contained useful quantitative and qualitative data. The checklist forms used in thepeer reviews were compared to the subsequent draft to see the uptake of the feedback. The resultsshowed that students incorporated 72% of the peer suggestions in the next versions of their report.Overall, the peer reviews were found to be effective, motivating, and to increase confidence as a writer.Students considered the most effective way to improve writing is with a combination of peer and teachergiven feedback. Interestingly, no clear preference for face-to-face peer reviews was indicated. Therefore,it seems that conducting peer reviews online is a valid option for teachers who want to save valuableclass time. To enhance the effectiveness of online peer reviews it is suggested that teachers givesubstantial learner training prior to the peer review, provide structure such as checklists or guidelines, andincrease accountability by giving students a chance to meaningfully evaluate the comments andparticipation of their peer reviewers.Article Krizler Fırsat Yaratır Mı?
