    Focal points for digital technology integration in early childhood education: implications from practitioners' perspectives
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Celik, Osman T.; Candemir, Burcu; Saglam, Mehmet; Tunc, Yunus; Acar, Davut; Kahraman, Umit
    This study explored the integration of digital technology in early childhood education from the perspectives of 11 preschool teachers using qualitative methods. Through content analysis, four key themes were identified: objectives, multidimensional effects in education, obstacles, and needs/expectations. Teachers employ digital tools to adapt to changes and enhance learning, despite concerns about potential harm. Barriers include administrative support, teacher beliefs, and competencies, as well as educational policies and parent-teacher cooperation. The study recommends the need for in-service and pre-service training for teachers and comprehensive policy development for effective technology integration.

    Meta-thematic analysis of quality in early childhood education and care
    (Springernature, 2023) Saglam, Mehmet; Celik, Osman Tayyar; Tunc, Yunus; Kahraman, Umit; Acar, Davut; Candemir, Burcu
    Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has drawn the attention of researchers and practitioners due to its correlation with positive individual, societal, and economic results. In ECEC, however, there is no consensus on quality metrics. This meta-thematic study seeks to provide a framework for quality indicators in ECEC and to identify the contextual factors that influence the perception of quality. The study's data source comprises 14 published papers conducted in 11 countries using qualitative or mixed methods on quality in ECEC. As a consequence of the analysis, 16 early childhood education and care quality indicators were identified. As a result of the second-level studies, the underlying or associated syntheses in the ECEC quality indicators were uncovered. These include child-centeredness, teacher qualifications, culture and atmosphere of the ECEC center, holistic development, and leadership. In addition, it was concluded that cultural values and beliefs, the centralization degree of the education system, and the expectations of stakeholders are contextual elements that influence the quality and perceptions of quality in ECEC.

    Understanding Psychosocial Determinants of Adolescent Bullying in Turkiye
    (Tech Science Press, 2026) Inci, Ramazan; Acar, Davut; Celik, Osman Tayyar; Tunc, Yunus
    Background: Bullying during adolescence is shaped by numerous psychosocial factors such as family dynamics, attachment, and peer relationships. This study aims to examine parental acceptance-rejection, attachment styles, and social exclusion factors as key psychosocial variables predicting bullying behavior in adolescents. Methods: In a cross-sectional study conducted with 349 high school students in Hakkari, T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected using the Olweus Bullying Scale, the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Scale, the Social Exclusion Scale, and the Three-Dimensional Attachment Styles Scale. Independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVAs, Pearson correlations, and hierarchical regression analyses were performed. Results: Research findings reveal that peer bullying varies significantly according to gender, class level, parents' educational level, and socio-economic status. Furthermore, our findings indicate that social exclusion (beta = 0.506, p < 0.01) and avoidant attachment (beta = 0.162, p < 0.01) positively predict peer bullying, while secure attachment (beta = -0.205, p < 0.01), maternal (beta = -0.385, p < 0.01) and paternal (beta = -0.217, p < 0.01) acceptance/rejection negatively predict bullying. The final regression model explains approximately 55% of the variance in bullying. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that social exclusion, parental acceptance/rejection, and secure or avoidant attachment patterns may be associated with bullying behaviour in adolescents. These findings emphasise the necessity of family-and peer-focused interventions to combat bullying.
