    There is a growing emphasis on the use of technology in education. For students to effectively participate in technology assisted learning, they need to be computer literate. Internet self-efficacy is a potential indicator of computer literacy. This research study discusses the factors affecting secondary school students’ Internet self-efficacy, made up of general self-efficacy and communicative selfefficacy. The data used in this study is a part of a larger data set of a research project funded between 2008 and 2010. A total of 609 secondary school students from ten different schools participated in the study. A MANCOVA was run to investigate students’ Internet self-efficacy scores based on several student-related factors. The results revealed that students were highly confident in their Internet self-efficacy. Daily computer use and weekly email use, in addition to having Internet connection at home, were found to be significantly predicting students’ Internet self-efficacy scores. The independent variables varied in terms of which dependent variables they affect. Student grade level and gender interestingly did not have any impact on the results. As the technology integrations are becoming more apparent in Turkish public schools thorough large-scale projects like FATİH, the findings of this study will be of the essence to understand the average student profiles in terms of the confidence with the technology.

    Peacemaking skills: Anatolian sufi verses and the peace education
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2012-04-01) Dinçer, Figun; Eğitim Fakültesi
    Timoty Reagan says “Peace is our future, and peace education is a key means toward reaching that future” (2003: 2). It is assumed that Anatolian Sufis have been using that key means since thirteenth century. Regardless of the geographical, religious, cultural and chronological distances among them, the verses of Sufis in Anatolia contain similar messages with the peace education today that highlights values like humanism, peace, conflict resolution and tolerance. In addition to these values, the Sufi verses reflect the themes of love toward both God and the whole range of existence. The aim of this present study is to explore the peacemaking skills in some of the verses of Mevlâna Jelaleddin Rumî, Yunus Emre, Kul Himmet, Pir Sultan Abdal and Gaybî Sunullah and to discuss their approach to the concepts like conflict/conflict resolution and humanism for a peaceful world.
