Globalization has brought changes in every aspect of human lives and education process had a huge impact on itself. Globally the movement of students tented from east to west where students prefer to travel and get enrolled in modern and advanced universities of west and tried to adapt the language, culture and their education system. Such trend had been seen in Turkey also in recent times and the universities in Turkey had seen a huge rise of enrolment of international students. The strength of International student's in higher education within the Turkey has increased considerably in the last few years with the help of different Scholarship Program. Every year, the number of foreign students come to get higher education in Turkey and they go through an adaptation process to new University life. Mostly, in early researches around the world revealed that international students face many challenges such as academic challenges, social isolation, and cultural adjustment. The academic challenges include student's communication with their Teachers, their communication with classmates and with other staff members in the universities, different grading system, difference in university norms and regulations, Multicultural classes etc. On another hand, they also face social isolation especially when they are engaged in different social activities. Culturally, they face the differences in the way of thinking and ideological clashes within the new country. In order to overcome these hurdles, challenges and barriers students have to adopt different resources that mainly are derived from the universities and outside universities. In this research work the international student's experiences will be studied in various settings such as in academics, Socio-cultural and personal settings. This research believes that if the faculties, students and other staff members of the universities had a better understanding of these student's academic challenges and needs then an effective support in campus and services can be provided to these students. Also, the universities need to be well prepared and aware of in order to meet students' needs not only academically but also socially and culturally. This research will suggest some preparations which are needed to be made by the universities and scholarship agencies such as International student's offices in universities so the process of adjustment for foreign students becomes easier. The mixed method research design will be used as a study design. For the quantitative part the date will be collected through Demographic Information sheet and International Students Adjustment Scale. In Qualitative study, a focus group interview process will be used in order to get the in depth information and also qualitative case study method will be adopted in order to have in depth understanding of issues such as academic, socio-cultural and personal adaptation faced by international students studying in Turkey. In light of the research the recommendations for the universities and all scholarship providing offices will be generated and how they can assist and help international students. The study will be unique of its kind as there are not much researches done in this field within Turkey and there is a very strong need of it. It will help researchers, policy makers and concerned authorities to understand issues related to international students in Turkey and how unique social and cultural environment of Turkey effects them. In addition, it will give insights of how Turkey and its academic life is being perceived around the globe and can suggest steps if need to improve it.

    Understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the career choices of individuals by using career sailboat model
    (Frontiers Media S. A., 2023) Nazir, Thseen; Özçiçek, Ayşe; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
    Career sailboat model (CSM) is a postmodernist career-counseling model in which career decision-making involves four interrelated and interactive dimensions: individual/personal factors, social factors, system-related factors, and chance factors. According to the CSM, because these factors are interrelated, in case of disclusion of any of them while making a career decision may lead an individual to make unfitting career choices. From this perspective, an unexpected event such as a natural disaster can be considered under the category of chance factor and it can impact other factors -individual, social and system-related- which have an influence on the individual’s career choice as well as its impact varies according to the individual, social and system-related factors. This article aims to understand the effects of COVID-19, as a chance factor, on other constructs -individual/personal, social, and system-related- of the CSM and their overall impacts on people’s career decision-making process. To be able to understand the impact of such a global calamity, the research done during the COVID-19 period has been used in this research. It is concluded that when a calamity like COVID-19 comes into the scene as a chance factor can have a significant impact on an individual’s perspective regarding their career.

    (OPRA Publications, 2022) Nazir, Thseen; Özçiçek, Ayşe; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
    The enrolment of International students in Turkish universities is achieving new heights every year. This influx of international students brings huge challenges to universities in terms of adjustment issues as these international students come from diverse backgrounds and cultures. This diversity on one side brings multiculturalism and opportunities to the campus but on another side, it brings diverse challenges in terms of academics, sociocultural, and personal fronts. These international students every day face numerous challenges to adapt to their full potential and adjust to their new environment. One of the biggest and key challenges for international students in Turkey is the Turkish language. In this study, International students were examined in terms of the Language barrier and language-related issues which they face on-campus as well as off-campus and how this language issue leads them to stress. The study used a mixed design method in which a survey questionnaire was used to understand the languagerelated issues and stress, and detailed interviews were conducted to get a better understanding of the language challenges among international students. The study found that language is one of the root causes of stress among International students in the beginning year and majority of the students feel incompetent in academic language which makes them feel isolated, stressed, depressed, and affecting their overall mental health. Interviews also revealed that the majority of students felt that one year of Tömer is not enough to have competent command of academic language. Interviews also revealed that language issues include writing skills, reading skills, understanding academic language, local accents, and understanding and participating in lectures, seminars, and extra co-curricular activities. The transit from Tömer to University life is the hardest and there is very little support from Universities during that phase and there is a strong need to create support from universities for International students.

    Gaslighting: İki yüzlü bir duygusal istismarla yüzleşmek
    (Anadolu University, 2022) Özçiçek, Ayşe; Nazir, Thseen; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
    Gaslighting, buna maruz kalan bireylerin kendi düşüncelerinden şüphe etmelerine, özgüvenlerini kaybetmelerine ve bunun sonucunda da istismarcıya bağımlı hale gelmelerine neden olan bir tür psikolojik istismardır. Bu istismar biçiminde fail, mağdura karşı, mağdurun gerçekliğinden emin olduğu şeylerin hatalı, tepkilerinin ve duygularının abartılı olduğu gibi ithamlarda bulunarak mağdurun kendi deneyimlerinden şüphe etmesine sebep olur. Bunun sonucunda da mağdur, deneyimlerini, düşüncelerini ve algısını sorgulamaya başlar. Gaslight uygulayan kişinin sürekli ve sistematik manipülasyonları, kurbanın kendinden şüphe etmesine, özgüvenini ve öz değerini kaybetmesine ve/veya olumsuz bir benlik algısı oluşturmasına neden olur. Bu tür durumlar en çok yakın ilişkilerde, aile içi şiddet senaryolarında görülür ancak bununla sınırlı değildir. İş ve okul gibi çeşitli ortamlarda da bireyler gaslight davranışlarına maruz kalabilirler. Araştırmacılara göre yakın ilişkilerde sıklıkla görülen gaslighting, göz ardı edilmesi halinde kurbanlar üzerinde ciddi mental ve psikolojik sorunlara sebebiyet verebilir. Öyle ki, mağdurlarda anksiyete, depresyon, kafa karışıklığında artış, kendinden şüphe duyma, azalan benlik saygısı gibi konularda ruh sağlığını etkiler ve hatta psikozu tetikleyebilir. Bu makale, Gaslighting’i tanımlamayı, ortaya çıkış sebeplerini, buna maruz kalınması halinde nasıl ayırt edilebileceğini ve bu durumla nasıl başa çıkılabileceğini gaslighting üzerine yapılan çalışmaları bir araya getirerek aktarmayı, bu sayede de farkındalık çalışmalarına katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
