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.

Yayın The role of socio-demographics, family, and peer factors in adolescent alcohol behaviors(IJELS (Infogain Publication), 2022) Nazir, Thseen; Thabassum, Liyana; Nazir, Thseen; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık BölümüAlcohol consumption can be a volatile pastime amongst people, especially among adolescents. The behavior is debilitating and affects the overall well-being of students across varying instances of their daily lives, including their academics and interpersonal relationships. Adolescent alcohol consumption is influenced by internal and external factors, of which the current study focuses on socio-demographic, family, and peer factors. The sample consists of 751 high school students from Istanbul, Turkey. The data on their drinking behaviors were collected by implementing a survey questionnaire. A chi-square test of independence and Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted.The results revealed that variables like household income, parental marital status, mother's level of education and work status, family's alcohol use (mother, father, siblings), and peer alcohol usewere significantly associated with adolescent alcohol consumption. Furthermore, it was revealed that in the current sample being male, 18 years of age, and having educated mothers, mothers working as laborers, working or retired fathers, and alcohol using family members (father and siblings) predicted alcohol use. These findings indicate the importance of external and environmental factors in influencing adolescent consumption of alcohol.
