Tourism is a field of activity given importance by both the participants and the tourism investors. In addition to the environmental factors affecting tourism activities, there are economic, social and physical factors depending on tourism activities. As well as the positive aspects of these factors, there are negative ones, too. This study sets out to seek an answer to whether the positive social, economic and physical impacts of tourism affect the perception of tourist thought the opinions of hotel employees. The study data were obtained from hotels tourism establishment certificate in Eskişehir and Antalya in 2015. The total number of questionnaire form evaluated is 874. In order to test the relation among the variables under consideration structural equation model has been employed. The coefficients among the variables in the structural equation model are statistically significant. Considering the study on the whole, hotel employees have awareness of tourism and tourist concepts alike, and there is an inverse relationship between the social impacts of tourism on the perception of tourist in both cities. Besides, there is a linear relationship between the economic and physical impacts of tourism and the perception of tourist

Testing the Applicability of the Instructional Beliefs Model across Three Countries: The Role of Culture as a Theoretical Parameter
Frisby, Brandi; Tatum, Nicholas; Galy-Badenas, Flora; Bengu, Elif
Instructional communication research is critiqued for lacking theoretical development and limited cultural understanding. This study tested the instructional beliefs model (IBM) in three countries: US, Turkey, and Finland. Participants (N = 376) reported perceptions of teacher relevance, state motivation, procedural justice, learner empowerment, and revised learning indicators. Results revealed that the IBM provided a good fit to the data in Turkey and Finland but not in the US. In all models, procedural justice and state motivation were significant predictors of learner empowerment, and learner empowerment strongly predicted revised learning indicators. However, teacher relevance only predicted learner empowerment in non-US classrooms. These results have practical implications for teaching in increasingly diverse classrooms and understanding higher education abroad. This study supports and extends IBM. © 2021 World Communication Association.

Rapport, motivation, participation, and perceptions of learning in U.S. and Turkish student classrooms: a replication and cultural comparison
Frisby, Brandi N.; Slone, Amanda R.; Bengu, Elif
Building on previous rapport research, Hofstede's dimensions of culture, and calls for culture-centered instructional research, this study examined instructor-student rapport in U.S. and Turkish college classrooms. U. S. participants (N = 143) and Turkish participants (N = 185) completed measures of rapport, state motivation, participation, and perceptions of learning. Results revealed no differences in state motivation and perceptions of learning, but U. S. students reported significantly more rapport with their instructors while Turkish students reported significantly more participation in the classroom. Rapport significantly predicted state motivation, participation, and perceptions of learning in both samples, but accounted for different levels of variance in the student outcomes.

Pre-service elementary teachers' motivations to become a teacher and its relationship with teaching self-efficacy
Bilim, Ibrahim
This study investigated 341 pre-service elementary teachers' motives to become a teacher using Factors Influencing Teaching Choice (FIT-Choice) theory as a basis. It then investigated how these motivations change as candidates follow their training and these motivations' relationship with teaching self-efficacy. The results suggests that Altruistic motives (make social contribution, shape future of children and enhance social equity) were the most influential followed by prior teaching and learning experiences, work with children/adolescents, and job security. Intrinsic motives (perceived teaching ability and intrinsic career value) came next. ANOVA results suggest that the motivations for choosing this profession remain stable between Freshman, Sophomore and Junior candidates. Teaching self-efficacy was positively related to intrinsic motives and negatively related to "fallback career" motives of elementary teacher candidates. Implications of the results are further discussed. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
