    Positive youth development in Turkey: a critical review of research on the social and emotional learning needs of Turkish adolescents, 2000-2012
    (Routledge, 2015) Martin, R. A.; Alacaci, C.
    This paper presents a critical and systematic review of 52 articles published from 2000 to 2012 about research conducted in Turkey concerning adolescents’ social and emotional learning needs. In correspondence with international research, articles were examined across three categories in which adolescent needs could be addressed by educational programmes. The categories examined were attitudes toward self and others, positive social behaviours, and social skills. In conclusion, we summarise several trends along with gaps that researchers need to address to derive stronger implications for policy-making and for curriculum development that links more directly with social and emotional learning in Turkey.

    Structures and programme supports for creativity, action, service in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: an implementation study in Turkey
    (SAGE Publications Ltd, 2016) Martin, R. A.; Tanyu, M.; Perry, S.
    This qualitative multiple-case study examined the implementation of an experiential learning component of an academic curriculum in six high schools in Turkey. Structures and supports that influenced programme implementation were examined using an implementation framework adapted from Durlak and Dupre. The study describes how the experiential learning programme is implemented. Findings indicate four areas that need ongoing attention: (1) supports for programme coordinators, (2) teacher training, (3) integration with academics and (4) school cultures that better support experiential learning. © 2016, © The Author(s) 2016.
