The study focused on students in grades 9 and 10 from three different cases. One case involved students who were prepared through the Turkish national curriculum, a second through the International General Certificate of Secondary Education and the third with the International Baccalaureate Organisation's Middle Years Programme. Questionnaires and focus group interviews were used to gain student insights about how each approach developed their learning strategies and affected their dispositions. Students were also asked about their critical thinking skills. Further understanding of students' critical thinking skills was learned by examining samples of their work. These particular attributes were investigated because of their relevance to 21 st century skills that are needed for a sustainable future.

Investigating the Predictors of the Diploma Programme Outcome Scores

A purposive sample of 123 high school students was drawn from a selective private school in a city in Eastern Turkey. Multiple regression analyses were conducted for one dependent variable: Diploma Programme outcome scores by using the independent variables: students' International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) scores, English scores and IBDP mock exam score variance. The model found to explain 76% of the DP outcome scores. It was found also found that the English levels of the students were not considered by teachers as important as they should be. If students could increase their English achievement level in IGCSE by 1 point, their IBDP results would increase .21 points. This means that the prospective IBDP students and their teachers must consider students' English achievement level as well as their achievement level in IGCSE exam for each course when they are to register for IBDP. The model built as a result of this study can be used by IBDP teachers, coordinators, and students to predict the achievement level of students in the end of IBDP.

Lise Öğrenci̇leri̇nde İnsan Vücudu Organ Si̇stemleri̇ni̇n Kavramsallaştirilmasi

Due to the time limitation, misconceptions were not evaluated in this research. The focus of this research was mainly to determine the frequency of the drawn organ systems by the students to find out their knowledge prior to the upcoming chapter in IBDP Biology curriculum, Topic 6: Human Physiology, so that the curriculum implementation plan can be built considering the data collected in this small-scale research. Spontaneous drawings of students in support with open-ended questions were used in this current research to make qualitative analysis of the students' ideas on human body systems and their functions. The mean age of the students was 18.1 (range 18-19) in this study which did not focus on the gender differences. The participants had studied at various middle schools before they started this high school. Therefore, there was great diversity due to the participants' background however they were all being taught International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) Biology in grade 9 and 10 prior to IBDP. It was found that the only organ system among ten of those, which the students reached level 5 was urinary system. They still need further support on digestive, muscular and skeletal systems as well as the lymphatic system.

Compared to other studies, respondents to the current study reported that openness to teaching different teaching methods was a notable perceived facilitator for placebased education. This finding and others will be used by the teacher education program to improve place-based education in their methods courses.

Student perceptions of successful learning support for an international high school programme: a comparative case study in Turkey

Given the benefits and challenges of the programme, educators and stakeholders want to ensure students feel ready to participate. In the literature, studies support that programmes such as the International General Certificate of Secondary Education and the International Baccalaureate Organisation's Middle Years Programme prepare students for the IBDP; however, there is a need for students' voices on how they perceive they are prepared through these programmes. This study investigated three different approaches to IBDP preparation by gaining student insights through a scaled-item questionnaire and interviews. Students identified experiences that gave them skills to monitor their learning and resources that motivated them to participate in an advanced upper-high school programme.
