Undergraduates’ Participation
- Authors: Akkarajet Chaiyaphum; Tawatchai Kahaban, Yuttapong Khuenkhaew, Wannatida Yonwilad, Nattapong Rakngam
  Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate how familiarity with social media about local elections influences the engagement of students. The sample for this study consisted of 350 undergraduate students. The questionnaire was used as an instrument in the data collection process. The findings demonstrated that the first place to check for daily political news was Facebook, followed closely by TikTok, and then Twitter. Monitoring is done mostly daily about the regularity with which undergraduate students follow political information. Undergraduate students use electronic devices such as smartphones, iPad, other tablets, notebooks, and desktop computers to keep up with the news. A mean score of 4.30 indicates that the conduct of undergraduate students who obtain political information about local elections from social media is always favorable. The findings suggest that further study should be conducted on specific platforms to validate the impacts of social media usage in light of the distinctive characteristics of each platform.

Footballers
- Authors: Berat Koçyiğit; Aydın Şentürk
  Abstract: The goal of this study is to examine the relationship between amateur football players’ Sport-confidence and goal commitment. The study consisted of amateur footballers in Isparta province. The sample group consisted of 194 male athletes who played in amateur teams. In this study, the personal information and the sports self-confidence scale and the commitment to team goals scale in the literature were used. Continuous Sport-confidence Scale was developed by Vealey (1986) and adapted to Turkish by Engür et al. (2006).The scale consists of 13 items in total and constitutes a dimension of the Sport-confidence scale. The overall internal consistency coefficient in the adaptation study of the scale was found to be 0.89. Goal Commitment Scale in Sports was developed by Klein vd (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Şenel and Yıldız (2016). The scale, which consists of 5 items and a single sub-dimension, is a five-point Likert-type scale. The overall internal consistency coefficient in the adaptation study of the scale was found to be 0.70. Statistical analysis was performed in computer environment. Pearson correlation analysis (r) was applied. As a result, it was observed that amateur football players participating in the study had high levels of sport-confidence and commitment to team goals. A moderate positive correlation was found between sport-confidence and commitment to team goals. This is thought to be due to the fact that amateur football players want to prove themselves and that the success of the team is also adopted as the success of their football players.

(3) PLC process assessment form. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentages, mean score (M), standard deviation (SD), and thematic analysis. This research shows that 1) collaboration and shared visions are the stationary driving forces, accounting for 10% of equal work values, while a high collective focus on student learning (45%) drives PLC processes. 2) CSIPL process averaged 4.03 with a standard deviation of 0.74 which shows the suitability of appropriateness at a high level. 3) The overall earnings management for the CSIPL process is 4.22, which means that the level of suitability is high. 4) Students lack the experience of learning what they receive from activities that reflect process control because teachers lack the expertise, they have achieved following the PLC process.
