Asslamualaikum guyssss

Today, we would like to share  a bit the system of education of this country

Every citizen has the right to education which is free of charge for the compulsory primary education. Except in specially licensed and foreign institutions, Turkish must be taught as the mother tongue. Since 2012, twelve years of education is obligation for boys and girls, which can be divided into 4+4+4 years of schooling( to the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey)
The Ministry of National Education (MEB) runs educational administration of the country and is responsible for drawing up curricula, coordinating the work of official, private and voluntary organizations, designing and building schools, developing educational materials and so on. The Supreme Council of National Education discusses and decides on curricula and regulations prepared by the Ministry. In the provinces, educational affairs are organized by the Directorates of National Education appointed by the Minister, but working under the direction of the provincial governor.
The central government is responsible for all educational expenses of the public, about 10% of the general budget is allocated for national education.

The central government is responsible for all educational expenses of the public, about 10% of the general budget is allocated for national education.

Formal Education
Formal education is the regular education of individuals in a certain age group and given in schools. This includes Pre-Primary education, Primary education, Secondary education and Higher education institutions.

Pre-Primary education
Pre-Primary education is an optional education for children between 3-5 years of age who are under the age of compulsory primary education. The purpose of this education is to ensure physical, mental and sensory development of children and the acquisition of good habits, to prepare children for primary education, to create a common atmosphere of growth for those living in inconvenient circumstances and to ensure that Turkish is spoken correct and well. Pre-school education is given in kindergartens, daycare homes, nursery classes in primary schools, and in private nurseries, all under the supervision of the Ministry. They are usually concentrated in larger towns and cities.

Primary Education
With a new Law in 2012, four years of Elementary school + four years of Middle school is compulsory today, followed by four years of compulsory high school education (makes a total of 12 years compulsary education). Primary education is compulsory for all boys and girls at the age of 5,5, and is given free of charge in public schools. These schools provide eight (4+4) years of education. There are also private (and paid) schools under State control. In most of the primary schools, foreign language lessons start from 4th class. Most elementary school students dress similarly in a type of uniform to avoid any social class differences between rich and poor students. If the children fails to pass the class, he/she has to repeat the same class next year. At the end of 8 years, successful students go for the Secondary education for 4 more years.
The purpose of the primary education is to ensure that every child acquires the basic knowledge, skills, behaviors, and habits to become a good citizen, is raised in line with the national moral concepts and is prepared for life and for the next education level parallel to his/her interests and skills.

Secondary Education
Secondary education is compulsory for four years and covers general, vocational and technical high schools (Lycees, Lise in Turkish) that provide four years of education (used to be 3 years until 2005).

 

Counsellor roles;

School is absolutely a place of growth as well as occasional, associated growing pains. In elementary school and middle school, students are learning the basics of interacting and cooperation, socialization, academic resolve, and much more. In high school, these benchmarks of growth evolve but often retain similar attributes. Finally, those moving on to college find a whole new set of challenges awaiting. Enter the professional field of school counseling

Common Concerns Addressed
While working to support students in their personal growth and educational experiences along the way, educational counselors may run into any number of issues that require their interventional services. From home issues, to school and grade concerns, there are many. As a result, this professional must be open and understanding to the discussion of many sensitive topics. A short list of such common concerns encountered and addressed by these professionals could include:
– bullying, aggression, or fighting
– puberty or personal growth concerns
– home life issues, abuse, neglect
– positive familial involvement
– educator or school staff conflicts with students
– bus and transportation issues
– concerns of grades, studies, and coursework
– handling typical school and classroom stressors
– advisory on upcoming educational choices
– and much more

Once, she went there her perception was changed. she told that there are Islamic country but the practising of the people there seem to be without Islam. some people pray but they did not reciting surah Al-fatihah, they did it in order to fulfil the salah itself means they did it as fact as they can. there were not attention to close to Allah. Moreover, there are many practising more than 4 mazhab, such as siah, khowarij and so on.

 

 

For the counsellor, we should know a bit about this issue, once clients want to do some business there. So, we can tell he or she a bit about this thing because we do not know about the level knowledge of client itself. this is the one thing that she or he can prevent, if she or he feel not comfortable. But the decision making is in clients hands. And remember that Allah will not test His slave over than their ability.

CR.Aminah

Sixth week

AssalamualaiKum……. Guys !!!!!

How are You? 🙂

Today, we have a bit sharing about……Turkey

‘Business Etiquette and Protocol

Relationships & Communication

• Turks prefer to do business with those they know and respect, therefore spend time establishing a personal relationship.
• Relationships are fostered in the office, over extended lunches, dinners, and social outings.
• Courtesy is crucial in all business dealings.
  Turks do not require as much personal space as many other cultures and will stand close to you while conversing.
• Do not back away, as this can be construed as unfriendly.
• Discussions may start slowly, with many questions that may seem irrelevant to the purpose of your visit. It is extremely rude to insist that your colleagues get to the point.
• Ask about his/her family without prying. Questions about children will be welcomed.
• The Turks are proud of their country and will enjoy answering questions on their culture and history although be sure to avoid political history.
• Most Turkish men love football (soccer) and usually support one of three teams: Galatasaray, Beþiktaþ or Fenerbahçe. Asking after their team’s recent fortunes will always produce lively and animate responses.
• Once a relationship has been established, communication is direct.
  It is vital that you maintain eye contact while speaking since Turks take this as a sign of sincerity.

 

According to Meet Marla from Business Etiquette international said that our mission is to enhance our clients understanding of civility, etiquette and respect towards one another and other cultures. from this statement counsellor should be knowledgeable about Business Etiquette of some country because some client does not know how to adapt toward other cultures. So, the task of counsellor is to make client understand on other Etiquettes. Moreover, to help others master the soft skills and techniques of business etiquette and protocol intelligence so clients can achieve a competitive edge through the art of diplomacy. We achieve this by giving clients the confidence and polish to Act Well and Do Well in any business environment

COLOURS ACCORDING TO CULTURE AND PSYCHOLOGY!

Assalamualaikum and hai everyone.

For this entry, we would like to share with you guys about the type of colours that we should wear everyday according to several cultures and belief. It is quite interesting topic where we can know how they choose the colours for each day and for what reason. So, stay tune guys….

Many cultures believe that there are colors associated with each day of the week. For example, in Thailand, the Queen actually used to wear colored dresses conforming to the color of the day.

Likewise, other Asian cultures such as those in India and Cambodia also followed Astrological beliefs alongside Buddhism and Hinduism. In India, astrologers as well as Ayurvedic (the ancient medicine system) practitioners associate a color with each day.

All these cultures believe that each day of the week is associated either with a planet or with a deity. So it makes sense to attach a day with a color.

Here are some colors of the week according to Hindu traditions.

• Sunday– Hindus believe it is auspicious to wear Red on Sunday. People also offer red flowers to Surya or the Sun God. Many keep a fast on this day eating just one meal, before sunset.
• Monday– As per Hinduism, Monday’s color is Yellow, though people who fast also wear White on this day. Lord Shiva is the deity associated with this day of the week so people often offer White flowers to this God. Monday is also associated with the Moon and colors linked to it are silver, light gray or blue.
• Tuesday– Pink is the color linked with Tuesday. In Hindu culture, this day is associated with the Monkey God or Lord Hanuman and people who fast and pray to this Lord can also wear Red. The day is also linked with Mars-the angry planet-which can be appeased by wearing Pink.
• Wednesday– Green is the color of the day for Wednesday. Wednesday is associated with Lord Vitthal as well as Budha (not Buddha) which is the deity linked with Jupiter. Both Budha and Vitthal like Green.
• Thursday– People wear Orange or Yellow on this day. As per Hindu culture, this day is the day of Lord Vishnu who is known to wear Yellow.
• Friday– Friday color is Blue (Sea green or aquamarine are also acceptable). The day is also associated with Goddess Shakti who prefers White. So Hindus wear either color on these days.
• Saturday-Wear the color of the royalty-Purple though you can also wear black, indigo, mauve or dark grey, all of which are associated with wrath of Shani (Saturn). People in Indian villages also visit Shani shrines and make offerings of black oil, black sesame seeds and donate black clothes.

Color of the day- astrology explained

Indian astrologers believe that the clues to the colors of the week come from the Sanskrit names of the planets and corresponding deities associated with them.

Sunday is Ravivar– Ravi being the Sun God or Surya. Hindus believe that this God presides over Sunday. Likewise, Chandra or Soma is associated with Somvar or Monday and is the Sanskrit name of the Moon God. Mangala is the Sanskrit name for planet Mars which influences Tuesday or Mangalvar. Budha (not to be confused with Buddha) is the God associated with Wednesday and also the Sanskrit name for Mercury. Brihsapati is the regent of Jupiter and associated with Thursday or Guruvar. Friday is linked with Shukra or Venus. Shani represents Shanivar or Saturday and is the son of Surya embodied in Saturn. Both Thai and Indian cultures recommend choosing colors of the clothing based on these associations.

Meanings of colors of the week as per Thai traditions for the army;

In the past, Thai astrologers recommended the colors of the week to soldiers going to wars based on the luck associated with those colors:

• Sunday-Red-is auspicious and lucky
• Monday-Yellow for long life
• Tuesday-Purple is lucky for Tuesday
• Wednesday-Yellow Red or multi colored
• Thursday-Yellow-green
• Friday-Bluish gray
• Saturday-Black is terrifying to the enemy

The above color tradition remained in force for several centuries.

Many Asian cultures believe that by wearing specific colors associated with the days of the week, one can avoid bad luck and troubles and bring prosperity and wealth into their lives.

The Psychology and Meaning of Colors

What is it about the rainbow that gives most people a sense of happiness? Sure, it signifies the calm after a storm, but the colors themselves have an effect on our minds.

There is a reason why people prefer certain colors over others. This preference says volumes about our personalities, because each color has an association with a reaction our brain has when we internalize it.

Color psychology is a well-known, yet less explored branch of the study of how our brain perceives what it visualizes. As far as scientific research goes, there is not much to work with. However, the impact that colors have on our brains is used to manipulate our decision making by multiple facets of society.

Personality Based on Color:

Red

• Associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as we ll as passion, desire, and love.
• Enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure.
• It attracts attention more than any other color, at times signifying danger.

Orange

• Combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow.
• Associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics.
• Represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success,
  encouragement, and stimulation.

Yellow

• Associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.
• Produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates
  muscle energy.
• Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color.
• When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect.
• It is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.
• Yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yell ow was connected with cowardice.

Green

• Color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility.
• Strong emotional correspondence with safety.
• Dark green is also commonly associated with money.
• Has great healing power.
• Green suggests stability and endurance.
• Color of the sea. It is often associated with depth and stability.
• Symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
• Considered beneficial to the mind and body.
• Slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect.
• Strongly associated with tranquility and calmness.
• Used to symbolize piety and sincerity.

Purple

• Combines the stability of blue and the energy of red.
• Associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition.
• Conveys wealth and extravagance.
• Associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

White

• Associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity.
• Considered to be the color of perfection.
• Signifies safety, purity, and cleanliness.
• Usually has a positive connotation.
• Can represent a successful beginning.
• Depicts faith and purity.

Black

• Associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.
• A mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes).
• Usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor, ‘black death’).
• Denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and    prestigious color.
• The symbol of grief.

Color is, simply stated, broken down white light. This is a dissection of light at different wavelengths and each wavelength is perceived as a separate color. Objects tend to absorb or reflect these wavelengths, so when we see a yellow lemon, it is the yellow wavelength that is being reflected while all others are being absorbed. Now that we have understood what color means, let’s explore some of the ways it influences our mood.

We feel color. How or what we feel about it varies from person to person. Some colors give us a sense of serenity and calm;these usually lie within the blue side of the spectrum-that consists of purple and green too, known as the cool side. Others induce rage and make us uncomfortable, or signify passion; these lie within the red spectrum-which includes orange and yellow, known as the warm side.

So, that is all from us for this entry. We hope that you guys can choose the colours that can make your day more efficient and effective.

See you guys later and take care…

DEEP BREATHING TECHNIQUE!

Assalamualaikum everyone…

For this week, we would like to share with you guys about deep breathing technique. As we know that we slowly have come to the end of this semester and most of students will experience a tough situation right now where all the submission of assignments are around the corner.

So, this is one of the methods that everyone should practice it when having in a difficult or stress situation. Deep breathing technique also is one of the relaxation techniques that seems to be effective when the person do it correctly.

It really help in reducing stress and make a person more relax. It is free of charge and it can be done whenever and wherever we are.

Here is the steps on how to do the deep breathing technique:

#The key to do deep breathing is to breathe deeply from the abdomen, getting as much fresh air as possible in your lungs.

#When you take deep breaths from the abdomen, rather than shallow breaths from your upper chest, you inhale more oxygen.

#The more oxygen you get, the less tense, short of breath, and anxious you feel.

• Sit comfortably with your back straight. Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.
• Breathe in through your nose. The hand on your stomach should rise. The hand on your chest should move very little.
• Exhale through your mouth, pushing out as much air as you can while contracting your abdominal muscles. The hand on your stomach should move in as you exhale, but your other hand should move very little.
• Continue to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try to inhale enough so that your lower abdomen rises and falls. Count slowly as you exhale.

#If you find it difficult breathing from your abdomen while sitting up, try lying down.

#Put a small book on your stomach, and breathe so that the book rises as you inhale and falls as you exhale.

With its focus on full, cleansing breaths, deep breathing is a simple yet powerful relaxation technique. It is easy to learn, can be practiced almost anywhere, and provides a quick way to get your stress levels in check.

Deep breathing is the cornerstone of many other relaxation practices, too, and can be combined with other relaxing elements such as aromatherapy and music. All you really need is a few minutes and a place to stretch out.

So, we hope this information will be benefits for those who is experiencing stress or uncomfortable situation right now…

Okay see you guys later…Take care… Bye…

Do and Don’t in Turkey

Assalamualaikum….. Everyone, How are you?

How was your mid semester break ?

Today we have a bit sharing

On….

 Do and Don’t in Turkey culture and why we as a counselor should know the Cultural Sensitivity?

The Importance Of Cultural Sensitivity In Counseling;
Culturally sensitive counseling which may also be raised to as culturally competent or multicultural counseling stresses the healthcare professional’s understanding of a patient’s ethnicity, background, and belief system. Incorporating cultural sensitivity into their profession can help mental health counselors accommodate and respect differences in values, opinions, and attitudes of various cultures and types of people.

“While some therapists argue that highlighting differences between individuals may offend some clients, and therefore damage the therapeutic relationship, it is generally believed that openly showing respect for someone’s culture and beliefs can result in more effective treatment and a more positive outcome for both client and therapist,” according to Psychology Today.

Moreover, The Association for Multicultural Counselling and Development (AMCD) shares three key competencies that should be achieved in multicultural counselling, including:

Counsellor awareness of own cultural values and biases
Mental health counsellors must be cognizant of their own cultural beliefs or biases that could impact their practice. To expand their skills, they must acknowledge the effects of oppression, discrimination, racism, and stereotyping. Counsellors should also seek additional learning opportunities that will allow them to develop their understanding of various cultural populations.

Counsellor awareness of client worldview
Counsellors need to recognize that their clients’ views of the world differ from their own. To gain this recognition, counsellors must be aware of their own emotional reactions to other ethnic and racial groups, understand the populations with whom they work, and be familiar with culturally appropriate research.

Culturally appropriate intervention strategies
Culturally competent counsellors respect their clients’ values, beliefs, religious views, languages, and indigenous practices. They need to understand the impact of therapy on different cultural groups. Mental health counsellors should also maintain knowledge of hierarchy, family dynamics, discriminatory practices, and biases in assessments that may impact their clients. Culturally skilled counsellors have the ability to engage in verbal and non-verbal communication that transcends nationality or race and eliminates prejudice.

 

This is what we had interview one of my friends from Turkey, he is Muhammad Taha

The question that was asked ;” can you tell us what can do and don’t in your country?”

He replied as below;

Imm I think its just like that as I can say
DO`s
• Do Dress Appropriately
• Do bargain.
• Do pay for the whole meal if you initiated an invitation. Splitting the bill if you invited your guest is considered rude in Turkey
• Accept the tea offers
Don’ts
• Don’t make negative remarks about Kemal Atatürk, the Turkish Republic’s Founding Father.
• Do remember that burping, picking your teeth and blowing your nose in a restaurant of café is considered to be impolite in Turkey.
• Don’t take pictures of people without asking permission.
• Public displays of affection are not considered appropriate in Turkey.
• Don’t get into an argument about football or politics with the locals, they will vin
• Don’t point someone with your finger, they may come and say “what is your problem?”
