INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATION Dear students; This book has been written in order to increase the awareness of you, our valuable teacher candidates, who will be the architects of the next generation, about the teaching profession and to introduce you to the wide range of study areas related to educational sciences. It is vitally important that teacher candidates are well educated, since teaching has a key role in achieving the goals of educational activities. This book has been evaluated from a historical, psychological, economic, sociological, philosophical, political and legal perspective which are the basic concepts of educational sciences. After general information, "teaching profession" was discussed as a profession and the Turkish education system was evaluated in the context of management. Finally, by adding current issues in the field of educational sciences, it is aimed to gain a universal perspective to the teaching profession. With the questions added at the end of each chapter, it was aimed to see the learning level and to understand the subjects more deeply with the reading passages added to some sections.

DESIGN PRACTICES BASED ON UNDERSTANDING(UbD) In the teaching process, two basic false beliefs appear as important obstacles to understanding. One of them is that success in central exams is seen as an indicator of effective teaching and therefore, achieving success in central exams is a goal in teaching. Another false belief is that the purpose of teaching is to gain content. This situation causes teachers to aim to convey the content, make an effort to catch the curriculum and measure the content knowledge. However, permanent learning of the student is possible only by understanding and it is a multi-dimensional concept beyond knowing. Understanding Based Design (UbD) provides meaningful learning by incorporating all dimensions of understanding, aiming to develop students' 21st century skills, supporting their individual differences, revealing their performance, and providing students with the opportunity to transfer information to real life. This book is a guide for teachers, academics and graduate students who want to make an UbD. It is an original book in the field of instructional design in terms of covering the applications within the context of the 5th Grade Social Studies Course alongside the theoretical information about UbD. The book includes the UbD design examples of the 5th Grade Social Studies Lesson units as well as the application results of the designs in İzmir and Kahramanmaraş. In this way, it is thought that the book will guide not only Social Studies teachers, but also educators who want to design UbD and make the teaching process qualified and facilitating.

DESIGNER TEACHER UbD HANDBOOK The starting point of this book is to create a roadmap to guide teachers in their journey to create a designer teacher identity within the framework of the UbD instructional design model. The readership of the book consists of teacher candidates, teachers and education administrators from all branches and levels. For teachers and teacher candidates, the book will provide both theoretical and practical contributions to design skills, student-centered application examples, criteria for evaluating a good design, application examples of different teaching methods and techniques, process and result-oriented assessment and evaluation types. On the other hand, the book, for managers, will be a guide in establishing, maintaining, evaluating and developing a school-based development model on institutional basis. In addition, the process of UbD-based instructional design studies is expected to contribute to the establishment of the institutional curriculum archive through the collaboration of teachers and administrators, sharing and production.

IDIOMS ARE SPEAKING With idioms, which are one of the most important ways of expressing a lot with few words based on conciseness, we can both put the past of the society, life style and general expressions of the language in our minds in a latent way, and we can provide an easy and more effective expression of difficult situations by adding agility to the narration. Apart from being the richness of a language, idioms should not be cursory in schools, considering that they add agility, warmth, sophistication and charm to writing and speech. In order to understand the expressions, it should not be overlooked that expressions should not be contented with only explanatory expressions and the necessity of adapting to daily life with various methods. In this respect, we believe that our work will help our esteemed colleagues and parents in order for children to learn the idioms more effectively and permanently.
