First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my parents, whose unconditional and constant support has been essential throughout this process. Their encouragement, trust, and patience gave me the strength to continue working on this research even during moments of doubt and exhaustion. Their belief in my abilities has always been a powerful motivation to move forward and to pursue my academic goals with responsibility and determination. I would also like to give special thanks to my beloved dog, who has been an important source of emotional support, providing comfort and calm during stressful moments, and to my cat, who faithfully accompanied me during many long nights of reading, writing, and reflection. Their presence brought warmth and balance to this process, reminding me of the importance of emotional well-being while facing academic challenges. My sincere gratitude also goes to my friends, a small but meaningful circle of people who truly believed in me. Their words of encouragement, understanding, and constant motivation helped me regain confidence when I felt overwhelmed or uncertain. Knowing that I was not alone made a significant difference in completing this stage of my thesis work. VII Finally, I would like to thank my university for providing academic training, guidance, and learning environment that allowed me to develop this research. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge myself, for believing in my abilities, for staying strong during challenging moments, and for continuously pushing forward even when the path seemed difficult. This journey has taught me resilience, self-confidence, and the value of perseverance. This work is the result of collective support, personal effort, and resilience. To everyone who contributed directly or indirectly to this process, my sincere appreciation.esProfessional TrainingEducationTeaching PracticeThesis
