The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey is the major academic research management and funding agency in Turkey. As a policy-maker, the council has undertaken very important responsibility in designing a science and technology policy of Turkey. By means of impact analysis, evaluating the ongoing research support programmes is important for designing more effective ones. However, impact of academic research are widely disseminated, journal articles being published and cited, number of academic staff involved in the supported projects, patents, and prototypes could be used as an evaluation instrument for impact analysis. In this study first time, we have figured out the social benefits (in 2008 TL fixed prices) of academic research projects, specifically physics academic research projects that were supported during 1998-2008 by TÜBİTAK. Return of funds of TÜBİTAK supported physics projects during 2005-2008 was calculated as 142%, when rate of return was taken 28%.

The comparison of finnish and Turkish physics curricula
Ustun, Ulas (2010-02-08)
In Turkey, after revisions in science and technology curricula in elementary education, the development of new secondary physics curricula has been finished very recently. These new curricula include some innovations in different aspects. On the other hand, Finland is one of the counties that present very successful results in PISA Science Scales. The main purpose of this study is to compare Turkish and Finnish Physics Curricula in terms of different aspects by using content analysis, observation in Finnish...
A Review Study on the Integration of Technology into Foreign Language Education in Turkey
Zengin, Özlem; Aksu, Meral (2017-01-01)
The main objective of this study was to portray a synthesis of educational research in Turkey in terms of technology integration into foreign language teaching and learning in Turkey. To this end, a comprehensive literature search was done, which was limited to the years between 2005 and 2016 via electronic databases. As a result of this search, forty-seven resources including both articles and thesis dissertations were found. The descriptive and content analysis of the findings in these studies suggested t...
Documentation and examination of historic building materials for the purpose of conservation : case study, part of the walls at the citadel of Ankara
Tokmak, Musa; Saltık, Emine Nevin; Department of Archaeometry (2005)
The study aimed to identify deterioration problems, repair and conservation needs of andesites on the walls of the Ankara Castle. Decay forms of walls were documented by visual examination. Samples taken from the surface of the weathered andesites were examined for their basic physical, mechanical compositional and minerological properties. The bulk density and total porosity were determined as basic physical properties. The mechanical properties were expressed as ultrasonic velocity and modulus of elastici...
A Review of the Research on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: The Case of Turkey
Baran, Evrim; BİLİCİ, SEDEF CANBAZOĞLU (2015-01-01)
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework has played an important role in rethinking current teacher education and technology practices both in Turkey and around the world. Due to the recent increase in the number of research studies conducted on TPACK in Turkey, there has been an emerging need to investigate the research on TPACK to evaluate the current literature as well as to guide future research studies. To help better inform teacher educators and researchers, the authors embarked u...
The Comparison of Institutional Frameworks Regarding Risk Management for Conservation of Cultural Heritage by Focusing on UNESCO World Heritage Sites: The Cases of the UK, Japan and Turkey
Uluç, Aynur; Şenol Balaban, Meltem (2019-12-01)
The aim of this study is to investigate different institutional frameworks that deals with the management of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (hereafter WHS) under the threats of natural and technological hazards in other countries in comparison with Turkey. While doing this it is also aimed to figure out the factors that threat those sites. In this regard, first of all the international agenda regarding the conservation of cultural heritage in relation to risk management are discussed. Then, three different cou...
