The findings of a year-long programme carried out by a multidisciplinary engineering/conservation team are described. A mass-produced textile material that can be used to represent tapestries is identified and mechanical tests are detailed which demonstrate it behaves in a similar way to tapestry. The feasibility of using optical fibre sensors, full-field optical strain measurement techniques and thermography for monitoring tapestry degradation is assessed. The results of preliminary findings are presented and a rationale is developed for in-situ quantitative strain monitoring of tapestries.

Examining computer supported collaborative problem solving processes using the dual-eye tracking paradigm Uzunosmanoğlu, Selin Deniz; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Information Systems (2013) The aim of this study is to examine the computer supported collaborative problem solving processes. This study tries to identify which situations the participants' eye movements, and eye gazes overlap, and how the percentage of this overlap contribute to the collaborative problem solving process. Hypothesis of this study is that pairs whose eye movements overlap are more successful in collaboration than others. This study was conducted with 18 students from the Middle East Technical University. Participants...
An Investigation of the psychometric properties of a language assessment literacy measure Yılmaz, Fahri; Sağın Şimşek, Sultan Çiğdem; Department of English Language Teaching (2020) This study investigates the psychometric properties of a modified measure designed to assess the knowledge base of EFL teachers’ assessment literacy (AL). Using the data obtained from a sample of 4th grade pre-service EFL teachers from two state universities in Ankara, the psychometric properties of the measure were analysed by making use of several CTT-based and IRT-based analytical techniques. The findings indicate a good model fit, a presence of validity and high levels of reliability. Analyses of the sa...
A Review and Comparison of Diagnostic Instruments to Identify Students' Misconceptions in Science Gurel, Derya Kaltakci; Eryılmaz, Ali; MCDERMOTT, Lillian Christie (2015-10-01) Different diagnostic tools have been developed and used by researchers to identify students' conceptions. The present study aimed to provide an overview of the common diagnostic instruments in science to assess students' misconceptions. Also the study provides a brief comparison of these common diagnostic instruments with their strengths and weaknesses. A total of 273 articles published (from the year 1980 to 2014) in main journals were investigated thoroughly through document analysis method. The study rev...
Evaluation of the writing component of an English language teaching program at a public university: a case study Başaran, Oya; Daloğlu, Ayşegül; Department of English Language Teaching (2012) The purpose of this study is twofold: firstly, it aims to explore the perceptions of quality and quality assurance of key stakeholders in intensive English programs in higher education and examine how these perceptions reflect in what is being done to achieve and assure quality in their programs. Secondly, the study intends to survey and describe the existing quality assurance processes and explore the impact of these processes on establishing a quality culture within the institution. Furthermore, the study...
Evaluating learning management systems: Hexagonal e-learning assessment model (HELAM) Ozkan, Sevgi; Koseler, Refika; Baykal, Nazife (null; 2008-12-01) A considerable amount of research has been conducted on evaluating success of information systems. However, there has been little research addressing the conceptualization and measurement of elearning systems success within educational organizations. Evaluation of information systems within the growing e-learning sector is currently receiving attention, and this research study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, HELAM (Hexagonal e-Learning Assessment Model). HELAM has been applied to 23 e-lea...
