Differentiated Function of School in Socio-Culturally Disadvantaged Context: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Study from Turkey Caliskan, Zuhal Zeybekoglu; Simsek, Hasan; Kondakçı, Yaşar (2017-09-01) This study analyses the functioning of a school as a social system in an atypical context with the purpose of generating propositions to tackle educational problems confronted by socially and economically disadvantaged groups attending these schools.

Developing bodily movement games to teach basic life skills for children with mental disabilities Nazirzadeh, Mohammad Javad; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2015) Students with mental disabilities often have trouble generalizing concepts and skills from one setting to another.

In this thesis, we propose a system to augment the environment for mentally disabled students in order to easily cope with life skills by game and fun. The games were developed for motion sensing input devices by fo...
