Multimedia materials are considered to be an essential component of the educational process. As information technologies evolve, new types of animation-based multimedia learning materials have emerged and taken its place in the educational arena. This study investigates first-year undergraduate students’ perceptions towards the animation-based learning of basic concepts of electronics. The case study research was adopted for the study. Twelve students engaged in using multimedia learning materials, which were developed by the researcher, as supplementary to a onesemester course titled “Basic Electronic and Electronic Components.” The in-depth analysis of the data stemming from interviews and survey resulted in six themes: design components of the animation-based multimedia materials, implementation to other electronic subjects, appropriateness of the animation-based multimedia materials, challenges, benefits of using animation-based multimedia materials, and suggestions. Animation-based multimedia materials prove to be beneficial, interactive and engaging in helping students learn basic concepts about electronics. The findings of the study might have important implications for the instructors, multimedia content developers, and instructional designers.

A software environment forbehavior-basedmobile robot control Bekmen, Onur; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Robotic science can be defined as a modern multi-disciplinary branch of science, which hosts many technological elements with a huge theoretic base. From electrical and electronics engineering point of view, construction of intelligent agents that produce and/or collects information by interacting the surrounding environment and that can achieve some goal via learning, is investigated in robotic science. In this scope, behavior-based robotic control has emerged in recent years, which can be defined as a hie...
Development of a tool for web based control engineering education Ciğeroğlu, Hüseyin; Yüksel, Önder; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) It is obvious that learning is more productive with visual mediums and simulations. Especially in technical subjects, this approach is more important. Visual modification of parameters in a control system provides many benefits both in analyzing the system and in learning process. Additionally if this material is published on the internet, students can reach anywhere anytime to this material. This thesis describes a Web-based system developed for control engineering education for both the instructor and the...
Assessment of high school physics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge related to the teaching of electricity Bahçıvan, Eralp; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk; Yıldırım, Ufuk; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The main purpose of this study is to assess pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of in-service physics teachers about electricity topic in high school level by developing a paper-and-pencil instrument consisting of open-ended items. The instrument was developed with four different implementations by administration to the 278 in-service physics teachers. An exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis including only PCK items was conducted in validation processes. The relations among teachers’ job satisfactio...
Implementation of a risc microcontroller using fpga Gümüş, Raşit; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis a microcontroller core is developed in an FPGA. Its instruction set is compatible with the microcontroller PIC16XX series by Microchip Technology. The microcontroller employs a RISC architecture with separate busses for instructions and data. Our goal in this research is to implement and evaluate the design in the FPGA. Increasing performance and gate capacity of recent FPGA devices permits complex logic systems to be implemented on a single programmable device. Such a growing complexity dema...
A low-cost uncooled infrared detector array and its camera electronics Akçören, Dinçay; Akın, Tayfun; Eminoğlu, Selim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) This thesis presents the development of integrated readout electronics for diode type microbolometers and development of external camera electronics for microbolometers. The developed readout electronics are fabricated with its integrated 160x120 resolution FPA (Focal Plane Array) in the XFAB SOI-CMOS 1.0 μm process. The pixels in the FPA have 70 μm pixel pitch, and they are sensitive in the 8–12 μm band of the infrared spectrum. Each pixel has 4 serially connected diodes, and diode turn on voltage changes ...
