In studying socio-spatial reality a prior understanding of some fundamental questions is essential: - How distinct, how similar and how homologous are social structure and spatial structure? - What type of framework allow us to see both of them together? - Would a structural study of one enable us to understand the structure of the other? - In case it is not possible to start with such a distinction (i.e. social structure/spatial structure), how else can socio-spatial reality be studied? In pursuit of such a study the initial definitions of society, space, environment, social structure and social system would prepare the grounds, and provide the fundamental conditions, for an understanding of sociospatial reality. Moreover, most of society-involving studies in architecture, planning and ecology do assume, but hardly make explicit, certain conceptions of society. If any use is expected from these studies their key concepts must be criticised and scrutinized.

Knowing Wrongly: An Obvious Oxymoron, or a Threat for the Alleged Universality of Epistemological Analyses? Baç, Mutlu Murat (2011-01-01) The traditional tripartite and tetrapartite analyses describe the conceptual components of propositional knowledge from a universal epistemic point of view. According to the classical analysis, since truth is a necessary condition of knowledge, it does not snake sense to talk about "false knowledge" or "knowing wrongly." There are nonetheless some natural languages in which speakers ordinarily make statements about a person's knowing a given subject matter wrongly. In this paper, we first provide a brief an...
Assessment of web-based courses: a discussion and analysis of learners individual difference and teaching-learning process Gülbahar, Yasemin; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2002) This study examined the role of individual differences and the quality of the teaching-learning process on learning outcomes in a web-based instructional environment, and explored the implications of these variables on the design, delivery and evaluation stages of web-based instruction. The subjects of this study were the students of two web-supported traditional courses, being one undergraduate and the other graduate, offered by the Computer Education and Instructional Technologies Department of METU. Fort...
The Second language processing of nominal compounds: a masked priming study Çelikkol Berk, Nurten; Kırkıcı, Bilal; Department of English Language Teaching (2018) The primary purpose of the present study was to understand the workings of the cognitive mechanisms underlying L2 morphological processing, and more particularly, to explore how noun-noun compounds in L2 English are processed by native speakers of Turkish in the earliest stages of word recognition. Furthermore, the study investigated the role of constituent morphemes in the processing of compound words and examined whether or not a compound word primes its first and second constituents equally. The final pu...
Understanding conceptual processes through identity judgments via behavioral and neurophysiological methods Çakar, Tuna; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2015) This dissertation aims to understand the cognitive and neural underpinnings of conceptual processes during identity judgments. Identity judgments are challenging philosophical problems that are influenced by several factors including spatiotemporal proximity and similarity. Initially, participants were asked to respond to a set of propositions (Conceptual Tendency Test, (CTT)) that were directly related to the core concept of identity, on a 5-point-Likert-scale (from 1 (totally agree”) to 5 (“totally disagr...
Relational Understanding of the Derivative Concept through Mathematical Modeling: A Case Study Sahin, Zulal; Yenmez, Arzu Aydogan; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2015-02-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate three second-year graduate students' awareness and understanding of the relationships among the "big ideas" that underlie the concept of derivative through modeling tasks and Skemp's distinction between relational and instrumental understanding. The modeling tasks consisting of warm-up, model-eliciting, and model-exploration activities were used to stimulate participants to reflect and construct ideas about the concept of change. The data indicated that the parti...
