In this paper we discuss a specific result derived from a multiple case study. The case study involved implementation of IFPUG Function Point Analysis and COSMIC Functional Size Measurement methods in an innovative military software development project by different groups of experts. Application of these methods in a case that provides a number of size measurement challenges enabled us to observe significant improvement opportunities for the methodologies. In this paper, we depict the utilization of the entity generalization concept in two FSM methods and based on our observations we discuss the effects of different interpretations of the concept for measuring the software functional size.

The role of metacognition in students’ mental models of the quantization Didiş Körhasan, Nilüfer; Eryılmaz, Ali; Erkoç, Şakir (2018-09-01) As part of a multiphase study (Didiş et al., 2014; Didiş et al., 2016), this research focused on the effective issues on cognition, and it examined the role of metacognition in the construction of mental models. With the identification of students’ mental models of quantization of physical observables in the previous parts of the project, we considered metacognition theory to identify how knowledge about cognition influenced the construction of their mental models. Semi-structured interviews were conducted ...
The role of examples in the formation of concepts in mathematics Ubuz, Behiye (2000-04-01) This research presents a brief survey of literature on the use of examples and generic examples in concept formation, and the observation of these theoretical ideas in a number of exam papers. Explanatory insight is given to c1arify the situations in the exam papers. By focusing on the students' answers and the definition given on generic example definition, mainly two suggestions arise for the usage of generic examples. Firstly, the sequence of the exemplification may be in the order of all the generic exa...
The Effects of Test Length and Sample Size on Item Parameters in Item Response Theory Sahin, Alper; ANIL, DUYGU (2017-02-01) This study investigates the effects of sample size and test length on item-parameter estimation in test development utilizing three unidimensional dichotomous models of item response theory (IRT). For this purpose, a real language test comprised of 50 items was administered to 6,288 students. Data from this test was used to obtain data sets of three test lengths (10, 20, and 30 items) and nine different sample sizes (150, 250, 350, 500, 750, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 and 5,000 examinees). These data sets were the...
The role of culture and self-construal in autobiographical memories of US and Turkish college students Şahin Acar, Başak (Informa UK Limited, 2013-11-01) This study examined memory variables both cross-culturally and across four cultural self-construal types. US (N=240) and Turkish (N=174) college students described their earliest childhood memory, and another significant childhood memory, and completed the Balanced Integration-Differentiation (BID) Scale (Imamoglu, 1998; 2003), which measured relatedness and individuation, and allowed for the classification of students into four different self-construal types (Related-Individuated, Separated-Individuated, R...
The nature of integration among PCK components: A case study of two experienced chemistry teachers Aydın, Sevgi; Boz, Yezdan (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2013-01-01) In this qualitative case study, we examined the nature of integration among pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components. To attain the goal, two experienced chemistry teachers' teaching redox reactions and electrochemical cells was observed. The data were collected through card-sorting activity, content representation (CoRe) tool, observation, and interviews. The data analysis included three steps, namely; in-depth analysis, enumerative approach, and constant-comparative methods. Results reveal that know...
