Critical participatory action research: A design to empower women in a teacher education institution
Sadık, Olgun (2019-06-01)
This paper discusses historical and meta-theoretical aspects of action research by defining what action research (AR), participatory action research (PAR) and critical participatory action (CPAR) mean in detail and explains a CPAR project idea in a teacher education institution. Action research was categorized under different names; however, all those different approaches represent the same foundations with different purposes. In action research, a group of people work with a researcher(s) to identify a pro...
The Heuristic role of questions in the formation of research programmes: Copernicus’s heliocentric system
Altuğ, Sezen; Bağçe, Samet; Department of Philosophy (2016)
The aim of this thesis is to develop a critical view about the notion of the heuristic in Lakatos’s methodology of research programmes. The heuristic is tried to be sterilized from its defects with an insight derived from different forms of theories dealing with questions. For that reason, a short survey which includes Socratic dialogues, Hintikka’s theory of interrogative games, van Fraassen’s theory of why-questions, and Laudan’s analogy between science and problem-solving activity is introduced. As a res...
Social identification and altruism in diverse teams
Acar, Feride Pınar (Inderscience Publishers, 2014-01-01)
This paper investigates social identity and altruism in diverse teams. Past research identifies cooperative and altruistic behaviour as essential for team effectiveness. An important question concerns the extent to which individuals, as they interact with demographically dissimilar team members, will display altruism. This question is addressed drawing upon relational demography research and a social identity approach. The present study posits that identification with demographic subgroups within a diverse ...
A survey on OR and mathematical methods applied on gene-environment networks
Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Kropat, Erik; Öztürk, Başak; Gorgulu, Zafer-Korcan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-09-01)
In this paper, we survey the recent advances and mathematical foundations of gene-environment networks. We explain their interdisciplinary implications with special regard to human and life sciences as well as financial sciences. Special attention is paid to applications in Operational Research and environmental protection. Originally developed in the context of modeling and prediction of gene-expression patterns, gene-environment networks have proved to provide a conceptual framework for the modeling of dy...
AN ALGORITHM FOR THE COMMITTEE CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM
CEYLAN, D; SAATCIOGLU, O; SEPIL, C (Elsevier BV, 1994-08-25)
This paper presents an approach to the problem of committee construction for Associate Professorship promotions. In Turkey, the promotion to the 'Associate Professor' title is centrally organized by the Interuniversity Council. The Interuniversity Council assigns an evaluation committee to each applicant. Each applicant is then examined by the committee based on his/her publications and background. The problem is, how to form juries in order to maximize the match of background of the jury members and the ca...
