The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework that demonstrates the role of aesthetic properties in stimulating emotional experiences. The framework is constructed as the answer to the question: "What are the consequences of the stimulus of aesthetic properties on product related emotions and experiences?”. The focus of the study is in investigating the links between the visual qualities of the products and the emotional experiences. The immediate sensorial experiences transpire during the initial steps of the relationship between human and the product. These experiences are the results of the interaction between the visual qualities and the sense of sight, inevitably influencing the emotional evaluation process of the interaction. This initial interaction stimulates long-lasting emotions and perceptions related to the product that provide inferences on prospective experiences, the quality of the continuing interaction, and induced feelings. The perception about the product is the key path leading to creating emotional experiences since different perceptions stimulate different emotions filtered through different experiences about the same product. Thus, it becomes essential to disclose the nature of the connections between the two parts of the initial interaction; human and aesthetic properties of the product. An empirical study is performed to present emotional evaluations of the subjects when they are exposed to a product for the first time.

Exploration of design for cohabitation with nature through nature experience (NEX)
Demir, Çiğdem; Kaygan, Harun; Department of Industrial Design (2019)
This thesis aims to suggest an approach to design for human and nature cohabitation. For this aim, this study situates human and nature interaction as nature experience (NEX) by applying user experience design. The fieldwork of this study is small interview groups conducted with young people from nature-related professional backgrounds. Based on the literature review and findings of the fieldwork, this thesis suggests five main conclusions. Firstly, nature is a socio-ecological-cultural system. Secondly, na...
Analysis of the narrative constructed around products : a case study on tupperware products
Karademir Arun, Banu; Işık Tüneri, Figen; Department of Industrial Design (2007)
This study primarily aims to examine the ways in which the social and cultural meanings are utilized to construct a narrative around a product. Thus, a narrative analysis is employed by conducting a case study on Tupperware products, mainly due to the recognition that a comprehensive narrative, which is elaborated by social and cultural meanings, is constructed around Tupperware products because of the unique retailing technique.
Material Semiotics of Form Giving: The Case of the Electric Turkish Coffee Pot
Kaygan, Harun (MIT Press - Journals, 2016-03-01)
The article discusses material semiotics as a valuable framework for the analysis of design processes, and focuses on form giving practices. For this purpose, the design processes of electric Turkish coffee pots are studied through interviews and document analyses. It is argued that neither form giving nor product form can be considered to be singular or stable throughout a design process, and that semantic and material relations that are built and maintained around the product form need to be traced for a ...
The Effect of Problem-Based Learning on Self-Regulated Learning: A Review of Literature
TAŞ, Yasemin; Sungur, Semra (2012-01-01)
The purpose of this paper is threefold. Firstly, self-regulated learning is described from the social cognitive perspective and why self-regulated learning should be targeted in schools is discussed. Secondly, problem-based learning is proposed to facilitate self-regulated learning. Literature on the effects of problem-based learning on students' self-regulated learning in K-12 science classes is reviewed. An empirical base for how particular aspects of problem-based learning can improve students' self-regu...
Design as a Collaborative Process A Systematic and Constructive Model for Developing Play Material for Blind Visually Impaired Preschool Children
Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z. (2002-05-14)
This paper discusses a design process lived through, during the application of a model derived from design methodology and devised towards attaining a particular task. The task was: Designing a play system to contribute to the pre-school blind child’s development of object permanence, sense of self, and spatial concepts. The model employed was based on a systematic and constructive framework towards ensuring consciously made decisions. The paper also discusses the field-testing in play situations of the sys...
