This study reports on the results of a systematic literature review on 'open design' in academic fields including and beyond design and HCI. The review investigates how studies are framed as open design and open-source design (including 'open hardware'): how researchers contribute to conceptual theorizing about open design or study its practical operationalization, in do-it-yourself 'making,' manufacturing and practices in-between these domains. Most of the papers reviewed were empirical studies from diverse fields. Open design was analyzed not only as contributions and solutions, but also as open-to-participate processes, openly shared processes, and open, closed, and modular (open and closed) outcomes. Various research fields presented an open design framing as an alternative to the status quo: new ways to do business and/or to foster socio-environmental sustainability. On the manufacturing side, open design was sought especially to accelerate innovation cycles; on the making side, it was espoused to foster democratization. However, the studies reviewed indicated that companies do not appear to develop much beyond business-as-usual. From the research perspective, the conceptual potential of open design to promote sustainability saw little practical exploration. Additionally, issues around open design community governance and ownership, safety and reliability of open outcomes require further investigation.

Concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the information processing styles Baloğlu, Mustafa; Zelhart, PF (2000-12-01) To investigate concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of thr Information Processing Styles, 62 students majoring in social sciences evaluated the accuracy of the checklist in describing their dominant types. Each student had a friend who read the descriptions of thy dominant types(s) of the student and rated their perceived accuracy of that categorization. Analyses indicated the inventory is reliable and valid.
Assessing internationality of scholarly journals through foreign authorship patterns: the case of major journals in information science, and scientometrics Uzun, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-01-01) This article reports findings from a study of patterns of foreign authorship of articles, and international composition of journal editorial boards in five leading journals in the field of information science, and scientometrics. The study covers an American journal and four European journals. Bibliographic data about foreign authors and their national affiliation from five selected years of publication were analyzed for all journals. The foreign input of articles were extremely high in Information Processi...
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...
Comparative analysis of variability modelling approaches in component models Suloglu, Selma; Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Karamanlıoğlu, Alper; Entekhabi, Sina; Nikoo, Mahdi Saeedi; Tekinerdogan, Bedir; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2018-12-01) The results of a systematic literature review conducted for variability modelling in software component models are analysed and presented here. A well-planned protocol guided the screening of 3230 papers that resulted in the identification of 55 papers. Reviewing these papers, 23 of them were considered as primary studies related to our research questions. A comparison framework is introduced to further understand, assess, and compare those selected papers. Observations about the important aspects of compon...
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A QUESTION-ANSWER BASED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN THEORY Ataş, Amine Hatun; Yıldırım, Zahide (2017-11-18) The purpose of this study is to document design, development, and implementation of a question-answer based instructional design theory. Sigel and Saunders (1977) state that many studies report the benefits of asking questions and being asked questions as enhancing students' thinking and reflects students' thinking process. The impact of asking question or being asked questions are inevitably influential on learning. As students experience quality questions and questioning, their awareness of learning arise...
