For over 30 years, researchers have engaged in inquiry within the Models and Modelling Perspective (MMP), taking as a fundamental principle that learners’ ideas develop in coherent conceptual systems called models. Under appropriate conditions, such as in Model Eliciting Activities (MEAs), this research has shown how learners’ models can grow through rapid cycles of development toward solutions involving creative mathematics. These externalized models, and other thought-revealing artifacts, can become rich objects for reflection by learners, for formative assessment by teachers, and for analysis of idea-development by researchers. This chapter describes a new research effort to expand the reach of this MMP tradition, engaging questions about the interconnected models and modelling processes of students and teachers at larger, course-length scales.

Enhancing creativity in the concept generation phase : implementation of black box as a tool for analogical reasoning Ertoptamış, Özge; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2007) In recent years, the field of design has met new grounds with the growing awareness among design researchers of the potential relationships between cognitive studies of creativity and computational modeling. The turn of the studies has given rise to the emergence of a new paradigm of modeling and understanding mental processes in creative design. This study tries to gain further insight into the creative occurrence by blending virtual experiences with designer actions in a model of creative thinking in conc...
Rethinking the assessment of the quality of teacher refection by validating an innovative vignette‑based instrument and an analytic coding scheme Yilmaz, Elanur; Akar, Hanife (2022-07-01) This study introduces the development of a new, transferable, customizable, authentic, and analytic framework for addressing different dimensions of teacher reflection. Given the emphasis on teacher reflection as a socially situated practice spawned by cognitive and affective aspects, this study covers four dimensions (i.e., breadth, depth, dialog, and affectivity). Ultimately and importantly, this empirical study constructs and validates an innovative vignette-based instrument and its analytic coding schem...
Fostering Creative Cognition In Design Education: A Comparative Analysis Of Algorithmic And Heuristic Educational Methods In Basic Design Education Çiğdem, Zeynep; Ürey, Uysal (2021-6-8) This research aims to examine the impact of algorithmic and heuristic educational methods in basic design education in an attempt to see their effects on the development of the creative cognition of students. The impact of educational methods in the development of creativity and creative problem-solving ability in design education has been addressed by a limited number of studies. The impact of algorithmic and heuristic educational methods in basic design education, on the other hand, has not been studied a...
Understanding consumer innovativeness via theory of goal directed behavior: an investigation of factors affecting adoption of online games Baybaş, Gülnur; Yılmaz, Cengiz; Department of Business Administration (2015) This study aims to analyze the factors behind adoption of online games, using a theoretical foundation based mostly on the theory of goal-directed behavior and diffusion of innovations model. Factors affecting the adoption behavior are determined on the basis of the goal directed behavior theory, and differences between adopter categories of online game buyers are investigated by applying Rogers’ diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory. Online survey was conducted to reach target group by using social media a...
An Embodied and extended cognitive dynamic field theory (dft) model for piloting tasks supported with flight records Kaygusuz, Yasin; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2015) The DFT modeling employs the dynamical systems approach to model the human motor and sensory stimulus unified with cognitive behavior. Since the DFT model includes the embodiment already embedded into the model, it can be easily used to generate task oriented robotic behavior similar to human activities including cognition. In this study the navigation trajectories of an aircraft with a pilot will be modeled using the DFT approach. The model will include the embodiment of the human mind into the body of the...
