In this paper we showcase the importance of understanding and measuring interdisciplinarity and other -disciplinarity concepts for all scientists, the role social sciences have historically played in NASA research and missions, the sparsity of social science interdisciplinarity in space and planetary sciences, including astronomy and astrophysics, while there is an imperative necessity for it, and the example of interdisciplinarity between social sciences and astrobiology. Ultimately we give voice to the scientists across all fields with respect to their needs, aspirations and experiences in their interdisciplinary work with social sciences through an ad-hoc survey we conducted within the Astro2020 Decadal Survey scientific community.

THE EFFECT OF ENGINEERING DESIGN-BASED SCIENCE INSTRUCTION ON 6TH-GRADE STUDENTS’ ASTRONOMY UNDERSTANDINGS AND ENGINEER CAREER INTERESTS
Başpınar, Pınar; Çakıroğlu, JAle; Department of Science Education (2022-12-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of engineering design-based science education on 6th-grade students' understanding of astronomy concepts and engineer career interests. The study was administered to 6th-grade students (N=37) in a public school which is located in Kilis, Merkez. Using the convenient sampling method, a school was determined among the public schools in the Merkez district of Kilis, which was determined as the sample of the study. The study was operated as a one group pre-te...
THE COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING DISCIPLINE EDUCATION SYSTEMS: FOCUSING ON STUDIO EDUCATION
Aydın, Neşe; Uluç, Aynur (2018-07-10)
City and regional planning is a complex scientific era where different scientific fields as social and natural sciences interact with each other. Planning is an open system, it couldn’t be taken into account separately from external influences, it cannot be isolated where outside factors are neutralized and it is not one mechanism operating alone and it is affected by other mechanisms. Therefore, planning education system can change from one country to another or even from one university to another in the s...
The pedagogy of argumentation in science education: science teachers' instructional practices
Yilmaz, Yasemin Ozdem; Çakıroğlu, Jale; ERTEPINAR, HAMİDE; ERDURAN, Sibel (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
Argumentation has been a prominent concern in science education research and a common goal in science curriculum in many countries over the past decade. With reference to this goal, policy documents burden responsibilities on science teachers, such as involving students in dialogues and being guides in students' spoken or written argumentation. Consequently, teachers' pedagogical practices regarding argumentation gain importance due to their impact on how they incorporate this practice into their classrooms...
Thermodynamical parasitic forces in high precision accelerometers on board of a drag-free satellite
Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (Elsevier BV, 2004-03-15)
High-resolution accelerometers and gradiometers on board of drag-free satellites are employed in different scientific space missions. The applications range from experiences in fundamental physics to the earth's observations associated with the precise orbit determination of low earth's orbiter (LEO) particularly in context with the autonomous navigation and the determination of the short wavelength part of the earth's gravity field which is an important topic of satellite Geodesy. A satellite flying drag-f...
The Lukash plane-wave attractor and relative energy
Korunur, Murat; Salti, Mustafa; Aydogdu, Oktay (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2007-07-10)
We study energy distribution in the context of teleparallel theory of gravity, due to matter and fields including gravitation, of the universe based on the plane-wave Bianchi VII(delta) spacetimes described by the Lukash metric. For this calculation, we consider the teleparallel gravity analogs of the energy momentum formulations of Einstein, Bergmann-Thomson and Landau-Lifshitz. We find that Einstein and Bergmann-Thomson prescriptions agree with each other and give the same results for the energy distribut...
