Revisiting Design Thinking: A review of Definitions and Implications,

2017-07-01
Design thinking is a rising term in educational literature and role of design thinking in classrooms is one of current research subjects in these days. Design thinking a general approach that utilize the designer’s methods and sensibility to overcome problems in efficient and effective way in terms of technological and commercial aspects. In educational context, it is seen as a learning approach that mainly focuses on developing creative confidence of students. Before the emergence of design thinking, in educational literature design as a keyword has been one of the most used term in educational researches, as well. Design based learning, learning by design, reflective design based learning, learning technology by design are several examples. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize that whether design thinking is entirely new phenomena for educators or it is just the replication of previous design related learning approaches. In this paper, definition and current position of design thinking in the literature and relationship between design thinking and previous design related learning approaches has discussed. It is obtained that design thinking is sparkling phenomena yet it doesn’t completely new approach for educators and it has several similarities in both practice and theoretical perspective with earlier design-related educational studies.

Reconsidering architectural program within the framework of conjectures and refutations: the design studies journal
Özten, Ülkü; Özkar, Mine; Department of Architecture (2014)
The discussion of program in the field of history and theory of the Modern Movement in architecture enters a new period in the 1960s and 70s under the influence of the strong embodiment of science and technology in the field of design research. Beginning with this period, the idea of program arises both in a series of generations parallel to a specialized, sophisticated understanding of design and as an autonomous professional area of study. While the concept was being largely developed under the influence ...
Revisiting the fisher effect for developed and developing countries : a bounds test approach
Bacı, Duygu; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2007)
This study investigates the Fisher Effect for a sample of ten developed countries and ten developing countries. The study examines whether the nominal interest rate adjusts to the expected inflation rate in the long run. The distinction between the developed countries and developing countries also enables to identify special conditions under which Fisher Effect is more likely to hold. To analyze the long run relationship between the nominal interest rate and expected inflation rate, Bounds test approach of ...
Reconceptualizing the architectural precedent: textual models of reading
Beşeli Özkoç, Heves; Gür, Berin Fatma; Department of Architecture (2015)
The aim of this thesis is to reconceptualize the “architectural precedent” in a way to reveal its potentials as an instrument for architectural design and education. The main concern is to use the architectural precedent as a source of knowledge and form generation, but not as a model for functional problem solving. In order to generate new knowledge and form, the precedent should be read textually rather than formally. While formal reading reveals existing knowledge underlying the precedent, textual readin...
