Where do we [teachers and trainers] go now?.

2020-10-16
Political and economic wars, natural and nuclear disasters, pollution of natural resources, extinction of animals, racist/fundamentalist/nationalist movements, terrorism… What was next? I was personally expecting to see a monster or an alien, just like the ones in action movies. The monster/alien has come in the form of a virus, which has had a global impact on every aspect of life and especially on education since the beginning of 2020. Teachers, in every corner of the world, had to adapt to a new way of life and a new way of teaching in a week, and the uncertainty seems to be with us longer than we ever imagined. So where do we go now? This presentation attempts to touch on the aspects that will never be the same again in education and training for all of its stakeholders and to suggest setting new goals and having a positive perspective.

Investigating preferences of households for residential photovoltaic systems: a survey study in Ankara, Turkey
Aslıhak, Eren; Özdemir, Özlem; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Department of Earth System Science (2016)
Climate change, a natural consequence of extensive usage of fossil fuels, emerges as the biggest human made catastrophe ever nowadays. Consequently, the need to increase the share of renewables in current energy demand became obvious. In this regard, solar energy emerges as the most abundant, widespread and sustainable source of energy in most parts of the World. On the other hand, relatively higher accounting costs, economic dislocation and social/cultural issues are among important barriers to form a resi...
Extending the lifespan of small kitchen appliances for sustainable design : a research on product maintenance and repair with technical services in Ankara
Terzioğlu, Nazlı Gökçe; Doğan, Çağla; Department of Industrial Design (2013)
Growing environmental issues from global climate change, contamination and depletion of renewable and non-renewable resources to waste disposal have been resulted from unsustainable production and consumption patterns. Most of the mass-produced products are designed and produced for short lifespans without considering environmental and social effects. Since small kitchen appliances are lower priced compared to other household appliances, when a part of the product is broken, the whole product is disposed of...
Non-native Fish Occurrence and Biomass in 1943 Western Palearctic Lakes and Reservoirs and their Abiotic and Biotic Correlates
Trochine, Carolina; Brucet, Sandra; Argillier, Christine; Arranz, Ignasi; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Benejam, Lluis; Ferreira, Teresa; Hesthagen, Trygve; Holmgren, Kerstin; Jeppesen, Erik; Kelly, Fiona; Krause, Teet; Rask, Martti; Volta, Pietro; Winfield, Ian J.; Mehner, Thomas (2018-04-01)
Invasion of non-native species is considered a major threat to global biodiversity. Here we present a comprehensive overview of the occurrence, richness and biomass contribution of non-native fish species in 1943 standing water bodies from 14 countries of the Western Palearctic, based on standardised fish catches by multi-mesh gillnetting. We expected strong geographical gradients to emerge in the occurrence of non-natives. We further hypothesised that the contribution by non-natives to the local fish commu...
Agriculture in urban areas as a socio-economic and townscape value : the case of Rize
Üstoğlu, Deniz; Günay, Baykan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2012)
Rapid urbanization, which is one of the major problems of contemporary era, created cities as the major destroying centers of nature and ecology by human beings. In this respect, urban agriculture takes place in urban areas as a new way to meet nature and urban for improving the quality of life in the last decades. Despite the belief that agricultural activities always take place in rural areas, agriculture in urban areas would provide citizens many opportunities in terms of social, economic and environment...
Evaluation indicators for selection of sustainable building materials
Canarslan, Özgecan; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2007)
Environmental issues have gained importance due to global environmental threat, such as depletion of energy resources and the impacts of climate change. The building sector is responsible for almost half of the impacts on the environment. Hence, this study focuses on the importance of environmental impacts of building materials. In this regard, firstly, sustainability indicators for building materials were determined and the environmental impacts of selected building materials were studied. Then, the evalua...
