Bu çalışmada matematik de ‘ortalamanın üstünde’, ‘ortalama’ ve ‘ortalamanın altında’ başarıya sahip öğrenciler üzerinde çalışılmıştır. Yüz yüze görüşme ile çokgenlerin belirlenmesinde şekilsel ve kavramsal boyutların etkileşimi gözlenmiştir. Şonuçların analizi göstermiştir ki (a) öğrenciler sıklıkla esas model (ilk örnek) şekilleri kullanıyorlar fakat onların özel (ayrıcalıklı) olduklarını düşünmüyorlar, ve (b) bir kavramın şekilde verilen kritik olmayan özelliği kavramlarla ilgili örnekleri belirlerken zorluklara neden oluyor. Yukarıda belirtilen sonuçların hepsi çokgenlerin öğrenilmesinde üç düzey öğrencide de yaygın olduğu gözlenmiştir. We studied three eighth-grade students identified by their mathematics teacher as having ‘above average,’ ‘average’ and ‘below average’ achievers in mathematics. We sought to observe, using face to face interview, the process of interaction between figural and conceptual aspects in identifying and defining process of polygons, squares, rectangles, and parallelograms. Analysis of the results revealed that (a) students often use prototypic figures but do not consider them as exclusive, (b) noncritical attributes of a concept given in a figure leads to difficulties in identifying concept examples, and (c) students’ own definitions include noncritical attributes of the concepts as well as their critical attributes. All these mentioned above are quite prevalent among all levels of students in concept learning.

Origamics in Architecture: A Medium of Inquiry or Design in Architecture Hagiwara, Ichiro; Sorguç, Arzu; Selçuk, Semra Arslan (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2009-01-01) The Japanese craft of “origami” has proved itself as being a valuable tool to develop various engineering and design applications in numerous fields. Several patterns developed by Dr. Nojima Taketoshi ranging from environmentally friendly containers (pet bottles, plastic containers, cans and et. al) to medical applications such as stents, catheters, from vehicle parts to new insulation material configurations, from robotics to education are sources of inspiration for many other research studies (Hagiwara 20...
Generalization of the law of the wall. Köken, Mete; Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2002) In this study the classical law of the wall, which is obtained for the flat plate, is generalized such that it will hold true for the turbulent axisymmetrical flow as well. A turbulent boundary layer on a transversly curved surface has a different structure from that of a flat plate boundary layer. This transverse curvature effect is of importance in computations of the boundary layer near the tail of a body of revolution^ in estimating the surface resistance of ship models, or other three- dimensional elon...
Hybrid wavelet-neural network models for time series data Kılıç, Deniz Kenan; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2021-3-3) The thesis aims to combine wavelet theory with nonlinear models, particularly neural networks, to find an appropriate time series model structure. Data like financial time series are nonstationary, noisy, and chaotic. Therefore using wavelet analysis helps better modeling in the sense of both frequency and time. S&P500 (∧GSPC) and NASDAQ (∧ IXIC) data are divided into several components by using multiresolution analysis (MRA). Subsequently, each part is modeled by using a suitable neural network structure. ...
Problem-solving processes of mathematically gifted and non-gifted students Sipahi, Yasemin; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Mathematics Education (2021-8-17) This study aimed to investigate the use of problem-solving phases and strategies of seven mathematically gifted, seven successful, and six average students attending fifth-grade in different public and private schools. The participants were selected through purposeful sampling among those who volunteered to participate in the study in a city in Western Turkey. The study was designed as a qualitative case study. Data were collected through clinical task-based interviews that included six problems, researcher...
GRAVITY THEORIES AT LARGE NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS Özen, Gökçen Deniz; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2021-8-13) General Relativity is succesful in understanding the phenomena such as light bending by the Sun and the perihelion precession of Mercury that could not be understood in Newton’s gravity. Within solar system scales, General Relativity is a very powerful theory but for very small or very large distances, the theory has non-renormalization issues and lack of explanation of the accelerated expansion of the universe and the galaxy rotation curves which give a hint at the need for modifications. In this thesis, B...
