We conceptualize referencing as a primary means of establishing intersubjective meaning and, therefore, as an important consideration in supporting collaborative learning. What we call group cognition is a discourse-centered analysis of the interactional basis of collaborative knowledge building, establishing common ground and co-constructing shared meaning. This epistemological perspective has methodological, technological and pedagogical implications. It directs empirical analysis toward the manifold forms of referencing that constitute small-group communication. Studies of how students actually make sense of, adapt and adopt referential affordances in computational media are used to inform the design of educational software environments. In particular, we are developing an online service for groups of people to discuss mathematical themes. This paper looks at how a group of students used methods of referencing to co-construct geometric objects in a chat room with graphical referencing tools.

Applying Machiavellian Discourses to Russian Hybrid Warfare Yaman, Fuat; Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık; Department of Eurasian Studies (2022-3) This thesis aims to analyze the underlying necessitates related to the implementation of the hybrid warfare concept by the Russian Federation within the conceptual framework of Machiavellian political philosophy that prerequisites well-being of the state above all the idealist considerations, thereby requiring the statesman to adapt to whatever changing circumstances necessitate. This thesis claims that certain political and military events that the Russian Federation has witnessed in the near history, such...
VALUE PLURALISM AND COMPROMISE IN THE POLITICAL SPHERE ATALAY, MERT; PARKAN, BARIŞ; Department of Philosophy (2022-9) This thesis develops an account of value pluralism which claims that the conception of “the political” is constituted by value pluralism and accordingly, “the political” is the sphere that is comprised of plural values and aims. Within this account of value pluralism, making compromises is accepted to be the viable option of resolving conflicts and disagreements in the political sphere. Besides, as this thesis argues, when compromises are made sensibly, the plural ways of expression are maintained in the po...
Workshop on Large-Scale and Distributed Systems for Information Retrieval (LSDS-IR 2014) Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Macdonald, Craig; Tonellotto, Nicola (2014-01-01) The LSDS-IR'14 workshop aims to bring together information retrieval practitioners from industry and academic researchers concerned with efficient and distributed IR systems. The workshop also welcomes contributions that propose different ways of leveraging diversity and multiplicity of resources available in distributed systems. The main goal of the workshop is to attract people from industry and academia to present and discuss ideas, problems, and results related to the efficiency of large scale and distr...
Automated coherence detection with term-distance path extraction of the co-occurrence matrix of a document Ağın, Halil; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2015) This thesis takes the distributional semantics (frequency-based semantics) approach as the theoretical framework to quantify textual coherence. Distributional semantics describes discourse sections as vectors, having dimensions are the frequency count of co-occurring words in the text within its semantic space. It quantifies the textual coherence by measuring the cosine values of vectors of successive sentences (cf. Latent Semantic Analysis, LSA). The common assumption underlying LSA based studies is that t...
Heidegger on the claim of the phenomenon: logos and being Namlı Türkmen, Gülşah; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2013) In this thesis, our aim is to bring into view Heidegger’s thinking in a comprehensive sense with regard to its fundamental premise. As we shall see, the latter lies in what phenomenological breakthrough brought forward in terms of an idea of showing in its manner of giving itself. This problematic has its own genesis as itself in the sense that what is to be thought comes to revealing as the way of thinking which is not based on metaphysical stances, but finds itself on the way to itself. Although for Heide...
