This study extends the learning and use of affordances on robots on two fronts. First, we use the very same affordance learning framework that was used for learning the affordances of inanimate things to learn social affordances, that is affordances whose existence requires the presence of humans. Second, we use the learned affordances for making multi-step plans. Specifically, an iCub humanoid platform is equipped with a perceptual system to sense objects placed on a table, as well as the presence and state of humans in the environment, and a behavioral repertoire that consisted of simple object manipulations as well as voice behaviors that are uttered simple verbs. After interacting with objects and humans, the robot learns a set of affordances with which it can make multi-step plans towards achieving a demonstrated goal.

Using technology in preventing and remedying seventh grade students' misconceptions in forming and solving linear equations Erek, Görkem; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Educational Sciences (2008) The purposes of this study was to investigate seventh-grade students’ misconceptions related to forming and solving equations and examine the role of technology use in preventing and remedying these misconceptions. A group of 18 seventh grade students was given a diagnostic test before they started the equations unit to determine their misconceptions related to the topic. Students studied equations for 6 weeks and half of the instruction took place in the computer lab where they used various electronic mani...
Tracing users' behaviors in a multimodal instructional material: An eye-tracking study Yecan, Esra; Sumuer, Evren; Baran, Bahar; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2007-07-27) This study aims to explore user behaviors in instructional environments combining multimodal presentation of information. Cognitive load theory and dual coding theory were taken as the theoretical perspectives for the analyses. For this purpose, user behaviors were analyzed by recording participants' eye movements while they were using an instructional material with synchronized video and PowerPoint slides. 15 participants' eye fixation counts and durations for specific parts of the material were collected....
Improving achievement through problem-based learning Sungur, Semra; Öztekin, Ceren; Geban, Ömer (Informa UK Limited, 2006-09-01) In this study, the effect of problem-based learning on students' academic achievement and performance skills in a unit on the human excretory system was investigated. Sixty-one 10th grade students, from two full classes instructed by the same biology teacher, were involved in the study. Classes were randomly assigned as either the experimental or the control group and were pre- and post-tested to determine their academic achievement and performance skills before and after the treatment. The experimental gro...
Learner's satisfaction, social presence and attitude in a project based collaborative learning through computer mediated communication: a case study Örentürk, Burcu; Yıldırım, Zahide; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2003) This study examines elementary school students̕ project-based learning (PBL) experiences through Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). The purpose of the study is to explore whether the use of computer-mediated communication tools in a project-based collaborative learning process enhances 5th grade students̕ attitudes toward computer and computer class within an online supported environment, analyze the level of learners̕ satisfaction about the project-based collaborative learning through CMC, and examine ...
Active Flutter Control of a Smart Fin Fatih Mutlu, Karadal; Volkan, Nalbantoğlu; Şahin, Melin; Güçlü, Seber; Ömer Faruk, Kırcalı; Yaman, Yavuz (null; 2008-10-06) This study presents the theoretical analysis of an active flutter suppression methodology applied on a smart fin. The smart fin consisted of a cantilever aluminum plate-like structure with surface bonded piezoelectric (PZT, Lead- Zirconate-Titanate) patches. The robust controllers were designed via H∞ synthesis by considering both SISO (Single-Input, Single-Output) and MIMO Multi-Input, Multi-Output) aeroelastic system models. The developed controllers performed well around the flutter point and also stabil...
