Transforming professional learning into practice
ŞAHİN, Iclal; Yıldırım, Ali (2016-07-01)
In this qualitative case study, we explored how ten EFL teachers who attended an in-service staff development programme subsequently integrated professional learning into their classroom practice, and which staff development practices were effective in this process. We triangulated data from interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data were subjected to content analysis. The results indicated that the transformation of learning experiences started with self-reflection, which initiated changes i...
Integrating sustainability principles into architectural design studio
Mohamed, Kamal Eldin; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018)
Architectural education prepares the students for their professional lives by teaching them design skills and technical knowledge. The design studio is a special course within the architectural curriculum, while design itself is a structured process or a tactical guideline to accomplish a unique expectation of a product. On the other hand, the concept of sustainability in design is meant to ensure that the product of the design is in harmony with human and nature, by taking into consideration the three aspe...
Integrating Spatial Concepts into a Probabilistic Concept Web
Celikkanat, Hande; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (2015-07-31)
In this paper, we study the learning and representation of grounded spatial concepts in a probabilistic concept web that connects them with other noun, adjective, and verb concepts. Specifically, we focus on the prepositional spatial concepts, such as "on", "below", "left", "right", "in front of" and "behind". In our prior work (Celikkanat et al., 2015), inspired from the distributed highly-connected conceptual representation in human brain, we proposed using Markov Random Field for modeling a concept web o...

Çelik, Servet; Kırkgöz, Yasemin; İrgin, Pelin; Çopur, Deniz; Erbay Çetinkaya, Şakire; Kurt, Mustafa; Makaroğlu, Bahtiyar (2022-12-01)
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is one of the most widely consulted reference works that define international standards for the learning, teaching, and assessment of languages. Since its appearance in 2001, the CEFR has been translated into more than 40 languages, including Turkish, making it the second most-translated document of the Council of Europe (CoE) after the European Convention of Human Rights. The CEFR was complemented by the Companion Volume with New Descriptors i...
Integrating Occupational Complexity Levels to Interest Assessments in Social and Enterprising Areas: Development of the Vertical Social Interest Scale
Acikgoz, Yalcin; Toker Gültaş, Yonca (2019-02-01)
With the goal of improving assessment of interests toward social and enterprising areas, we developed the Vertical Social Interest Scale (VSIS) by incorporating vertical differentiation between occupations in terms of authority and communication. Social and enterprising occupations, their complexity levels, and work activities were identified using the information in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles and Occupational Information Network. Three studies (N = 515 total), two of which utilized students and ...
