This paper presents a part of a thesis research conducted at METU. It proposes a method for evaluating the effects of an immersive virtual learning environment (IVLE) which is integrated in an architectural design/learning activity. Proposed IVLE application and design/learning activity were designed through a synthesis on constructive learning, problem-based learning, immersive technologies, and intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in learning how to design in human-scale. Immersive experience of bodily interactions and problem solving process are focused. Method of evaluation was also developed over this synthesis, and an evaluation rubric was created based on the SOLO taxonomy. According to the evaluation method, a before-and-after test was conducted within a case study involving a particular scenario of design exercise and interviews. Conclusions are based on the results of this case study.

Application of Project-Based Learning in a Theoretical Course: Process, Difficulties and Recommendations CODUR, K. Burak; Karatas, Sercin; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2012-01-01) This paper presents a case study about the application of a project-based learning approach. In this case study, software development projects are performed by the students, using historical software development methods in order to demonstrate evolution of the subject. The presented case study differs from others reported in the literature in its utilization of historical methods for project execution. Getting feedback and reaction of students and assessing the success of the project-based learning implemen...
EVALUATION OF NUSSELT NUMBER FOR A FLOW IN A MICROTUBE USING SECOND-ORDER SLIP MODEL Cetin, Barbaros; Bayer, Özgür (National Library of Serbia, 2011-01-01) In this paper. the fully-developed temperature profile and corresponding Nusselt value is determined analytically for a gaseous flow in a microtube with a thermal boundary condition of constant wall heat flux. The flow assumed to be laminar, and hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed. The fluid is assumed to be constant property and incompressible. The effect of rarefaction, viscous dissipation and axial conduction, which are important at the microscale, are included in the analysis. Second-order sl...
Transforming constraints into strategies: the role of different forms of capital in the status passage of documented iranian migrants in Ankara, Turkey Akis Kalaylıoğlu, Yasemin; Rittersberger Tılıç, Helga İda; Department of Sociology (2016) This thesis focuses on the documented (regular) migration experiences of Iranians in Ankara by drawing upon the sociological conceptual tools of Pierre Bourdieu. The aim of this study is to understand, first of all, whether Turkey can be considered as a good destination for documented migration from the perspective of Iranian migrants. The author raises the question of why Iranians leave their home country, and what it is that they are looking for in the host society, which in this study is conceptualized a...
Synthesis characterization and modification of α-tricalcim phosphate based bone supporting systems Çiçek, Gülçin; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Aksoy, Eda Ayşe; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2012) The constitutive studies of this thesis were achieved and presented in three parts. In the first part, the effects of solid state synthesis process parameters and the impurity content of primary calcium precursor on the cement-type hydration efficiency for the conversion of α-tricalcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2 or α-TCP) into hydroxyapatite (Ca10-xHPO4(PO4)6-x(OH)2-x x = 0–1, or HAp) have been investigated (at 37°C). α-TCP was synthesized by thermal processing of stoichiometric amounts of calcium carbonate (CaC...
Testing the interface hypothesis: L2 acquisition of English subjects and articles by Turkish learners Geydir, Ecem; Sağın Şimşek, Sultan Çiğdem; Department of English Language Teaching (2020) This thesis aims to expand the testing grounds of the Interface Hypothesis (IH) by investigating the acquisition of English subjects operating with pure syntax and article uses of (in)definiteness and genericity in English governed with external and internal interfaces respectively by L1-Turkish learners. Fifty-eight sophomore students who have been studying in the Department of Foreign Language Education of a state university in central Turkey were asked to complete a Grammaticality Judgement, a Discourse ...
