Intellectual Activities

The basic design course is carried out in most institutions providing design education regardless of the area. The goal of this training process is to introduce students to the design elements and principles and to carry out intellectual activities such as observation, perception, impression, experience, research, memory, evaluation, the emergence of creativity and the end with the product. The student is expected to gain competencies such as gaining a different perspective and freedom of expression by communicating with the field and using different materials with new meanings. During the lesson, the students get acquainted with a workplace (studio space) that they are not familiar with. It is aimed that students create original works with different materials and expression techniques, sometimes by doing individual and sometimes group works. It is the first time that the student encounters with the concept of design, observing the social–physical environment from a different perspective, discovering and developing the ability to produce forms. In this study, the experiences of two-dimensional and three-dimensional outcome products shared by the Biruni University Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Department’s first-year students in the 'Basic Design I' course, which transfer the basic design elements and principles they learned during the semester to the final applications, are presented.   Keywords: Basic design, design, studio space, experience, creativity.

Gestalt Perception

In design-based disciplines, the basic design lesson generally covers theories of design elements-principles and Gestalt perception rules, then followed by two and three-dimensional abstract designs made by the students. All these studies play an important role in the development of visual language and expression. Particularly in the visualization of the imagination and in the process of transferring the design, the students are fed from these teachings and direct their design decisions. For this reason, the "Basic Design" course is of great importance for the students to develop a formal and aesthetic perspective. However, the transformation of these abstract thoughts into a concrete product is often not tested in the context of the course. In the scope of this study; the teachings that students gained from the   "Basic Design" course, which is given in the first semester in the Department of Interior Design at Karadeniz Technical University, was tested with a workshop. As method of the study, the functional characteristics of the furniture designed by the students and the basic design elements-principles and Gestalt perception rules used by the students were entered into the SPSS program and the obtained data were evaluated in accordance with the objectives of the study. Keywords: Furniture design; abstract thinking; design education; basic design; creativity Özet Tasarım tabanlı disiplinlerde temel tasarım dersi genel olarak; tasarım ögeleri, ilkeleri, Gestalt algı kuramlarını içeren teorik anlatımlarla verilmekte, sonrasında öğrencilere yaptırılan iki ve üç boyutlu soyut tasarımlarla desteklenmektedir. Tüm bu çalışmalar görsel dilin ve ifadenin geliştirilmesinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Özellikle imgenin görselleştirilmesinde ve tasarıma aktarılması aşamasında öğrenciler, bu öğretilerden beslenerek tasarım kararlarına yön vermektedirler. Bu nedenle “Temel Tasarım” dersi, öğrencilerin biçimsel ve estetik bir bakış açısı geliştirebilmeleri için büyük bir önem arz etmektedir. Ancak bu bakış açısının soyut düşünceden, somut bir ürüne dönüştürülmesi genellikle ders kapsamında test edilememektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında; Türkiye’nin kuzey doğusunda bir sahil kenti olan Trabzon’da bulunan Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi İç Mimarlık Bölümünde birinci yarıyılda verilmekte olan “Temel Tasarım” dersinin bir çıktısı olarak öğrencilerin dersten edinimleri dönem sonunda bir workshop çalışması ile sınanmıştır. Çalışmanın yöntemi olarak öğrencilerin tasarladıkları mobilyaların işlevsel özellikleri ve kullandıkları temel tasarım öge ve ilkeleri SPSS programına girilmiş, elde edilen veriler çalışmanın amaçları doğrultusunda değerlendirilmiştir. Keywords: Temel tasarım, mobilya tasarımı, yaratıcılık, soyut düşünme.

Design is a tough process in which knowledge, skill, awareness, sophistication, inspiration, time and creativity should be brought together efficiently within artistic and aesthetic approach. Design education involves observing, researching, thinking, interpretation, designing and producing processes concordantly. Due to its unusual formation; students face difficulties while transforming intangible concepts into tangible products in basic design courses. An encouraging and inspiring teaching-learning process is required in this unique course. Conventional basic design education is structured on teaching the design elements and principles that make up a visual composition. Basic design curriculums of different departments are correlated with various branches of art and present interpretation diversity within students’ applications and basic design studio experiences. It is aimed to make a contribution to the wide range of basic design course within a case study themed on cinema in this study. Regarding to experimental method and watching a movie, students designed three dimensional models representing their inferences. Interpretation diversity has been observed due to students' cognition, observation, ways of access to information and creativity. As a result, deductive thinking and visual depiction of the movie through basic design principles have resulted creative products and benefited students' teaching-learning process.

Academic Adaptation

This study aims at recognizing the level of social and psychological adaptation and its connection with the students of An-Najah National University in Nablus governorate in light of the background variables. Also, it seeks to clarify the correlational relations between social, psychological and academic adaptation and identity ranks. In order to achieve the aims of the study, a sample of (280) students from An-Najah National University is chosen. The consistency and validity of the tools of the study are verified. Results have shown their validity as it follows the correlational and descriptive methods. The following are the results of the study: 1- There are positive statistical relations between psychological and social adaptation and identity ranks of stopping, closure and dispersion. However, there isn’t any statistical relation between identity achievement and social and psychological adaptation. 2- There are statistical differences in the ranks of identity of the variable of scholastic year or place of residence or economic level. Besides, there are statistical differences in the averages of identity stopping and closure due to the variable of scholastic year. 3- There are differences in the average of stopping identity in the first year and the second, third and fourth year students in favor of the first year students. The source of the differences in the average of identity closure is between the first year students and the second and third year students in favor of the first year students. 4- There are statistical differences in the averages of achieving closure identity due to place of residence that the differences in the averages of achieving identity among camp citizens in the cities and villages in favor of camps citizens due to closing their identity between the citizens of the cities and villages in favor of the dwellers of the village. 5- There are statistical differences in the averages in the ranks of identity due to the economic level. Also, there are statistical differences among the averages of the social and psychological adaptation due to the variable of the scholastic year that they are between the first year students and the second and third year students in favor of the first year students. 6- All the hypotheses of the study are refuted except for two, namely: there are statistical differences in the rank of identity due to the variables of scholastic year and place of residence. The second is that there are statistical differences in the social and psychological adaptation due to the variable of scholastic year. In light of these results, the researcher recommends offering guidance programs highlighting ranks of the identity of students for its positive and effective impact in achieving their goals and changing their course of life by achieving their psychological, social and academic adaptation.

Is Design

Digital technology is reshaping the way higher education subjects are taught, including design. Various design disciplines use studio teaching as a pedagogy to educate students for professions in art and design. Studio teaching bases a high premium on face-to-face interactions which guide learning through dialogue and feedback on individual work. Many design educators believe it is difficult or even impossible to teach design online because of studio-based interactions. Is design one of those disciplines that cannot be taught online because of the studio culture? This study explores that question by investigating the effectiveness of teaching design subjects that employ a virtual classroom to manage peer-to-peer critiques, instructor feedback, and assignments. Twenty-eight first-year students participated in two online design subjects that required them to interact with fellow students and the design instructor via a Learning Management System. The experienced benefits and challenges of students and instructors are presented, and future research is highlighted.La technologie numérique transforme la façon dont sont enseignées les disciplines de l’éducation postsecondaire, y compris le design. Différentes branches du design se servent de l’enseignement en studio comme pédagogie permettant de former les étudiants pour les métiers des arts et du design. L’enseignement en studio accorde une importance considérable aux interactions en personne qui orientent l’apprentissage par l’entremise du dialogue et de la rétroaction offerte sur le travail individuel. De nombreux enseignants de design croient qu’il est difficile, voire impossible, d’enseigner le design en ligne à cause des interactions en studio. Le design est-il l’une de ces disciplines que l’on ne peut pas enseigner en ligne à cause de la culture des studios? Cette étude explore la question en investiguant l’efficacité de sujets qui étudient le design à l’aide d’une salle de classe virtuelle, qui sert à gérer les critiques entre les pairs, les rétroactions de l’instructeur, ainsi que les travaux à effectuer. Vingt-huit étudiants de première année ont pris part à deux cours de design en ligne qui exigeaient d’eux qu’ils interagissent avec leurs camarades et avec l’instructeur par l’entremise d’un système de gestion de l'apprentissage. Les avantages et les défis dont les étudiants et les instructeurs ont fait l’expérience sont présentés, et des pistes sont proposées pour des études futures.

ENGR 141: Engineering Mechanics is afoundational course in the UVic Engineering Faculty thatserves all of the engineering degree programs:biomedical, civil, mechanical, electrical, computer andsoftware. Between the 2013 and 2014 offerings of thecourse, the ENGR 141 population grew dramatically, bywell over 50%, necessitating changes in the coursestructure and methods of student assessment. In additionto addressing logistical challenges, the changes weredesigned to develop the students’ confidence in theirability to wield fundamental mechanical principlesindependently and in peer-to-peer working environments.This was done by repurposing the tutorial sections of thecourse to create student driven exploration, analysis andsolution of complex three dimensional mechanicsproblems.A series of 22 problems lying outside the domain of theassignment problem sets were addressed-two in eachweek of the tutorials. The assignments and midtermsproblems were constructed so that the impact of tutorialwork on students mastery of the course Intended LearningOutcomes could be extracted.Under the new tutorial format, instructors monitoredgroup dynamics, helped troubleshoot and providedencouragement. Presentation of solution strategies weremade by select student groups each week. The currentwork describes the motivation for the changes made,observations made at implementation and somepreliminary results from analyses of the impact of the newcourse structure on student mastery of the course learningoutcomes. Important conclusions are that the student-ledtutorials should be accompanied with additionalinstructor contact hours that provide opportunity forstudents to receive tutelage on a one-to-one basis andthat individual testing should stress the procedures andtools emphasized in the tutorials.In addition, students found that assessments madethrough multiple choice testing contradicted values andprinciples being stressed in the tutorial and seminarsessions.

The article deals with the peculiarities of self-efficacy of freshmen students. The structure and possibilities of development of separate components of self-efficacy in educational-professional activity are analyzed. The results of empirical research are described and and assumptions made about inter- and intra-subjective conditions for the inclusion of self-efficacy in value-motivational regulatory processes that promote the professionalization of students. According to the results of the study, first-year students are generally determined by a rather high level of self-efficacy, which is an indicator of psychological readiness for profession. The formation of professional self-efficacy is largely influenced by the conditions of the social environment and educational and professional activities. Self-efficacy is based on value experience and internal standards of activity, defines the direction and motivation of a person. In this regard, self-efficacy is one of the most important factors for the successful professionalization of students.
