METAPHORS TOWARDS ADOLESCENCE PERIOD IN THE EYES OF TEACHERS

The aim of this study is to reveal the perceptions of high school teachers about adolescence period and adolescents through metaphors. In this study, phenomenological model was used among qualitative research models. The study group consisted of 146 teachers who work in different departments in high schools. Data of the study was collected from an interview form consisting of following sentence; 'adolescence period and adolescents’ resemble ..................... because ......................The data obtained from the participants were analyzed and interpreted with method of content analysis. As a result of the research, 108 different metaphors were produced by the teachers who participated in the study. These metaphors are divided into eight different conceptual categories in terms of their common characteristics. The categories with the most metaphors were determined as categories of ‘inconsistency and variability’, ‘Uncontrolledness hypermobility’ and ‘process and transition’.  Article visualizations

Classification and visual analysis of weathering forms of stone in Kadıkalesi, Kuşadası

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, Architectural Restoration, Izmir, 2005Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishxi, 76 leavesIdentification of the state of deterioration at stone monuments is one of the main steps, which should be carried out for planning of conservation studies.In recent years, most of the study concerning the classification and mapping of weathering forms observed at stone monuments have been carried out either by detailed classification or sketchy methods.Due to the large area of the archaeological site, identification of the weathering forms of stones and their progress should be done in easy and rapid way to decide urgent interventions. This study was aimed to propose a visual presentation technique for classification and mapping of weathering forms of stones that it could be applied easily in archeological sites. For this aim, a method has been developed in the archeological site of Kadıkalesi (Anaia). The method was derived from detailed and sketchy classification methods. Both methods were united in order to form an intermediary scale for the visual classification and mapping forms observed at stone monuments.The proposed method for classification and mapping of weathering forms of stone in this study would be suitable for archeological sites. The most frequently observed weathering form in Kadikalesi is biological colonization, which is major cause of the loss of stone blocks and fissures. The deposition of the soluble salts, which could be originated from soil and marine aerosols and clay minerals, which ensures suitable conditions for the biological growth, are the other major causes of the stone, brick and mortar deterioration. This study indicated that during and after excavation in an archeological site, deposited soil and soluble salts on the stone surfaces should be cleaned to prevent rapid deterioration. Repairing or sealing cracks, cavities of stones, hand pulling wild grass will also prevent rapid deterioration of stones by the formation of higher plants

A study on adaptable kitchen design in the context of standardization and individualism

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, Industrial Design, Izmir, 2002Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 109-114)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishxv, 114 leavesThis study demonstrates the paradoxical cycle of modern life, which has simultaneously obliged to standardize the objects and individualize subjects. Under the impact of mechanistic look, conceptions of mobility and modularity emerge as affixed part of this paradoxical cycle.In the context of standardization and individualism, this study focuses on the birth of modern kitchen conceptions relating to the standardization of modern housing and the work process. Then the study addresses the transformation process of modern kitchen from stable architectural space into independent standardized mobile furniture. Thus, it gains great capacity by being in motion and possibility to separate itself from home and its context in order to encounter the sense of freedom, changeability and individuality. This study also focuses on modularized kitchen, which is standardized as much as it is divided into parts enriched by various sliding, rotating, folding and joining elements. So, the mobility has emerged as a conception that increased the possibilities of variations and changeability of modularized kitchen. Consequently, each moveable component has prepared the conditions of kitchen-in-motion that look for new directions towards transformable kitchen design

The phenomenon of the home in modern culture: Transcendental homelessness and escape fantasy at the intersection of art and design

Thesis (Doctoral)--İzmir Institute of Technology, Architecture, İzmir, 2008Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 278-295)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishxxi, 295 leavesFragmented perception of the city; the oppressiveness of the capitalist system; the psychological conditions of the metropolis comprised integral aspects of Modernity which overwhelmed the nerves of modern urbanite. While the metropolis, the exterior, has been the source of fear and anxiety, the home, the interior, has been pointed out as the venue of escape from the outside. To the extent that the home is idealized as counterpart of the metropolis and social life, as the site of the heimlich and as one of the means of the capitalist system, becomes too a place where alienation has come to be overtly observed. The impossible desire to return to the home links up with transcendental homelessness and the escape fantasy and coalesces with the notion that .in the modern world one can only dwell in one.s body..This study focuses on the discourse that renders the modern individual in the image of the traumatic due to the pathological relationship between the modern individual and home. The research method consists of the implementation of .discourse analysis. as developed by Michel Foucault. Through this method, the argument is presented through art works/objects taken as critical spatial practices. In the context of this method, five fields are determined as constituting the positivity of the discourse: .Enterprises., .Actions., .Dialectics., .Critical Discourses., and .Critical Practices.. Through these five fields, the study analyzes such modern phenomena as individualization and alienation of the modern individual, transcendental homelessness, nostalgia, homesickness, isolation, and escape fantasy.Key Words: Modern individual, modernity, metropolis/megalopolis, modern dwelling, modernist architecture, standardization, mobility, trauma, home, domesticity, nostalgia, homesickness, uncanny, transcendental homelessness, alienation, anxiety, individualization, escape fantasy, discourse, statement, discursive formation, positivity

Symbolic creativity in play activity: a critique on playthings from daily life objects to toys

Play is an essential activity for children’s development. Children play with daily life objects as well as toys. Daily life with its various objects and practices provides a real freedom for discovery and self-realization. Children celebrate this value through symbolic creativity that flourishes in various play practices, such as symbolic object use, storytelling, animation in special modes of virtualization and actualization, construction with everyday mathematics and puzzling for order in chaos. The study examines a girl’s play activities with daily life things and waste materials between 6 and 8 years of ages. Finally, the study emphasizes that: (1) symbolic creativity is necessary for children’s self-realization and accordingly for their well-being and (2) toys must be selected carefully to stimulate children’s ability to imagine, create and produce
