Doctoral Thesis Sarah Scott'ın A Description Of Millennium Hall, Florence Dixie'nin Gloriana; Or, The Revolution Of 1900 ve Fay Weldon'nın Darcy's Utopia Adlı Eserlerinde Ütopik Söylemin İncelenmesi(2017) Düzgün, Şebnem; Aras, GökşenSarah Scott'ın A Description of Millenium Hall (1762), Florence Dixie'nin Gloriana; Or, The Revolution of 1900 (1890) ve Fay Weldon'ın Darcy's Utopia (1990) adlı eserleri yönetici sınıfta bulunan erkeklerin gücünü ve imtiyazlarını meşrulaştıran ataerkil politikaları eleştirir. Sırasıyla on sekizinci yüzyıl ortasında, on dokuzuncu ve yirminci yüzyıl sonlarında etkili olan feminist akımlardan etkilenmiş olan Scott, Dixie ve Weldon, kadın başkahramanları aracılığıyla feminist ütopyalarında baskıcı ataerkil ideolojiye ve söyleme karşı çıkarlar. Cinsiyet ayrımcılığını sosyo-politik bir sorun olarak ele alan kadın kahramanlar, kadınların zihinsel ve fiziksel yönlerden daha aşağı bir konumda oldukları varsayımının din, eğitim ve evlilik gibi sosyal kurumlar tarafından dayatıldığını ileri sürerler. Ayrıca, kadınların ve ikincil toplumsal, ırksal ve dini sınıfların baskılanması arasında da benzerlik kurarlar. Tez, çoğunlukla Foucault'nun ve feministlerin söylemlerine gönderme yaparak Scott, Dixie ve Weldon'ın eserlerinde kadınların ezilmesi ve sömürülmesi konusunu tartışır ve toplumsal cinsiyet meselesinin farklı sosyo-tarihsel açılardan ele alınsa da başkahramanların, kadınların ezilmesinin ideolojik olduğunu ve kadınların sözde biyolojik, zihinsel veya ahlaki açıdan güçsüzlükleriyle ilgili olmadığını savunduklarını açıklamayı amaçlar. Ayrıca, kadınların ikincil konuma itilmesinin, gücün üst sınıf Hıristiyan beyaz erkeklerin ellerinde toplanmasını savunan ataerkil devlet tarafından yasallaştırıldığını iddia ettikleri ortaya konur. Tez, Scott, Dixie ve Weldon'ın kadın kahramanlarının, kadınların erkek egemenliğinden kurtarılması için ataerkil gücü pekiştiren geleneksel sosyal, ekonomik, politik, dini ve ahlaki ideolojilerin yeniden düzenlenmesi gerektiğini savundukları sonucuna varır.Article Citation - WoS: 67Citation - Scopus: 89Gender, Age and Income Differences in Internet Usage Among Employees in Organizations(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2010) Akman, Ibrahim; Mishra, AlokThis paper reviews and discusses Internet issues and reports the findings of a survey concerning the impact of gender, age and income on employees' Internet usage in Turkey. Internet usage was categorized in two empirical factors, namely usage profile (reason for using the Internet, average daily use of the Internet) and usage patterns (average daily use of the Internet for communication/e-mailing/chat, information access/downloading/entertainment and electronic services). The survey was conducted among 200 employees from public and private sector organizations. The results indicated that gender has a positive impact on average daily time spent on the use of the Internet for communication/e-mailing/chat and information access/downloading/entertainment. Age has a positive impact on average daily use of the Internet in general and a negative impact on the use of the Internet for information access/downloading/entertainment. Income was not found to have an impact on empirical factors. Finally, gender, age and income do not have any significant impact on average daily use of Internet for electronic services such as e-commerce/e-shopping/e-banking/e-government.

They may utilise their dual embeddedness in both the home country and the host country, and also use transnational links to gain a competitive advantage in exporting compared to indigenous entrepreneurs. Migrant entrepreneurs' advantage may, however, be contingent on attributes such as gender and education, especially among the first generation of migrants, in that being male and educated is more advantageous for migrants than for indigenous entrepreneurs. A representative sample of 50,371 entrepreneurs establishing or operating enterprises around the world was surveyed in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, which reports on migration and exporting. Hierarchical linear modelling shows that migrant entrepreneurs export more than indigenous entrepreneurs, especially in the first generation, and especially among educated and male migrants. These findings can be generalised to migrant and indigenous entrepreneurs worldwide to enhance knowledge about the entrepreneurial benefits of migration, albeit contingent on gender and education.

In this case, the research was descriptive in nature and used the general survey model. The study group of the research was made up of 474 students from the preparatory classes at a foundation university for the academic year of 2021-2022. - 2022. This study sought to ascertain the degree to which students, who are students at the Department of Foreign Languages at a foundation university in Ankara, read academic literature using metacognitive reading strategies. To measure the degree of the usage of metacognitive reading strategies and determine if there were any connections between students' reading comprehension and the strategies, Metacognitive Reading Strategies Questionnaire (MRSQ), developed by Taraban, Rynearson, and Kerr (2004), was chosen as a tool to determine which metacognitive reading strategies students employ while they are reading. The MRSQ questionnaire was deemed to be appropriate for usage because it was translated into Turkish by & Ccedil;& ouml;& gbreve;men and Saracalo & gbreve;lu (2010) and after conducting validity and reliability tests it was proved to be appropriate to be used in the research. According to the data obtained from the questionnaire, a statistically significant difference was found in the students' scores in terms of their genders and the high school departments they attended, but there was not a statistically significant difference in terms of their university grade levels. The research's findings may shed light on the reading strategies that students at the Department of Foreign Languages make use of when reading texts in English, academic papers, and school-related resources.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Exploring and Expanding Students' Success in Software Testing(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2017) Mishra, Deepti; Ostrovska, Sofiya; Hacaloglu, TunaPurpose - Testing is one of the indispensable activities in software development and is being adopted as an independent course by software engineering (SE) departments at universities worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to carry out an investigation of the performance of learners about testing, given the tendencies in the industry and motivation caused by the unavailability of similar studies in software testing field. Design/methodology/approach - This study is based on the data collected over three years (between 2012 and 2014) from students taking the software testing course. The course is included in the second year of undergraduate curriculum for the bachelor of engineering (SE). Findings - It has been observed that, from the performance perspective, automated testing outperforms structural and functional testing techniques, and that a strong correlation exists among these three approaches. Moreover, a strong programming background does help toward further success in structural and automated testing, but has no effect on functional testing. The results of different teaching styles within the course are also presented together with an analysis exploring the relationship between students' gender and success in the software testing course, revealing that there is no difference in terms of performance between male and female students in the course. Moreover, it is advisable to introduce teaching concepts one at a time because students find it difficult to grasp the ideas otherwise. Research limitations/implications - These findings are based on the analysis conducted using three years of data collected while teaching a course in testing. Obviously, there are some limitations to this study. For example, student's strength in programming is calculated using the score of C programming courses taken in previous year/semester. Such scores may not reflect their current level of programming knowledge. Furthermore, attempt was made to ensure that the exercises given for different testing techniques have similar difficulty level to guarantee that the difference in success between these testing techniques is due to the inherent complexity of the technique itself and not because of different exercises. Still, there is small probability that a certain degree of change in success may be due to the difference in the difficulty levels of the exercises. As such, it is obviously premature to consider the present results as final since there is a lack of similar type of studies, with which the authors can compare the results. Therefore, more work needs to be done in different settings to draw sound conclusions in this respect. Originality/value - Although there are few studies (see e.g. Chan et al., 2005; Garousi and Zhi, 2013; Ng et al., 2004) exploring the preference of testers over distinct software testing techniques in the industry, there appears to be no paper comparing the preferences and performances of learners in terms of different testing techniques.Master Thesis Virginia Woolf'un Mrs. Dalloway ve D. H. Lawrence'ın Lady Chatterley's Lover Adlı Romanlarında Kısıtlanma Olarak Evlilik(2025) Çankır, Aleyna Nur; İzmir, SibelBu tez, Birinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra 20. yüzyıl İngiltere'sinde var olan sınıf ve toplumsal cinsiyet sorunlarını feminist eleştiri ışığında Virginia Woolf'un Mrs. Dalloway ve D. H. Lawrence'ın Lady Chatterley's Lover adlı eserlerinde inceleyecektir. 20. yüzyıl İngiltere'sinde kadın kurtuluş hareketlerinin daha görünür olması ve kadınların oy kullanma hakkının yaygınlaşmasıyla beraber, kadınların kamu alanlarına, siyasi işlere ve işgücüne katılımları ivme kazanmıştır. Buna rağmen, Viktorya döneminin izlerini taşıyan 20. yüzyıl İngiliz toplumunun kültürel yapısında, kadının evlilikteki ve toplumdaki yeri hala geleneksel bir bakış açısıyla sınırlıdır. Bu tezde, Birinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası birey ile toplum arasındaki çatışmayı anlatan Mrs. Dalloway (1925) ve Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) adlı romanlar, kadın, evlilik ve toplum çerçevesinde ele alınacaktır. İki farklı roman ve bu romanların kadın karakterleri üzerinden dönemin toplumsal norm ve kuralları göz önünde bulundurularak feminist kuramcıların düşünceleri ışığında evlilik kadın açısından kısıtlanmaya sebebiyet veren bir kurum olarak analiz edilecektir. Bu bağlamda, incelenen iki romanda da kadın karakterler eğitimli ve toplumda statü sahibi olmalarına rağmen evliliklerindeki baskılardan kurtulamamışlardır. Bu tez aracılığıyla bahsi geçen romanlardaki sınıf, kadın ve evlilik temelli konulara feminist bir bakış açısıyla yaklaşılması amaçlanmaktadır.Article Citation - Scopus: 5Context-based lessons with 5E model to promote conceptual understanding of chemical reactions and energy concepts(Scientific Methodical Center, 2015) Cigdemoglu,C.; Geban,O.This study explores whether the context-based approach with 5E model (CBA-5E) can lead to better understanding of chemical reactions and energy concepts when compared to conventional instruction (CI). Additionally, the study delves into the effect of treatment with regards to gender. Eleventh grade science-major classes with 175 students from two public high schools were enrolled. The experimental groups were treated with CBA-5E, the control groups as CI, the treatments were randomly assigned to the groups. The chemical reactions and energy concepts test, including the common alternative conceptions, was administered as pre- and post-test. The chemical reactions and energy achievement test, including conceptual and algorithmic problems, was administered as a post-test to the groups. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was used for the analysis of the data, and the results revealed that CBA-5E was superior to CI on the students’ conceptual understanding regarding these concepts regardless of gender difference. © 2015, Scientific Methodical Center.

Several recent empirical studies have examined the gender effects of education on economic growth or on output level using the much exploited, familiar cross-country data. This paper aims to undertake a similar study of the gender effects of education on economic growth using a panel data across the provinces of Turkey for the period 1975-2000. Design/methodology/approach - The theoretical basis of the estimating equations is the neoclassical growth model augmented to include separate female and male education capital and health capital variables. The methodology the authors use includes robust regression on pooled panel data controlling for regional and time effects. The results are found to be robust to a number of sensitivity analyses, such as elimination of outlier observations, controls for simultaneity and measurement errors, controls for omitted variables by including regional dummy variables, steady-state versus growth equations and different samples of developed and less-developed provinces of Turkey. Findings - The main findings indicate that female education positively and significantly affects the steady-state level of labor productivity, while the effect of male education is in general either positive or insignificant. Separate examination of the effect of educational gender gap was to reduce output. Originality/value - As evident in the literature, there is controversy surrounding the gender effects of education on growth. This paper provides new evidence on this issue from the perspective of a single country rather than a cross-country viewpoint.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Gender Effects of Education on Economic Development in Turkey(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2016) Tansel,A.; Gungor,N.D.Several empirical studies have examined the genderdifferentiated effects of education on economic growth or on a steadystate level of economic output, using cross-country data to determine the quantitative importance of these effects and the direction of correlation. This chapter reports on a similar study of the gender effects of education using province-level data for Turkey. It finds that female education positively and significantly affects the steady-state level of labor productivity, while male education has either positive or insignificant effects. A separate examination of the effect of the educational gender gap finds a negative relationship with output. The results are robust to a number of sensitivity analyses, such as elimination of outlier observations, controls for simultaneity and measurement errors, controls for omitted variables through the inclusion of regional dummy variables, the use of steady-state versus growth equations, and the consideration of different samples. © 2016 by Imperial College Press.
