In this research, it is aimed to examine the graduate theses done about flipped classroom model in Turkey according to some variables. The data of this descriptive study which was conducted by a ...qualitative research approach was obtained from 105 master's and doctoral theses accessed from CoHE National Thesis Center database. The data were collected through document analysis and the data were analyzed by content analysis technique. According to the findings, it is determined that the theses were mostly done in 2019, most of the theses were made at Gazi University, the number of master's theses was more numerous, the studies conducted to examine the effect of flipped classroom model applications on various variables predominate, the model is mostly called as "Flipped classroom model" as in this study and mostly preferred in foreign language education, and in the part where the model is applied at home the most preferred online software is Edmodo. In addition, it was determined that mostly mixed methods were preferred as the research method, university students as sample group, interview form/questions as data collection tool, and "t test" in data analysis. At the end of the research, suggestions were made for researchers and for practitioners.
Cilj. Rad problematizira trend objavljivanja radova napisanih na temelju diplomskih radova objavljenih u znanstvenim časopisima u otvorenom pristupu. Objašnjen je do-prinos repozitorija znanstvenih ...radova institucijskoj vidljivosti, kao i uloga knjižnice u oblikovanju repozitorija. U radu se analizira koliko je znanstvenih članaka proizašlo iz diplomskih radova studenata triju filozofskih fakulteta te se utvrđuje učestalost pristupa i preuzimanja diplomskih i znanstvenih radova i njihovu citiranost. Istražuje se koliko je vremena potrebno da bi se diplomski rad pretvorio u članak i koje su prevladavajuće kategorizacije tih članaka. Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Korišten je bibliometrijski pristup, uz metodu anali-ze sadržaja koja je obuhvatila sljedeće pokazatelje: citiranost, zastupljenost znanstvenih radova po znanstvenim područjima, kategorizaciju radova, autorstvo, vrijeme objave te broj pregleda i preuzimanja radova. Polazište za istraživanje bili su svi diplomski radovi pohranjeni u repozitoriju Dabar na tri usporediva filozofska fakulteta u Splitu, Rijeci i Osijeku od 2013. do 2020. godine, ukupno 2791 rad. Nakon povezivanja diplomskih radova s proizašlim znanstvenim radovima objavljenim na portalu Hrčak testirane su razlike u citiranosti i vidljivosti radova u dvama sustavima.Rezultati. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se približno 6 % diplomskih radova iz druš-tvenog područja i 2 % radova iz humanističkog područja preoblikuje u znanstvene član-ke objavljene u časopisima dostupnim u otvorenom pristupu na portalu Hrčak. Većina znanstvenih članaka objavi se do dvije godine nakon pohrane diplomskog rada u repo-zitoriju. Objavom radova u časopisima dostupnim na portalu Hrčak značajno se pobolj-šava njihova vidljivost. Potvrđena je i važnost otvorenog pristupa diplomskim radovima u sustavu Dabar. Ograničenja istraživanja odnose se prije svega na početni odabir radova iz područja društvenih i humanističkih znanosti.Praktična primjena. Na praktičnoj razini rad može poslužiti studentima i mento-rima koji namjeravaju diplomske radove pretvoriti u članke, knjižničarima u pružanju podrške studentima i urednicima probirnih časopisa kao analiza postojećeg stanja i po-lazište za odabir radova.Društveni značaj. Rad pruža uvid u broj i vrstu studentskih radova koji doprinose vidljivosti fakulteta i posredno sveučilišta.Originalnost/vrijednost.Prvi put razmotrena je i napravljena analiza studentskih radova koji su objavljeni na osnovi teme i istraživanja iz diplomskih radova.
Today, engineers make efforts for post-graduate programs far more than before. The main reasons can be increasing awareness of firms about education, decreasing job opportunities for undergraduate ...degrees, the increasing demand for being an academician or scholarship opportunities by government. Some firms want their post-graduate student engineers to solve the firm’s problems in their master or doctoral thesis as case studies. In this regard industrial engineering is a field that adjusts almost with every sector because of its multidisciplinary nature. Thus, there are many post-graduate theses written in this area. The aim of this paper is to analyze 2,122 post-graduate theses (master & doctoral) which are carried out in the department of industrial engineering in Turkish universities. The data is obtained from the website of Council of Higher Education of Turkey. The time period is determined as 2010-2017 and only the 1780 “permission” theses are analyzed in order to reach keywords for solution approaches and keywords analysis. Nine different indicators are used to analyze the thesis such as; university status, page numbers, language, keywords etc. As a result, this study shows how the theses are clustered according to different indicators and which topics are studied more frequently in recent years. The inference of the paper is important because the results give an insight about the road map of industrial engineering thesis completed in 56 different Turkish universities.
To appraise the major research outputs of agronomic crops and cropping systems and to direct the future research priorities of Agronomy Department of post-graduate (PG) program of Institute of ...Agriculture and Animal Sciences (IAAS), a rigorous review was accomplished on about two decadal (2000-2018) student’s thesis research works. The review revealed that the agronomic researches at IAAS from 2000 to 2012 were concentrated mostly in on-station farm of Rampur, Chitwan and found their focus on 11 food grain crops with five major themes viz. varietal evaluation, crop management, soil nutrient and weeds management, and crop simulation modeling. With the shifting of IAAS PG program from Rampur to Kirtipur in 2013, the major agronomic researches were found to be concentrated in on-farm stations due to transitional movement of IAAS to Agriculture and Forestry University, Nepal. A total of 115 agronomic studies were conducted on various crops, of which 92 were on cereals, 8 on legumes, oilseed and minor cereals including potato. There were records of 10 studies on rice-wheat and 3 studies on maize-based systems. The huge gaps between the potential and farmers' field yield and between the potential and research station yields for rice, maize and wheat crops suggested a great scope to raise yields of cereals by improved agronomical researches on varieties evaluation, crop and nutrient management and weed management. Simulation modeling study predicted that the varieties of rice and maize adopted at present could sustain the yields only for recent few years and needed for introduction of new climate resilient varieties, then after. Innovative and new researches on eco-region suited on-farm trails with variety identification, improved crop husbandry and soil nutrient management, improved weed and water management and on agro-meteorology, conservation agriculture, climate change adaptation and crop simulation modeling are advised as future research frontiers to uplift the productivity and reduce yield gaps of major food crops and to strengthen the academics of post-graduate research in near future.
Since it was founded in 1972, the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI‐Arc) in Los Angeles has been one of a small cohort of peers at the forefront of progressive schools of ...architecture. This is an environment where everything is questioned and nothing taken for granted – a fecund, inventive and highly productive breeding ground for new architectures. Graduate Programs Chair Elena Manferdini proffers some of its recent graduate schemes and outlines its pedagogic philosophy.
Graduate thesis is an important form to assess students' comprehensive ability. But the questionnaires carried among 36 supervisors and 167 students in the School of Foreign Languages of University ...of Jinan showed that a number of problems existed in the process and result of thesis writing. The discrepancies in teachers' and students' beliefs and the problems in the graduate thesis writing course are the key causes of the low quality of students' thesis. The author of this article reformed the graduate thesis writing course by doubling teaching hours and adding new contents, namely, the appreciation of academic papers published in journals of high prestige, the revision of former graduate theses, and the writing of academic papers. Results showed that students improved significantly in collecting and using materials as well as language and format.
In fiscal 2004, Hiroshima Institute of Technology introduced the questionnaire for students to evaluate advice and guidance by professors on their graduation thesis, placement, and postgraduate ...studies. In this paper, questionnaire results for fiscal 2004 and 2005 are reported. The data shows the improvement of professors' teaching methods in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. This questionnaire was performed from the standpoint of satisfaction of students, while professors endeavor to improve students' ability as well as their satisfaction. The questionnaire results will now be examined among all faculties, and the contents and method for the questionnaire should be improved aiming at higher quality education, based on the accumulated data from the continued observation.
