İşgücünün Yüklenmesi: Yüksek Öğretimde Bilgi Ekonomisine Dayalı E-Materyal Geliştirme Süreçleri
(Gaziantep Üniv. Sosyal Bilimler Enst., 2013) Öngün, Erdem
Universities as distinguished representatives of higher education bear great responsibilities for providing quality and innovative perspectives to their individuals. Costs and benefits of distributing high quality knowledge equally and of the best quality suggest a merge of some concepts such as learning or knowledge with economic resourcefulness in regard to cost-effectiveness. Basic instructional instruments such as syllabi, curriculums, presentations, and course notes are essential in realizing educational targets and achieving desired success. Traditional processing and application of these tools slows down efficient and quick access to learning and teaching activities. In this regard, e-materializing these instructional dynamics creates an accelerated and facilitated progression of educational activities. Overall, this study aims at developing an insight into past and current developments and applications regarding knowledge, information and data transformation processes in higher education in the sense of economic efficiency, usability, and productivity for achieving an innovative learning environment. Based on the relevant literature, this analysis first of all introduces basic concepts such as knowledge and information. Based on the tripod of education, economy, and environment, the study defines e-materialization channels in higher education and it further questions possible ways and technological tools for achieving an enhanced cost-effective learning setting in the digital world of education. Discussed in different aspects, further analyses were made concerning the suggested approach for an effective and economical transformation and use of educational knowledge and sources. Finally, an overview of the subject was provided for further discussions that will pave the way for maintaining a cost-effective and efficient learning environment for higher education with new concepts and forms.

THOUGHTS ON INTERPELLATION AND INTERTEXTUALITY AMONG FACEBOOK COVER PHOTOS OF FOUR MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES AS VISUAL NARRATIVES DURING THE TURKISH GENERAL ELECTION OF 2015 CAMPAIGN
(ISTANBUL KULTUR UNIV, 2015) Öngün, Erdem
The main goal and interest in this paper is to explore how visual narrative processes function through single visual texts as cover photos on official Facebook pages of four major political parties (Justice and Development Party (JDP) a.k.a. AKP Republican People's Party (RPP) a.k.a. CHP Nationalist Movement Party (NMP) a.k.a. MHP and Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) a.k.a. HDP) represented in the Turkish Grand Assembly during general election campaign of 2015. The cover photos which illustrate appeal for vote and support are intended to communicate political competition and elicit political ideological support and social responses. Using these cover photos on the Facebook profiles of these political parties as a sample the paper reflects on intertexuality and interpellation processes and how these concepts contribute to further understanding the ways that engaged voters as viewers become participants and supporters in the narratives generated by these single visual texts. What narrative processes are in action during an encounter with a visual appeal for vote and support and how these processes function and how voters as viewing subjects might be able to exchange positions differently in relation to the visual texts appearing in the Facebook cover photos of the related political parties are the main questions to be answered and discussed in this study. Using a qualitative methodology the study concludes with an overall comparative evaluation of the subject.

Individuals of all ages are inevitably affected by today's technology. The main purpose of this study is to explore the objectives of 8th grade students related to the utilization of multimedia instruments ranging from personal computers to the Internet use while they are doing their homework. Specifically it tries to find out whether there is a significant relationship between «for what purposes 8th graders use multimedia tools» and «which personal traits are reinforced while doing homework with multimedia tools?» where gender differences were also taken into consideration in the analysis of the related items in the questionnaire form. The population of the study is made up of 435 students who were randomly selected from five secondary schools in the city of Istanbul Turkey. As a data collection method a questionnaire form with a set of related research questions was used. Findings from the study show that 8th graders in their use of multimedia platforms are provided with a more interactive and independent learning environment where they can find more learning aids while accomplishing their homework objectives. Gender-based evidence from the study shows that digitally male students are more active and they exploit the fun side of homework more compared to their female counterparts.
