    Using Augmented Reality (AR) in Vocational Education Programs to Teach Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
    (The Design and Technology Association, 2021) Hülagü, R.; Erkarslan, Ö.
    The aim of this research is to design a system that will raise awareness among vocational education students about occupational health and safety and the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) systems into the application/concept. Simply, projected on the work force surface, the AR system warns the students as they perform actions that pose a risk, need caution and may result in accidents. Therefore, by repetitive warnings, students learn the faultiness of actions in a faster pace and develop and insightful awareness. The research involves a literature review and two experiments studies in Çınarlı Vocational and Technical High School (CVHS) with high school and Dokuz Eylül University Mechanical Engineering (DEU ME) students. A system is designed according to the findings from these studies. As a result, students learnt to be more cautious, and the number of mistakes they make decreased. This will result in decrease in the number of occupational accidents, deaths and financial loss. The project presents an innovative method applicable both to the industry and the training a qualified work force. © 2021, The Design and Technology Association. All rights reserved.

    Planning Competencies and Transformative Pedagogy for Sustainable Development
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Bafarasat, Abbas Ziafati; Baker, Mark; Cheshmehzangi, Ali; Goodspeed, Robert; Scott, Mark; Sharifi, Ayyoob; Katsigianni, Xenia
    Understood as "a means by which society decides collectively what urban [and rural] change should be like and tries to achieve that vision by a mix of means.", there is broad consensus that planning should fully incorporate the notion of sustainable development. Planners have a critical role in envisioning and driving local transitions to sustainable development. This requires transforming what planners learn and how they learn in higher education. This study is the first to identify a set of planning competencies for sustainable development. It proposes in three areas planning competencies for sustainable development, including (a) knowledge to understand human settlements, (b) skills to plan sustainable settlements, and (c) values to stand for sustainable communities. Following a conceptual analysis of transformative pedagogy as a superior theoretical approach to teaching for sustainable development, this study is also the first to identify types of transformative learning activities, including (1) unlearning- relearning activities, (2) learning through new experiences, and (3) ill-structured problem solving. The study therefore makes original contributions to both planning and education literature, in addition to its interdisciplinary methodological contribution through an original design of 'framing and

    Medical Geology Outreach: a Major Success Story From Turkey
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Baba,A.; Finkelman,R.B.
    It is incumbent upon medical geology practitioners to reach out to students, science faculties, decision makers, and the biomedical/public health communities to promote this emerging discipline. Perhaps the most successful of these efforts have taken place in Turkey where medical geology courses have been offered in four medical and ten engineering faculties. As a result of these outreach efforts by the Turkish medical geology community for the past decade, there has been robust interactions with scientists from many disciplines and collaborative research on groundwater quality, asbestos, radon, arsenic, mesothelioma, fluorosis, etc. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
