Article 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, XeniaUnderstood 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 andArticle Housing Instability and Roma Children's Educational Engagement: Perspectives From Teachers and Volunteers(Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, dept Sociology, 2024) Uştuk, OzanInequalities experienced by the Roma remain a complex challenge, particularly in education. Despite various initiatives, their impact on the Roma communities’ daily lives has been limited. This article is based on applied research aimed at reducing early school-leaving rates among Roma children in Türkiye. The study highlights that the high rates of early school leaving cannot be fully understood without considering the profound impact of housing instability on their educational experiences. By exploring the intersection of educational challenges and housing insecurity through the perspectives of elementary school teachers, preschool teachers, and volunteering university students engaged with a Roma community, the findings reveal that the constant threat of displacement and inadequate living conditions severely disrupt educational engagement, undermining the stability necessary for academic success. However, these perspectives also expose critical gaps in understanding, particularly among educators who often overlook the significance of housing insecurity in shaping educational outcomes. By situating these challenges within the broader context of systemic housing issues, this research underscores the need for comprehensive, community-based interventions that address the root causes of educational inequities among Roma students. The study advocates for a holistic approach to educational equity—one that addresses both the material and psychological dimensions of housing insecurity, thereby creating pathways for genuine social mobility and inclusion for Roma children.Article Citation - WoS: 52Citation - Scopus: 61Factors Influencing Student Information Technology Adoption(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023) VanDerSchaaf, Hans P.; Daim, Tuğrul U.; Başoğlu, Ahmet NuriInnovating service delivery in higher education by leveraging technology is central to supporting goals of transforming higher education to center on the needs of today's students. Aligned with these goals, this article identifies key determinants of student information technology adoption. Using a mixed-methods and empirical approach based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), a web-based survey was administered to undergraduate students at a public university in the Western United States to learn about their experiences with a web-based digital services platform (native mobile app and website), that aids students in accessing services and resources critical to maintaining their enrollment. Structural Equation Modeling, including Principal Components Analysis, was used to analyze 1841 valid survey responses and derive statistical results. The findings suggest that effort expectancy and social influence stand out as critical influences on behavioral intention to adopt the software for accessing university services, and new to UTAUT, that social influence and a students’ basic technology skills are significant determinants of effort expectancy. This article makes unique contributions to the research literature. It applies UTAUT to a higher education context to help explain the critical determinants of the adoption of software for accessing university services. It also provides insights for how UTAUT can be applied in the university setting and offers suggestions for enhancing UTAUT. IEEEConference Object Internship Experience for Learning the Operation of a Cable-Driven Robot for Rehabilitation Tasks(Springer, 2019) Carbone, G.; Cafolla, D.; Ceccarelli, M.; Aydınoğlu, Öndercan; Demirel, MuratThis paper describes an example of internship experience at LARM, Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics, at University of Cassino and South Latium. In particular, the main focus of this paper is the learning process as basis of a proper internship. Namely, a specific experiential learning approach is proposed as referring to a low-cost servo motor operation task. The learning task is further defined and developed as referring to a real application with a cable-driven robot for rehabilitation tasks, which has been designed and built at LARM in Cassino and under further investigation within Agewell project.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 20Learning Styles Diagnosis Based on Learner Behaviors in Web Based Learning(Springer Verlag, 2009) Atman, Nilüfer; İnceoğlu, Mustafa Murat; Aslan, Burak GalipIndividuals have different backgrounds, motivation and preferences in their own learning processes. Web-based systems that ignore these differences have difficulty in meeting learners' needs effectively. One of these individual differences is the learning style. For providing adaptively incorporated learning styles, firstly learning styles of learners have to be identified. There are many different learning models in literature. This study is based on Felder and Silverman's Learning Styles Model and investigates only active/reflective and visual/verbal dimensions of this model. Instead of filling out a questionnaire, learner behaviors are analyzed with the help of literature-based approaches so that learning styles of learners can be detected.
