These verses from the 1996 song Kapıkule'ye Kadar (Until Kapıkule, the border checkpoint between Bulgaria and Turkey) by the hip-hop duo Karakan is a portrayal of the typical homeward journeys of Turkish migrant families that started in the 1960s and continue today. A migrant family who travels to Turkey from a Western European country for their summer holiday by car or van with a trunk full of various objects and goods is a common memory in Turkey. Both members of the duo Karakan are children of first-generation Turkish migrant families in Germany, and their song paints a detailed picture of a once very familiar trip to Turkey based

Being a creative process that enables academics to meet students' needs and to raise innovative individuals, it emerges as a contemporary pedagogic tool, which can be used in all levels of education. Despite its growing importance, the implementation of design thinking into business education is slow and partial, although business education today is in a crisis as traditional pedagogic tools fall short of raising individuals who can meet the challenges of the 21 st century. This study explores current trends in applying design thinking into higher education, with a particular focus on the strategies of leading schools. Using a case study approach, we provide an initial road map for educational organizations, and in particular for business schools, which strive for integrating this new tool into their curricula.

Bu araştırma iki ana adımdan oluşmaktadır. İlk adımda yenilikçi tasarım araç ve yöntemleri ile tasarımda fikir üretme sürecinde kullanılan görseller karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu süreçte kullanıcı kaynaklı fotoğrafların yapısı ve özellikleri üzerinde özellikle durulmuştur. Bu adım kullanıcı kaynaklı fotoğrafların, bu fotoğrafların kaynağı ve bu fotoğraflara ulaşmak için izlenilen arama stratejilerinin getirileri gibi iki içi içe geçmiş nedenden dolayı ürün tasarımı sürecinde potansiyel bir ilham kaynağı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmanın ikinci adımında kullanıcı kaynaklı fotoğrafların tasarımda fikir üretme sürecinde kullanılması için atölye çalışması formatında ...

Clinical diagnosis involves the observation, description and interpretation of information of which visual ones take an important one. The skills described are important skills in the field of visual arts, as well. Underlying a good clinical practice; clinical examination and observation skills constitute an important place. Although in several studies, these skills are shown to be improved by analyzing visual art pieces, courses intended to improve visual thinking skills are not that much common in medical faculty curriculums. Materials and methods In this article, we share our opinion about the use of visual thinking in medical education by providing preliminary reflection results of learners from the second year of medical education about the visual thinking course that we have recently started to apply in Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with Faculty of Fin...

Kullanıcı odaklı endüstriyel tasarım araç ve yöntemleri de kullanıcı deneyimlerini onların gözünden anlamaya çalışmak yönünde gelişmiştir. Tasarımda fikir üretme sürecinde kullanılan araç ve yöntemlerin önemli ortak özelliklerinden biri kullanıcılardan görsel yöntemlerle ve görsel olarak ifade edilebilecek şekilde bilgi toplamalarıdır. İnsanların bireysel bakış açılarını anlama-nın gitgide önem kazandığı tasarım pratiği içinde, İnternet'ten ulaşılabilen kullanıcı kaynaklı fotoğraflar, insanların gönüllü olarak kendi hikayelerini anlatmak için İnternet'e yükledikleri, kişilerin bireysel bakış açılarını yansıtan fotoğraflar oldukları için, fikir üretme sürecinde tasarımcılar için alternatif bir görsel ilham kaynağı olabilirler. Abstract While the practices of industrial design is changing alongside the social and technological developments, it has been better understood that it is important to understand the user experiences and user' s point of view and to build an empathic understanding of the users in order to be successful in design. The tools and methods employed in user-centred design processes also developed towards understanding user experiences from the user' s point of view. Employing visual methods in collecting user information, collecting visual user information or information that could be expressed in visual forms, is one of the important common features of design ideation tools and methods. The user-generated photographs are voluntarily uploaded photographs of people' s own narrations representing their individual points of views. In an era where it becomes more important to understand the individual points of views of people in design practice, the user-generated photos available at the Internet can be an alternative visual source of inspiration in design ideation.

The Teos of Dionysos Game is a digital platform that allows players without specialist computer skills to explore the archaeological knowledge and experience an ancient urban setup. A mythological story about the God Dionysos has been verbally and visually transcribed and adapted for four distinctive settings of this ancient site. The familiar realm of an interactive space, navigated by intuitive behaviours in a game setting, conveys archaeological data, allowing players to build an empathic understanding of ancient architecture. Diverse stakeholders have already tested a mobile game prototype in a workshop, which explored whether those without a prior historical background can advance their existing knowledge through activities that aim at providing entertainment.
