Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin en fazla tercih edilen Orman Endüstri Mühendisliği bölümlerinden biri olan İstanbul Üniversitesi- Cerrahpaşa, Orman Fakültesi öğrencileri örneğinde, üç boyutlu görsel yorumlama becerilerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Orman Endüstri Mühendisliği bölümü I. Yarıyılında okutulan Teknik Resim dersi öğrencilerinin üç boyutlu düşünebilme, algılama ve yorumlama becerilerinin dönem sonunda dersi tamamladıklarında nasıl değiştiğine dair bulgular incelenmiştir. Öğrencilere dönem başında ve dönem sonunda iki farklı anket formu ile sorgulama yapılarak değişimin gözlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Objelerin iki ve üç boyutlu algılanması, karşılaştırılması ve eşleştirilmesi tarzından görsel şekil soruları ile derse / bilgisayar konularına olan ilgilerinin değerlendirildiği sorular sorulmuştur. Perspektif resimleri verilen parçalara ait görünüşlerin eşleştirilmesi sorusunda, dönem sonunda tam doğru cevap veren öğrencilerin oranının %11 oranında artarak %37,04’ten, %48,15’e yükselmiştir. 3 boyutlu perspektifi verilen objeye farklı açılardan bakışın değerlendirildiği soruda ise perspektif görünüşlerinin tamamını (9 / 9) doğru yanıtlayan öğrencilerin oranı dönem başında %63 iken, dönem sonunda bu oran artarak %88,88’ e yükselmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, dönem sonundaki yapılan değerlendirmede, üniversite birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin üç görünüş ve üç boyutlu değerlendirme sorularında başarı seviyesinin dönem başına göre arttığı görülmüştür.

EVALUATION OF VISUAL SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE SKILLS OF FOREST INDUSTRY ENGINEERING STUDENTS

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to reveal three-dimensional visual interpretation skills in the example of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Faculty of Forestry students, one of the most preferred Forest Industry Engineering programs in Turkey. To that end, findings on how the three-dimensional thinking, perception and interpretation skills of Technical Drawing module students taught in the First Term of the Forest Industry Engineering Department changed when they completed the module at the end of the term is chiefly examined. It was aimed to observe the change by questioning the students with two different questionnaires at the beginning and end of the term. Visual figure questions from the two- and three-dimensional perception, comparison and matching of objects, as well as questions assessing their interest in the module and computers were adressed. At the end of the term, the percentage of students who provided the correct answer to the question of matching the views of the parts whose figures were provided increased by approximately 11% from 37.04% to 48.15%. The rate of students who answered all 3D views correctly (i.e. 9/9) in the question in which the 3D view of the object was evaluated from different angles was 63% at the beginning of the term, while this rate increased to 88.88% at the end of the term. The findings revealed that, in the evaluation made at the end of the term, the level of success of the first year university students in thee-views and three-dimensional assessment questions increased compared to the beginning of the term.
