Observations and Quotes and Interpretations:

Students were seemed comfortable and entertaining but sometimes they could not give specific answers because they could not remember the orientation experience. Some of them just wanted to give an answer but some of them think carefully to give the right answer also because some questions were similar they wanted to change their answers to give the most correct answer.

INTERVIEWS-1

INTERVIEWS-1

Students we talked to thought orientation is an important part of adapting to school and they found the information useful, but they said some of the activities didn’t really resonate with them.

They found the seminars to be unmemorable and felt like they couldn’t get acquainted with the personnel. They found themselves having a hard time with orienteering games and suggested that there should be more social activities.

During the orientation program they feel university as their second home.They said orientation days were enough but the content was not especially the information about ELC is not comprehensive, effective.

INTERVIEWS-1They said that it would be better if the orientation become 2 days and lies on human interactions. The results of the grades that they gave for the orientation is average 3 and the orienteering is 2.

According to them the most unnecessary seminar was KURES, the most important was Dormitory and the most important one that they did not listen was Library and CIT=)

The most exiting subject for them to talk was orienteering.

Some interviews were made with 2 people so some of them were likely to change their answers according to the others.

INTERVIEWS-2


She was sick so we did our interview on skype. She looked like she is really interested in this subject and she really wants to change things as we think. She was so exited about the things that she make and she really wants our feedback.

PLACE

Skype

INTERVIEWS-2

She is not completely satisfied with the current orientation program. Some of the things that they want to acquire is not probable because of the increased number of the students and inadequate space.

She also wants to lower orientation to 2 days and make it rely on human interactions by decreasing the number of seminars. And to do so she offers video seminars or podcasts.

She thinks that club activities should be held on 2 days.

INTERVIEWS-2

While looking for a mentor she takes those into consideration; GPA to understand how responsible he is, club activities how social he is and the motivation from the interviews.

She says that according to the research that they have made students are more likely to whether hate or love the orienteering game but the responses to the seminars were in the average. And the most important thing that they should add in orientation is how to add and drop courses.

INTERVIEWS-3

INTERVIEWS-3

She says that they are more interested in social media when they are planning the last and the new orientations.

They want people to have fun during orientation period and attribute to it with taking photos etc.

She also admits that students don’t listen most of the seminars but some information is better than nothing and even if they notice the person later in school who gives the seminar is a good thing for them but they also want to remove some of the seminars.

INTERVIEWS-3

She also says that there are some constraints such as space, and budget.

She thinks that the human factor should not be decreased by transferring all the seminars into the computer.

She thinks that the orientation presentations should also be reachable from the internet.

Inspirations for them;

Harvard, Standford, Bilkent, agencies.

INTERVIEWS-3

She said that there are already an online library learning system in dos.ku.edu.tr as we thought and there is a web page as uyumgunleri.ku.edu.tr

According to the survey they made students give 4.17 (out of 5) for the orientation period and the lowest grade has given to the orienteering (3.98).

She says that the orientation period is related to more then 5 compartments of school so it is difficult to manage it.

INTERVIEWS-5

Student Club Stands

As a newcomer, when I went to get information about to clubs, the first thing in my mind was to learn whether if they would fit me. I wanted to take part in school’s social activities and at the same time do something I enjoyed. So when I went up there I asked them how would the club work and what was expected of the club members.

BY MEHMET GOKLEN

THE TOPKAPI EXPERIMENT

We understood that in a very big place as our schools finding places or objects doesn’t take more that 15-20 minutes. The main informing panels are needed for every courtyard, in our case; for every faculty courtyard and building.


This is Duygu’s experiment. I have given the name of some places for her to find it and I have followed her while she was trying to find those places or objects. Kubra and Mehmet also experienced the same thing.

THE TOPKAPI EXPERIMENT-RESULTS

THE TOPKAPI EXPERIMENT-MAPS

THE TOPKAPI EXPERIMENT-MAP-

RESULTSIn the map, architecture and shape of building were more helpful to find given space or object. In each courtyard there should be "now you are here" point. Each courtyard has a main signboard but it is not clear that what is the exact place of something or somewhere. Signboards just told us what is include in each courtyard but not exact places of them. Having a architectural map is helpful to go around in a conscious way. Four places which are expected to find by our experiment is founded in 8.58 minutes.

THE TOPKAPI EXPERIMENT-MAP-RESULTS

SOSo instead of panels with the name of the places, much more memorable signatures of the places can be created.

Such as a tile decoration can be an evoker for the harem, or a tower can be an evoker for the justice and Divan. Or a train can be a evoker for the Engineering Faculty and a specific art peace for Social Sciences or Vehbi Koç for Case.

How to make sure that MAVA is not just “fun”Informing videos of 5 minutes for every department can be shoot and shown in the orientation and also can be put in the web page of our university.

Informing and different seminars can be given in the school period titled with attracted names such as “Hayat Mava’ya Güzel!”

Well information should be given in the “tercih dönemi”.

How to give information in the seminars

To summarize the numbers (which sometimes get cited differently) learners retain approximately:90% of what they learn when they teach someone else/use immediately.75% of what they learn when they practice what they learned.50% of what they learn when engaged in a group discussion.30% of what they learn when they see a demonstration.20% of what they learn from audio-visual.10% of what they learn when they’ve learned from reading.5% of what they learn when they’ve learned from lecture.


A mistake often made in developing training, is to learn ANYTHING, you must practice it. A simple analogy, I can show you a video and provide in class material about riding a bicycle, and give you instruction about how it works, the names of the parts, and even the history of bicycles. Could you then get on a bicycle and ride it? NO.

Practicing the behaviors you want your learner to have is paramount for their success to apply them on the job.


Many folks think that all you have to do is shine a PowerPoint on the wall and people are trained; people think that training is easy and anyone can do it - wrong - very wrong!

So a new kind of teaching the departments of the university and the programs that students should use has to change!!!

New Inspirations

DSM Organizations that creates games;

Such as drawing the place you want to be- Your Koç

Scavenger Hunt; A scavenger hunt is a game in which the organizers prepare a list defining specific items, which the participants seek to gather all items on the list – usually without purchasing them – or perform tasks or take photographs of the items, as specified. The goal is usually to be the first to complete the list, although in a variation on the game players can also be challenged to complete the tasks on the list in the most creative manner.

FINDINGS

Finding places or objects doesn’t take more that 15-20 minutes. BUT with a proper map we can reduce it to 10 minutes.

When people are trying to find specific objects or persons in a specific place they first try to find the place that they can correlate with it . In this case to find the New Comers Manager, you try to find the specific place that she/he is working withDean of Students (Topkapı HançeriHazine)

HEADLINES

People are more likely to think that important buildings should be the bigger ones, or the ones in the center (Sünnet Odası/Ogrenci Dekanlıgı).

Directive panels are needed in huge and complex spaces.

Extra extra extra:

People can estimate the place according to its inner design (Seeing an inner picture of a place may be helpful to find itkafes/Divan-ı Humayun

HEADLINES

People are tend to find places with maps that looks exactly alike to the buildings itself.

BUT also definitive images of the places are helpful. This type of images are evocative for people.

People are more tend to find places with games.

HEADLINES

Orientation should be not much more than 2 Days

Seminars can be move to the computer with podcasts or videos but not all of them (Dormitory etc).

Orienteering game should be structured again for everyone.

ELC information should be added in orientation

Add and drop information should be included also.

HEADLINES

Social media is important

An orientation should be prepared for advisors also.

Realistic maps can be put in the campus or evocative designs.

Practicing is mandatory for some seminers.

When we ask students if the orientation was good they said yes but they gave 3 out of 5 for it.

I AM EXCITED TO

Provide new possibilities for the new comer’s way finding and orienteering game.

Cooperate with the new comers office to develop and improve orientation process

Finding signs for faculties

Finding new ways to think about design elements of the orientation.

INSIGHTSNEW COMER OFFICE POV

Workers in the New comers office are also not satisfied with the current orientation and not in the same mood with the Dean of Students.

They are also think the same things as we thought about the online seminar system and human relations.

ADVISOR POV

They also think that they are not very informed about the orientation process and think that they also need orientation.

They also think that mentees should be in touch with them too.

HOW MIGHT WE

Make new comers office more active in the orientation process and how can we find a common place for both Dean of Students and NC Office.

Prepare an orientation for the advisors and help them to make more connections with the mentees.
