The Impact of Blended Learning Type Flipped Classroom on Autonomous Mathematics Learning

The purpose of this study is to determine (1) the autonomous of learning mathematics taught by the blended learning model of the flipped classroom type in as the senior class in a junior high school in Sokaraja in academi year of 2019/2020, (2) the autonomous of learning mathematics taught by conventional learning models in as the senior class in a junior high school in Sokaraja in academi year of 2019/2020, and (3) whether the learning independence is maintained. A quasi-experimental approach with a non-equivalent control group was employed in this research. The samples utilized in this research were divided into two classes, with one class serving as the experimental class and the other serving as the control class. As a data collecting technique, the independence test was used. The information was then examined using descriptive statistics and the t-test. Based on the findings the following conclusions may be drawn: There are variations in students' learning independence while studying mathematics. Students who get mixed learning model type flipped classroom and students who receive traditional learning models have curved sides.

Biomorphic Design Approaches in Landscape Design and Construction Course Studio

Due to increase in population density in cities, unplanned urbanization, where built areas proliferate and concrete and Due to the decline in open and green spaces in cities, designers have a higher responsibility in the design of these spaces and the furniture that would be utilized in these spaces. The furniture should not only be functional or ergonomic, but also aesthetic and original in these spaces. Thus, it is important to provide furniture that resemble nature or are part of the nature for urban residents instead of designing routine and ordinary spaces. Therefore, the furniture designed by 9 students with biomorphic design approach in senior class Landscape Design and Construction Course studio at Afyon Kocatepe University, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design during the 2019-2020 academic year spring term. Keywords: Landscape Design and Construction; Furniture; Afyon Kocatepe University.

Decline in Relative Strength with Increasing the Body Weight: a Study on Heavy Weight Categories Powerlifters

Relative strength is the amount of strength to the body size. It is the strength to body weight ration. When body size is more, we generally understand that the strength is more with the player. In strength sports like weight lifting, powerlifting the strength of the individual is measured. In weight lifting, the total of snatch, clean and jerk are the factors to decide the winner; however, in powerlifting the total of squat, bench press and deadlift are considered. In this study, 54 senior class powerlifter and 54 junior class powerlifters are treated as subjects. All the subjects from heavy weight categories such as 105kg, 120kg and above 120kg categories are highlighted. The results of the study revealed that the relative strength is decreasing with the increased body weight.

Developing fluency and originality in senior class students’ thinking when solving problems related to Fibonacci numbers

On the basis of the requirements of modern reality with its economic, cultural and social problems, the basic concepts of modern education are changing significantly. School in modern society must focus on the personality of the student, on their holistic development. Various and complex processes that take place in modern society, require to teach, educate and develop people who will be able to solve problems in a non-standard way, i.e. will have inventive, or, as now more often said, creative thinking, the main parameters of which are fluency, originality and flexibility of thinking. To develop fluency and originality of thinking, it is necessary to broaden horizons, off erring the integration of academic subjects with the various aspects of reality around us. These days the tasks of the USE in Mathematics contain problems in probability calculus and combinatorics. Therefore, it is necessary to train high school students to solve such problems. The problems associated with Fibonacci numbers contain many popular publications in mathematics, they are analysed in the classroom of school mathematical circles, they are included in the set of tasks for mathematical Olympiads.

Regina

Regina is Isabelle's eldest child and something of an anomaly when compared to her siblings. While the rest are tall, slender, and athletic, she happens to be short, overweight, and has always preferred books to sports. Such dissimilarities have caused her to feel very insecure about her appearance. Regina has attempted to compensate for her physical shortcomings through her intellectual superiority. So, for example, whenever any of her brothers or sisters teases her about her height, Regina will always respond by reminding everybody that she is “the smartest.” Despite the milieu of anti-intellectualism so pervasive among Indian youths, Regina was pushed to excel academically by her mother who wanted her to have all the opportunities that she herself never had. She graduated high school as valedictorian of her senior class and won a prestigious award for excellence in math and science that included a full scholarship to the college of her choice. This chapter introduces Regina.
