    Answer-based and reference-based BERT models for automatic scoring of Turkish short answers: The decisive role of task complexity
    (Izzet Kara, 2025) Kara, Abdulkadir; Kara, Zeynep Avinc; Yildirim, Serkan
    In measurement and evaluation processes, natural language responses are often avoided due to time, workload, and reliability concerns. However, the increasing popularity of automatic short-answer grading studies for natural language responses means such answers can now be measured more quickly and reliably. This study aims to build models for predicting automatic short answer scores using the pre-trained BERT deep learning language model and to reveal their effectiveness. For this purpose, two different score prediction models were created using an answerbased approach that aligns student answers with expert judgements and a referencebased approach that matches student answers with reference answers. The dataset includes answers from 246 Physics department students responding to 4 physicsrelated questions. The performance of these models was evaluated on four physics questions representing varying levels of cognitive complexity, using Cohen's Kappa for statistical comparison of agreement with expert scores. Our findings reveal a clear interaction between model architecture and task complexity. The answer-based model was unequivocally superior for the most complex, multi-class task, effectively capturing diverse, nuanced responses. Conversely, the reference-based model demonstrated a statistically significant advantage for a well-defined, mediumcomplexity binary task. This study concludes that the optimal model for ASAG in Turkish is contingent on the cognitive demands of the assessment task, suggesting that a onesize-fits-all solution may not be the most effective approach. This provides a critical framework for practitioners, demonstrating not only that effective models are feasible for complex languages, but that their selection must be guided by task complexity.

    The New Face of Thinking in Education: Bibliometric Map of Design Thinking
    (2024) Kara, Zeynep Avinç; Kara, Abdulkadir; Yılmaz, Turkan Karakuş
    In the age of information and technology, students are expected to develop skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and creative solutions. Design thinking stands out as an effective approach to develop these skills in education. Design thinking is a method that encourages empathy, creativity, collaboration, and user-oriented solutions and increases student participation in education. As educators are expected to continue applying and researching this approach, this study aims to analyze the current status and development trends of design thinking in the field of education, to reveal the research dynamics, cooperation networks, and impact areas in the field. The bibliometric analysis method was used to provide a holistic perspective in a data-based, numerical, and objective way. Within the scope of the research, the studies published in the ‘Education-Educational Research’ category with the keyword ‘design thinking’ in Web of Science between 2010-2024 were analysed. The bibliometric analysis of research on design thinking in education (DOD) between 2010 and 2024 shows that this field has become an essential subject of study. In these studies led by the USA and China, themes such as creativity, higher education, and experiential learning come to the fore. The concentration of studies in specific journals and by a limited number of prolific authors creates opportunities for new researchers. Citation data emphasise the impact and importance of TOD research on educational practices and outcomes. In addition, the findings of the research may be useful in developing new perspectives and approaches for future studies on design thinking and in examining the existing literature and previous studies from a broader perspective.
