Metaphoric Perceptions of Engineering Students Regarding Concepts of Science, Technology and Design
Öz: The purpose of this study is to identify perceptions of students studying at faculty of engineering regarding science, technology and design through metaphors. The sample group is consisted of a total of 130 students who are at the first, second, third and fourth year of their education in civil engineering department of a state university in the Eastern Black Sea region. The data of the study is collected by having students complete the following sentences: “Science is like ……..; because ……..”, “Technology is like ……..; because ……..”, “Design is like ……..; because ……..”. In this study, which uses phenomenological research pattern within the framework of qualitative research perspective, the data obtained is analyzed through content analysis. In the research, it is seen that metaphors identified by most of the students regarding the concept of science are “space”, “ocean” and “tree”, regarding the concept of technology are “food” and “human”, regarding the concept of design is “imagination”. At the end of the study, it is found that most of the students perceive the concept of science as “infinite”, “changing and developing”, “enlightening”, “life source” and “nerve-shredding”, the concept of technology as “changing and developing”, “facilitating”, “harmful as much as beneficial” and “unlimited”, the concept of design as “imaginary”. Moreover, it is identified that metaphors produced regarding concepts of science and technology are more in numbers compared to metaphors produced regarding the concept of design.

Mühendislik Öğrencilerinin Bilim, Teknoloji ve Tasarım Kavramlarına İlişkin Metaforik Algıları
Öz: Bu çalışmanın amacı mühendislik fakültesi öğrencilerinin bilim, teknoloji ve tasarım kavramlarına ilişkin algılarını metaforlar aracılığıyla tespit etmektir. Çalışma grubunu, Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesinde yer alan bir devlet üniversitesinde İnşaat mühendisliği bölümünün birinci, ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıflarında öğrenim gören toplam 130 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri öğrencilerin, “Bilim…….gibidir; çünkü……..”, “Teknoloji……..gibidir; çünkü……..”, “Tasarım……..gibidir; çünkü……..” kalıplarını tamamlamaları yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımı çerçevesinde olgubilim araştırma deseni kullanılan bu araştırmada, elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada öğrenciler tarafından bilim kavramına yönelik “uzay”, “okyanus” ve “ağaç” metaforlarının, teknoloji kavramına yönelik “yemek” ve “insan” metaforlarının ve tasarım kavramına yönelik ise “hayal gücü” metaforunun en fazla ifade edilen metaforlar olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin çoğunluğunun bilim kavramını “sınırsız”, “değişen ve gelişen”, “aydınlatıcı”, “yaşam kaynağı” ve “merak uyandıran” olarak, teknoloji kavramını “değişen ve gelişen”, “kolaylaştırıcı”, “faydasının yanı sıra zararı olan” ve “sınırsız” olarak ve tasarım kavramını ise “hayal ürünü” olarak algıladıkları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bilim ve teknoloji kavramlarına yönelik üretilen metaforların, tasarım kavramına yönelik üretilen metaforlara oranla sayıca daha fazla olduğu görülmüştür.
