Yayın Implicit theories and self-efficacy in an introductory programming course(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2018-08) Tek, Faik Boray; Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Deveci, EzgiContribution: This paper examined student effort and performance in an introductory programming course with respect to student-held implicit theories and self-efficacy. Background: Implicit theories and self-efficacy help in understanding academic success, which must be considered when developing effective learning strategies for programming.Research Questions: Are implicit theories of intelligence and programming, and programming-efficacy, related to each other and to student success in programming? Is it possible to predict student performance in a course using these constructs? Methodology: Two consecutive surveys ({N}=100 and {N}=81) were administered to non-CS engineering students in Işik University, Turkey. Findings: Implicit theories of programming-aptitude and programming-efficacy are interrelated and positively correlated with effort, performance, and previous failures in the course. Although it was not possible to predict student course grade the data confirms that students who believe in improvable programming aptitude have significantly higher programming efficacy, report more effort, and get higher course grades. In addition, failed students tend to associate the failure with fixed programming aptitude; repeating students favor fixed programming aptitude theory and have lower programming-efficacy, which increases the possibility of further failure.Yayın Facial expression recognition based on anatomy(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2014-02) Eskil, Mustafa Taner; Benli, Kristin SurpuhiIn this study, we propose a novel approach to facial expression recognition that capitalizes on the anatomical structure of the human face. We model human face with a high-polygon wireframe model that embeds all major muscles. Influence regions of facial muscles are estimated through a semi-automatic customization process. These regions are projected to the image plane to determine feature points. Relative displacement of each feature point between two image frames is treated as an evidence of muscular activity. Feature point displacements are projected back to the 3D space to estimate the new coordinates of the wireframe vertices. Muscular activities that would produce the estimated deformation are solved through a least squares algorithm. We demonstrate the representative power of muscle force based features on three classifiers; NB, SVM and Adaboost Ability to extract muscle forces that compose a facial expression will enable detection of subtle expressions, replicating an expression on animated characters and exploration of psychologically unknown mechanisms of facial expressions.
