Statistical Analysis of Vehicle Driver Behaviors
(Amer Inst Physics, 2018) Saracli, Sinan; Gazeloglu, Cengiz
Purpose of this study is to examine the drivers' attitudes and behaviors in traffic via statistical techniques. With this purpose, the reactions of the motor vehicle drivers in traffic, correlations between negative reactions and personality characteristics and how they describe themselves and how they feel while they are driving have been examined. The participants of this study are composed of 500 drivers in Afyonkarahisar Province dates between 01 April - 30 June 2016. To measure the drivers attitudes and behaviors in traffic, a Likert scale type questionnaire, which was used in Cmar 's (2007) study, ranging from 1 'strongly disagree' to 5 'strongly agree' is applied on a face-to-face basis. Because of some unfilled and wrong filled questionnaires, the statistical analyses were applied to over 440 questionnaires. Drivers attitudes and behaviors and the behavior types whether they do or they exposure, on their feelings and determinations of themselves as a driver were examined via CHAID and Multi Dimensional Scaling Analysis. SPSS Software is used to perform the statistical analysis. Some of the important results of the analysis showed that drivers who feel themselves aggressive while driving, determine themselves as drivers since they were born. Physical attack / fighting: as a behavior that they were exposed to was also found significant on the variable of determining themselves as how driver they are.

"Literally I Grew Up" Secondary-Tertiary Transition in Mathematics for Engineering Students Beyond the Purely Cognitive Aspects
(De Gruyter Open Ltd, 2023) Vinerean, Mirela C.; Liljekvist, Yvonne Elisabeth; Bengu, Elif
High dropout rates in the first year of undergraduate studies are an expression of the secondary-tertiary transition problem and they seem to be particularly high in those degree programs where specialized mathematics courses are taught in the first year of study. Research shows that students' difficulties during the transition period cannot be reduced to purely cognitive factors. In this article, we address the secondary-tertiary transition problem in mathematics for engineering students. Based on a questionnaire with focus beyond the purely cognitive aspects, a comparison of the transition problem at three European mid-sized universities is carried out, to identify common challenges and difficulties, as well as differences. The questionnaire concentrates on the four dimensions (personal, organizational, content related, and social) and corresponding critical requirements for a successful transition described in Trautwein, C., & Bosse, E. (2017). The first year in higher education - critical requirements from the student perspective. Higher Education, 73, 371-387. A group of 308 first-year engineering students partook in the study. In the presentation, we highlight students' perceptions regarding the transition, changes, and challenges they experienced under the above-mentioned four dimensions and discuss similarities and differences between countries. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
