Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 29Rapport, Motivation, Participation, and Perceptions of Learning in U.S. and Turkish Student Classrooms: A Replication and Cultural Comparison(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-08-08) Frisby, Brandi N.; Slone, Amanda R.; Bengu, ElifBuilding on previous rapport research, Hofstede's dimensions of culture, and calls for culture-centered instructional research, this study examined instructor-student rapport in U.S. and Turkish college classrooms. U. S. participants (N = 143) and Turkish participants (N = 185) completed measures of rapport, state motivation, participation, and perceptions of learning. Results revealed no differences in state motivation and perceptions of learning, but U. S. students reported significantly more rapport with their instructors while Turkish students reported significantly more participation in the classroom. Rapport significantly predicted state motivation, participation, and perceptions of learning in both samples, but accounted for different levels of variance in the student outcomes.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Exploring Transdisciplinary Interaction in Higher Education: Urbanism Through Informal Learning Environment(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025) Kesim, Berk; Bengu, ElifPurposeThis study aims to explore interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary interactions around sustainability, focusing on the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). By using the city as an informal learning space, it presents a case study to raise SDG awareness, promote interdisciplinarity, foster critical thinking and empower students.Design/methodology/approachUsing qualitative content analysis, this study explores students' interdisciplinary engagements. The research centers on student-created Logbooks, combining field data for analysis via open coding.FindingsThe informal setting facilitates transdisciplinary interaction and enriches interdisciplinary skills while retaining individuals' disciplinary tendencies.Research limitations/implicationsFactors like local geographical conditions and participant numbers could lead to minor variations in future course applications. Although initial problem topics and discussions are confined to local urban geography, they might diversify during implementation.Practical implicationsThe Logbook serves as a guide for local urban issues and embodies interdisciplinary outcomes. It can be enhanced with maps and problem zoning.Social implicationsDemonstrates effective SDG integration into higher education.Originality/valueThis study spotlights interdisciplinary learning within an unconventional context - urbanism - bridging student gaps. Supported by a paradigm shift from sustainability to unsustainability, it underscores the significance of critical engagement with SDGs.
