Authors: Gök Selahaddin
Published: August 2022

İstanbul’un Osmanlı Devleti tarafından 1453 yılında fethi sonrası birtakım düzenlemeler yapılarak camiye dönüştürülen Ayasofya, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nde de bu kimliği ile uzun yıllar hizmet vermiştir. Cumhuriyet ile birlikte başlayan Anadolu’da kurulmuş eski medeniyetlerin izlerini ortaya çıkarma politikası bu yapıyı da etkilemiştir. Bu kapsamda 1931’de Ayasofya’da başlayan Bizans mozaiklerini ortaya çıkarma çalışmaları bir adım daha ileriye taşınmış ve 1934’te tüm insanlığın ortak malı ilkesiyle müzeye dönüştürülmüştür. Bahsedilen abideyi bir ülkeye, dine, ulusa ait olmaktan çıkarıp tüm insanlığın ortak değeri haline getirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ancak çalışmalarla yapıya bir Bizans müzesi kimliğine uygun düzenlemelere ağırlık verilmiştir. Bunun içinde yapının iç, dış ve çevre düzenlemesinde çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Ayasofya’nın iç kısmında Türk-İslam eserlerinin sergilenmesi planlanırken; eski Bizans eserlerini ortaya çıkarma çalışmaları iç kısımdan sonra dış alanlarda da yürütülmeye başlanmıştır.
Bu çalışmada, Ayasofya’nın tarihi geçmişinden ziyade müzeye dönüştürülmesi sürecinde yapılan değişiklikler ortaya konulmuştur. Özellikle cami kimliğinden soyutlanarak nasıl bir dönüşüm geçirdiği, müzeye çevrilmesi sürecinde yapılan çalışmalar ve bu çalışmaların Türk ve dünya kamuoyundaki etkisi irdelenmiştir. Ayrıca, Ayasofya’nın müzeye dönüştürülmesi sürecinde dönemin siyasi ortamında gösterilen tepkiler ise bazı ulusal gazeteler taranarak ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

The plane figure is compulsory mathematics material at all levels of education, including junior high school. However, students still make frequent mistakes in understanding the plane figures' properties. In understanding this topic, students must have the skill to think critically. Critical thinking is a process of rational thinking before deciding or taking action in a more specific direction. Therefore, this study aims to determine students' skills in defining the plane figure's properties. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method. Tests and interviews were used to determine the students' skills in determining the properties of the plane figure. Researchers determined five indicators used to determine students' skills in determining the nature of the plane figure: focusing and formulating, observing and assessing observation results, making and assessing inductions, defining and assessing definitions, and integrating decisions. Three junior high school students were selected as research subjects with high, medium, and low skill levels, respectively. The data analysis used descriptive analysis using method triangulation and theory triangulation. The research results show two students' mathematical critical thinking patterns based on their skills. The subjects with high and medium skills can solve all problems with a small error rate and fulfill all predetermined critical thinking skills indicators. On the other hand, the subject with low skills has not been able to solve problems, so no critical thinking indicators are met. There is a misunderstanding on high and moderate skills subjects. Neither understand the meaning of opposite angles and parallel lines in specific plane figures. It can be a reference for teachers to improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts.

Authors: Noviani Julia
Published: August 2022

Metaphorical thinking is one way of thinking in building abstract concepts through concrete things. Abstract ideas in metaphorical thinking are metaphorized into real-world things. This study aims to describe the metaphorical thinking profile of junior high school students in solving algebraic problems. The problem-solving steps used are the Polya model and the stages of metaphorical thinking using the CREATE criteria by Siler. This research is qualitative research using a descriptive approach. This study involved one of the seventh-grade students in a private junior high school in Surabaya who got the highest score on the preliminary test, namely the mathematical ability test. The data collecting technique employed in this study was problem-solving assignments and semi-structured interviews. Time triangulation was performed to assess the data from this study's credibility. Based on the analysis results, the subject has not been optimal in revealing the CREATE criteria for metaphorical thinking. The research subject has not been able to find a suitable metaphor for the algebra problem, so the subject did not reveal the Connect and Relate criteria. However, the subject revealed Explore criteria by designing mathematical models on the algebraic problem. The subject was able to determine the mathematical processes needed to solve the problem for the Analyze criteria, and the subject was also able to explain the procedures she took before. The subject discovered the Transform criteria by inferring and interpreting data based on earlier work. Last, the subject revealed the Experience criteria by explaining a new challenge using the model that had been created previously.

Published: August 2022

This study aims to reveal women's resistance to patriarchal domination in Timun Mas's folklore. This study uses a feminist approach to discuss the resistance that women do to defeat patriarchal domination. The data analysis used in this study is descriptive and qualitative. The results of this study show that women and their mothers managed to defeat the patriarchal dominance depicted through the character of Buto Ijo. Buto ijo is a representation of patriarchal domination that existed in society at that time so that female figures resisted the domination that limited it. The resistance carried out by Timun Mas was carried out in the following ways, (1) defending by outsmarting Buto Ijo, (2) fighting him directly using sprinkling bags that grow vines, throwing salt and paste on Buto Ijo, (3) The female character dares to resist domination and is able to decide on a personal decision to seize her right to stay alive. Thus it can be concluded that women are objects of men, which results in women being dominated to give up their lives to eat. Thus, with this dominance, women need to fight and fight for their rights.
