Bu çalışmada eğitim kurumlarında karşılaşılan ders proje gruplarının oluşturulması problemi için bir matematiksel model önerilmiştir. Bu problemin çözümünde kullanılan en yaygın yöntem, grupların öğrenciler tarafından oluşturulmasıdır. Ancak bu yöntemde gruplar sadece arkadaşlık ilişkileri dikkate alınarak oluşturulduğu için yetenek açısından dengesiz gruplar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu dezavantajı ortadan kaldırmak amacıyla geliştirilen model, yetenek açısından dengeli gruplar oluştururken aynı zamanda öğrencilerin grup arkadaşlarını tercih düzeylerini de dikkate almaktadır. Önerilen model, Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi, Endüstri Mühendisliği Bölümü, Rapor Yazma Tekniği dersinde karşılaşılan ders proje gruplarının oluşturulması problemine uygulanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR COURSE PROJECT TEAM FORMATION PROBLEM

Öz

In this study, a mathematical model for course project team formation problem in teaching institutions is presented.  Although self-selection is a common practice, students tend to form the teams due to their friendship by ignoring their skills, which results in unbalanced teams for skill. With the proposed model, balanced teams are formed as compatible with the preferences of students to team members. The proposed model is applied to a real problem: project team formation problem in Report Writing course in Department of Industrial Engineering in Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Turkey.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Course project team formation problem, integer programming
