Course Objective: The objective of this course is to examine how individuals present themselves on social media platforms, exploring the social and psychological origins of these presentations. The course aims to investigate how individuals construct their digital identities, the relationships they establish with their audiences, and how social media shapes individual self-perception. It also focuses on topics such as identity management, image creation, and perception processes in social media interactions.
Course Goals:
1. Understanding Digital Identity and Self-Presentation: Exploring how individuals present themselves on social media platforms, examining the social, psychological, cultural, and economic factors that influence these presentations.
2. Theoretical Framework and Approaches: Analysing how theoretical models developed around social media and self-presentation (e.g., Goffman's Theory of Self-Presentation) can be applied to the digital world.
3. Awareness of Image and Identity Management in Social Media: Discovering how social media users manage their identities and the individual and societal impacts of this management.
4. Awareness of Privacy and Digital Ethics: Recognizing important issues related to privacy and ethics in social media use and develop an ethical framework for behaviour in the digital world.
5. Examining the Social and Psychological Effects of Social Media: Investigating the impact of identity management and presentation on individuals' social, psychological, and emotional states on social media platforms.

| Course Objective: |
Course Objectives:
1. Developing a Critical Approach to Self-Presentation: Encouraging students to develop a critical perspective on self-presentation on social media; to understand how individuals create images and construct their identities.
2. Investigating Digital Identity and Image Management: Students will gain the ability to analyse their digital identities and be aware of their social media usage. They will also learn online image management strategies and be able to organize their social media content consciously.
3. Conscious Use of Algorithms and Surveillance Systems: Students will become conscious social media users by analysing the effects of algorithms and surveillance mechanisms on self-presentation.
4. Gaining Awareness of Privacy and Ethical Issues: Students will learn to pay attention to ethical and privacy issues in social media use, enabling them to act within ethical guidelines in the digital world.
5. Analyzing the Social and Psychological Effects of Digital Self-Presentation: Understanding the social and psychological effects of identity presentation on individuals, particularly analyzing the effects on youth and communities.
These goals and objectives aim to provide students with both theoretical knowledge about social media and self-presentation and the skills to apply this knowledge in the real world. By the end of the course, students are expected to manage their identities on social media platforms more consciously and effectively, taking social, psychological, and ethical factors into account.

1) 1. Theoretical Lessons and Readings
o Pathway: Weekly lessons and readings supported by academic articles provide students with fundamental theoretical knowledge of the human-space relationship. These resources help them understand the sociological, psychological, and cultural dimensions of the subject.
o Outcome: Students gain a deep understanding of spatial concepts and historical and theoretical perspectives on space.
|
2) 2. Discussions and Group Work
o Pathway: In-class discussions and group work allow students to share different perspectives and critically analyse the topics.
o Outcome: Students develop problem-solving skills by critically evaluating different understandings of space.
|
3) 3. On-Site Observation and Analysis Studies
o Pathway: Through observations and field studies of space, students analyse their surroundings and compare what they have learned with real-world examples.
o Outcome: Students develop the ability to use theoretical knowledge in practice by observing spaces firsthand. Their spatial awareness and critical thinking skills are enhanced.
|
4) 4. Interdisciplinary Learning
o Pathway: The interdisciplinary knowledge provided throughout the semester about the relationship between space and humans contributes to offering alternative and creative solutions for space.
o Outcome: Students develop creative solution proposals for spatial problems and improve their critical thinking skills during this process.
|
5) 5. Digital Space and Simulations
o Pathway: The analysis of digital spaces built in parallel with digital developments and discussions of their possibilities.
o Outcome: Students develop awareness and skills in actively using digital spaces and understanding the elements that influence the construction of these spaces.
