The Best School in the World, Finnish School exhibition at CerModern, Ankara - 8 views
-
My students from last semester shared with me recently. This exhibition at CerModen gives some demonstrations and information about Finnish schools and the learning and teaching environments created within those schools. Finnish educational system has been quite popular around the world because of the students' success in international PISA scores. Please consider visiting this exhibit. Perhaps we can initiate a conversation here and I think Matti's insights would be valuable.

I think the situation you presented is not possible becouse of the process of planning and executing the local curriculum. The teachers, school principals and local authorities in Finland are very engaged in the national core curriculum. Further, there exists space for adjustments, emphases and interpretation inside the national guidelines.

Ok thanks, it is not surprising to rank in 5 if you arrange your system according to the needs of your students and provide high quality teachers.

I have watched the speech today and it was very inspiring for two reasons; Firstly I feel ashamed for the presentations I have made in conferences and lessons. It was one of the most enjoyable and attractive presentations I've ever seen. It was a perfect example for the effective use of presentation technology and pedagogy to explain a concept. Secondly, it is a brief introduction to the TPACK concept. For my field, science education, I think it is particularly important because in science there are a variety of different topic and concepts which are not so easy to understand and visualize most of the times. Moreover, in science education hands-on activities and student-centered acitivities where students take the active role to learn "by doing " are especially important and effective. However, most of the time it is difficult to find appropriate materials and resources for conducting such activities. With an effective use of technology integrated into the classrooms, a teacher might find a way to make his/her students engage in different activities. In addition, there are some topics like solar systems which are diffferent to make observations and conduct experiments within the classroom. On the other hand, with animations, simulations, computer games, projects and so on the teacher might find a way for his/her students to experience activities related to solar system.

There are so many possibilities, as your attached website shows. I'll share here one article: Jari Multisilta is the director of Cicero Learning Network in University of Helsinki, Finland and professor of multimedia in Tampere University of Technology, Information Technology at Pori, Finland. The article I refer here concerns "a platform for mobile social media and video sharing" http://inderscience.metapress.com/content/yvt8503126927577/

This web site provides a lot of information to the person who want to know which composition of components forms TPACK framework. Each TPACK components including TPACK, TPK, TCK, PCK, TK, PK, CK is explained. Pedagogical Content Knowledge seems to be the most important one because TPACK framework is built on PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge)
