Culture and education: new frontiers in brain plasticity - 3 views

  •  
    I am really effected by the construct neuroplasticity as I read. I had read it as neuro-elasticity before but now I believe they are different terminologies or I am not sure:) So this article is about new emerging themes on neuroplasticity and its relation with education and culture. The figure showing the variables influencing brain plasticity is really good I think.

    I always like the cross cultural studies! Culture is shaped by society which has millions of 'brains' so it would not be so realistic and reasonable not to talk about culture in neuroscience and neuroplasticity.
  •  
    me too:) I also believe in the same idea, culture should be an issue to take into account in the process.
  •  
    Canan, I was questioning the role of culture in neurosceience when I saw the article you shared, many thanks:) In the figure presenting the variables affecting the brain plasticity, education and culture intersects. For me, culture shapes education in a society (both formal and informal education). It determines people's identity, behaviors, attitudes and thinking patterns. So, it is for sure that it has an influence on brain plasticity.
  •  
    Yes I agree with you culture is in relation with lots of different elements that can be important for brain development or plasticity, the fact that cognitive structure Of the brain changes with culture seems important to keep in mind.

    It is a nice movie and a nice illustration of the flow theory:) thanks for sharing it...
  •  
    Actually, I really like the last verses of him; I am pretty tired, I think I'll go home now:) Because that is the way I feel when I really get tired of doing something even if the activity is in my flow channel :)
  •  
    So let's hope that we will have this tireness just in the end of this 'long run' of EDS542 ;)
  •  
    I really liked your share on this movie. This made me think of some example movies, in Dekalog 1 movie, there was this little boy who continually asked questions on life's big issues, trying to figure out meaning. His learning motivation was so high, maybe that can be an additional example :)
  •  
    Kiewslovski movie! I especially like the scene when father and son calculate whether the son could skate safely or not. He has a great deal of curiosity and father leads his motivation via scientific methods;)
  •  
    definitely Sinem :)) you summarized the kid's motivation and situation very well :))

summarizing DBR - 2 views

  •  
    The web page can help us understand some basic characteristics of DBR. There is a nice summarizing figure and there is information on its history and purposes.
  •  
    I especially liked methodological challenges part, thanks:)
  •  
    Yes that part made me think as well, as I see some people prefer using different terminologies for DBR and they have their justifications:)

    Thanks for sharing this Burcu, James Paul Gee has many studies concentrating on applications of situated learning, he is an important figure for us.
  •  
    thank you burcu for sharing this with us it reminded me the game "SimCity" :)

    I wish we had been born in this era. Students are so lucky. I can't imagine learning through such tools. We were all born into textbooks:-(

ISSUES IN MEASURING SITUATED COGNITION: CASES OF SITUATIONAL JUDGMENT TESTS - 0 views

  •  
    SJTs have long history of being used for measuring situated cognition; they have been used from 1920's(McDaniel, et. al., 2001). Although SJT has been originated from the conception of measuring dimensions, it has been viewed as a measurement method(e.g., McDaniel, et. al., 2001; Weekly & Jones, 1999) because it has been difficult to delineate the dimensions and situations. The situations represented by scenarios in SJTs are viewed as method from psychometric sense, meaning that situation effect, scenario effect, or method effect are all interchangeable.
  •  
    This source brings a focus to our readings I think; the assessment part. The example was partly hard for me to follow I have to say,I kinda got lost :) But I found the idea of the togetherness of knowledge dimensions and situational scenarios as methods. Thank you sharing
  •  
    Canan, you are completely right about the sample SJT for situated cognition. I still try to figure out..But I can share a very easy form of SJT.

Motivation - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology - 1 views

  •  
    A webpage explaining a general overview of theories related to learning and motivation. You can scroll down to see the animation explaining the balance between skills and challenges.

    I liked this article because the figüre illustrating Maslow's hierarchy of needs was illustrative. The article differentiates btw mastery and performance goals. It emphasizes self efficacy and Weiner's Attribution theory and finally has a different figure for flow.
