    The professor made a distinction between learning and deeper learning and he says deeper learning differs as it does not suggest superficial comprehension. Actually, deeper learning is not something specific to science learning; it is learning with understanding (as far as I understood). Deeper learning is what we mean by learning, is not it?
  • sermin vardal ocakli on 07 Oct 13
     
    Deeper learning is what we are supposed to teach our students. Not superficial but deep and comprehensive knowledge. I don't think that the professor limits it to science learning since he doesn't focus on one subject area "science". What he says is that no matter what students learn, they should be guided and provided help in order to let them get comprehensive and permanent knowledge. Superficial knowledge which is gathered through memorization is more likely to be forgotton soon.

    What if teachers understood how to reach students so well that children feel included? It would be wonderful to find out the answer of this question, because the sense of isolation ibs the biggest barrier between students and teachers and it is really difficult to overcome.

    Thank you Defne :-) I don't know why but I always like reading the issues we discuss in well-known magazines and this is one of them :-)) Up to know, we've mostly tended to make a link between feelings and psychology, but now we see that our feelings and actions are closely connected with neurons, smtg physical. I wish we could understand all its implications on education. Perhaps in the future...

    A visionary article from Mitchel Resnick. "The shift in focus from "information" to "knowledge" is an improvement. But I prefer a different conception: the "Creative Society." As I see it, success in the future will be based not on how much we know, but on our ability to think and act creatively"

    This is a good writing which explains the paradox and gives specific examples on his issue.
  • Evrim Baran on 29 Oct 13
     
    This explains many things :) "The moral of the spotlight effect is that we think everyone is paying attention to everything we do, consumed with our tiny missteps and bad hair days, but they aren't. Why? Because they are busy thinking about you paying attention to their tiny missteps and bad hair days. The bad news is that people are pretty self-absorbed thinking others are paying attention to them. The good news is that people aren't paying that much attention to you, so don't worry so much about what others will think if you do x, y, or z."
  • sermin vardal ocakli on 29 Oct 13
     
    "EXPERT" is a very powerful word. It gives many responsibilities to the people who are considered "experts" in their fields. As the writer says, "It is hard to let others know that you don't know everything they think you know." What professional and social pressure on people! I don't know how to get rid of such feelings but I think people should be aware of the fact that being a leader and at the same time an expert necessiates at least 20,000 hours of deliberate practice :-))

    I totally agree, children manage to see the things from so different perspective from us that I always surprised with their way of thinking in my practice classess. I think every children born with the instinction of curiosity which is a gift for human beings. As a teacher we should trigger that force instead of putting barriers front of fit.

    I also follow that blog, so interesting publishes she has. For this one, Children have no idea about their environment for the first sight. So they wonder, explore, make sense of it and try to get into use. Isn't it similar with the process of scientists? And they are maybe even more creative than those. Wish we keep the child in ourselves as long as possible:)

  • afranur on 02 Nov 13
     
    I totally agree with the idea. If you had a chance of observing little kids around you, you may have seen that they have lots of questions that even we as grown ups do not know the answer. also, the simple answers that you provide for them are never enough for them. Our professor Mr. Ok shared his experience with one of his colleague's daughter. a five year old girl learned from her parents that she came to the world as her father and mother loved each other so much. When she saw that our professor do not have a child she concluded that he doesn't love his wife so much :) and then her parents had to provide a new answer for her curiosity about how she came to world.

    I was in Australia last year; it is a totally different culture and the issues they discuss about education and teaching are grately different from us. To stop bullying and discrimination, they plan to create a better school environment such as better changing rooms, toilet facilities, and mixed sporting teams. I will continue to share about educational news in Australia which may help us learn and keep an eye on a different culture.

    Schank is one of the leading pioneers in artificial intelligence, cognitive science and learning theory. One of his quotes has gripped my attention when I had a look at his page. He states "Education must remain a process where an individual learns to discover oneself and, in doing so, endeavour to improve the human condition. For our future, it is important that we teach our children that reading and learning can be enjoyable and intrinsically rewarding." He emphasizes how important learning by doing is, and believes that we should put conventional teaching methods aside because these make school horrible. In order to make it less horrible, softwares,let's say, technology should be involved in existing educational system, which is already broken.

    Kids like technology for certain reasons like entartainment or searching data. Altough it sounds a good idea to insert some info into games, I observe that children all over the world like games related to killing, stealing or car racing.
  • sermin vardal ocakli on 22 Oct 13
     
    I think games always work and the company seems really successful at locating the points children may find interesting and enjoyable. After reading your post, I watched a video at youtube, Hickory-Dickory Dock and it was very enjoyable. It teaches not only vocabulary but also how to tell time. It seems a really effective tool. Like the company, I also think that students should be exposed to the changes in the technology. There is always a world outside the classroom and they should keep themselves up-to-date. And our job is to provide them with such opportunities.
  • canannn on 23 Oct 13
     
    Actually your point is really important, changes in the technology should be followed and used as a tool in the classroom, the tools that are significant in terms educational value for sure. Or the other end would include only games on stealing or killing as mentioned. I have checked out Hickory-Dickory Dock now and it seems effective to me as well. The website "mindshapes.com", provides us with detailed information on the games.

    This is an example of learning on an Island of Expertise. For example: A child is interested in dinosaur. The parents maybe make some activities which build an island of expertise. Activities could be a visit in a museum or a movie about the topic.

    Similar projects can be done at schools about the animals or things around us (like visiting a dog barn or visiting a factory). Such visits may help students get motivated about the world around them.

Multimodal Affect Recognition in Intelligent Tutoring Systems - 1 views

    In human-interaction, 55% of affective information is carried by the body whilst 38% by the voice tone and volume, and only 7% person by the words spoken [1]. Ekman [2] further suggests that non-verbal behaviours are the primary vehicles for expressing emotion. With the availability of computational power, and great advances in the fields of computer vision and speech recognition, it is now possible to create systems that can detect facial expressions, gestures and body postures from video and audio feed. Furthermore, systems that can integrate different modalities can offer powerful and much more pleasant computer experiences as they would be embracing users' natural behaviour.
  • leventmetu on 10 Nov 13
     
    In the paper it says "According to Wolcott teachers rely on nonverbal means such as eye contact, facial expressions and body language to determine the cognitive states of students, which indicate the degree of success in the instructional transaction". I really wonder what is your opinion about it and would it be succesful to implement affect recognition (after voice-recognition) in intelligent tutoring systems.

    Thanks for the source:-) As far as I understood, some benefits of these programs are based on some assumptions. For instance, these programs assume that learners are autonomous. That's why they are mostly useful with adults. Or the expertise of the online tutor. The assumption behind is that they are better than the ones in the classroom. Therefore, each benefit brings its risks...

    Thank you İbrahim, I think the con about distraction is very important (It requires more discipline, Your child would have to keep his focus on the screen without getting distracted by emails, IM's or Facebook.) Any ideas to prevent getting distracted?
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 13 Nov 13
     
    For me it is important to be aware of that in foreign language instruction, the movement of your mouth can be really important in getting pronunciation right. That's harder to teach online. If the subject or homework assignment specifically requires the child to write on paper, it's much harder for an online tutor to read along with the student. So it works better for some subjects

  • Evrim Baran on 12 Nov 13
     
    I am also curious to hear more about the design principles behind these kind of tutors. I wonder if the designers followed a particular ID model.
  • Sinem Hizli Alkan on 12 Nov 13
     
    I checked it also but when I made an error(Of course it was in purpose B-) the feedback was not like a feedback. And I am also curious what is the meaning of those triangles and trees on the coordinate system according to designer.
  • leventmetu on 12 Nov 13
     
    I think the designers of these kind of tutors rely on some accepted design principles like representing student competence or minimize working memory load, but they also follow pedagogical guidelines which impose them to find the most appropriate ID model. Since the analogy might be taken too literally they do not prefer to build an ITS modeled on human tutors. So I think there is no specific ID model for the designers but it should be an employee rather than an employer.
