    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"

    Thanks for sharing this. I would like to check more on the "computer club houses" as some of the things are related to our last week's discussion on informal learning as well as situated learning topic that we will be discussion next week.

    When I was searching about the expertise this article was referred in several pice of papers. So I have reached this one. In this article aouthars mentioned about spontaneous expertise. I think it is a good work to read and understand relationship between expertise and learning development.

    This is the first chapter of the book "The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences" by R. Keith Sawyer. It integrates the foundations of the learning sciences, educational technology, learning processes and the emergence of the field of learning sciences along with the rationale behind this field. I think as an introduction, this chapter will be beneficial to look at before going towards the endpoints.

    I couldnt access the book either :( But it seems very interesting, I would like to read and enjoy it. I have heard about Escher for the first time last year by a friend of mine from mathematics department, I believe Escher himself is a mathematician too, is that right? I am especially a fan of his "Waterfall".
  • Halil Han AKTAŞ on 14 Oct 13
     
    Canan did you try the second link I have added? In fact, he is an artist, but Gödel is. Yet, while trying to explain the nature of meaning, the book gets help from some works by Gödel, Escher and Bach, all of which similarly acquire their meanings by self-referencing and creating formal rules made of meaningless elements. So it is possible to say he is mathematically inspired :) and I like that paradoxal piece too.
  • canannn on 14 Oct 13
     
    Yes, now I have reached the book:) thank you for sharing this with us. Reading on such creative people and getting to know them more is great.

    So, praise is good but we should be careful about what to praise. Yet again, it seems quite hard to praise efforts instead of intelligence considering our education system which is oriented to our success not to our efforts :(

    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.

    İbrahim, I also think that having insights on how different countries approaches educational issues will be an important contribution to the course. Please do keep share these examples.

    Whatever they are named, there are many nice ideas-theories of edcation. Montessori method is one of the contemporary ones which seems to present many potentials for the teachers. One point which looks problematic about Montessori in our education sysytem is motivating students to be actively engaged in activities. The question is "Is there a way to connect activities and heavy academic knowledge?". In other words, Can we help our students to get ready for the exams by engaging them in daily activities? My answer is "not really" :(
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 14 Oct 13
     
    I liked the school environment too much. As far as I can see from the video, Montessori method engages ownership in learning, self-management and authenticity which I most appreciate in a learning process. The students have the chance to relate what they learn with life with willingness and curiosity. But as İbrahim said, my question is "Can we apply this to our education system?". Our children are in a race from the beginning for a endless examination world. Unfortunately, this is a bit utopia for us. However, I think in kindergarten or pre-school period we can apply this. But for high-school or even primary school I am not sure.

    This is a useful source for language teachers including benefits, elements and sample activities of CSCL.

    İbrahim thanks for sharing this source, I believe we should make use of CSCL while both teaching and learning a language. Especially the role of interaction is really important, as teachers our mission is to make this interaction possible I think and there are some good sources for activities.

    We can think that in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning Environments has a pitfall in that it prevents the social construction of knowledge, interactive group learning and shared understanding. In the article, an intelligent CSCL environment is proposed, which is based on awareness about the others in the task and in the non-task context.

    Thanks for the video hocam:-) The story in the article was great and now we have the video of it. I think it accurately depicts the situation. While I was reading the story, it reminded me of the Rorschach test. Everyone sees a different thing when looking at the ink because we belong to different worlds and we go through different psychological and cognitive processes. This is like reading the same book but visualizing people in a different way.

    Thanks for sharing this Ayşegül, I found authentic context and information sharing really important in the explanation about situated learning. We should create situations for our students' internalization of the information. I think when they share, they make the information permament in their mind.

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.
  • canannn on 05 Nov 13
     
    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
  • leventmetu on 05 Nov 13
     
    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.

    I am now convinced of the opportunities of learning that can be provided by games after reading the following quote: "While commercial video games often offer worlds in which players prepare for the actions of soldiers or thieves, the question arises as to whether other types of games could let players prepare for action from different perspectives or identities such as a particular type of scientist, political activist, or global citizen, for instance. "

    I remember many years ago I read a science fiction book about a game which was created to select the President. (Spoiler - The winner of the game was a 13 old year boy:)) Actually games are very interesting and will be very useful for education but the main problem here is the nature of market and the cost. Last week I was reading an article about mobile learning, I think this quote is meaningful for games too "In any case, hardware devices and technical systems are all without exception designed, manufactured, and marketed for corporate, retail, or recreational users. Any educational uses of the devices and the systems are necessarily parasitic and secondary." We have to consider education as "building the nation, building our future" then we can afford the cost and then educational games, devices will not be secondary...
  • canannn on 06 Nov 13
     
    Yelda, honestly, I also used to question the contribution of video games to learning and nowadays, as seeing more examples like the one you shared, I guess yes perspective are changing:) I believe as we also discussed in the forum, the most critical thing is how the material, video or something else is presented to the learners and used, not the material itself.
  • Aysegul Solar on 06 Nov 13
     
    The same material in two differnt hands may serve to two differnt ideologies , beliefs, subject areas hence I do definitely agree with Canan the mentality of the minds who are using those plays the important role.

    Here is a research on the differences between novice and expert teachers' perceptions about students' prior knowledge and how they differ in making use of it. Linking this article to the topic of this week I believe novice teachers bring up novice learners. It is like a vicious circle, I think.

    This document demostrates Skinner's view of learning. I think is an essential reading for learners of learning..:) Certain basic assumptions, essential to any scientific activity, are sometimes called theories. That nature is orderly rather than capricious is an example. Certain statements are also theories simply to the extent that they are not yet facts. A scientist may guess at the result of an experiment before the experiment is carried out.
