    I want to introduce Sir Ken Rabinson who is a British author, speaker, and international advisor on education in the arts to government, non-profits, education, and arts bodies. He was Director of The Arts in Schools Project (1985-89), Professor of Arts Education at the University of Warwick (1989-2001), and was knighted in 2003 for services to education. Here are interesting TED talks from Prof. Rabinson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9LelXa3U_I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY

    I like watching his inspirational talks , I check the TED talks website for his new videos, he is such a creative person to me. His ideas are both very simply and impressively presented and the way he uses sense of humour is very successful.

    Lee S. Shulman is an educational psychologist having notable contributions to the study of teaching, assessment of teaching, learning, science and mathematics. He is a retired professor from Stanford Graduate School of Education, past president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, past president of the American Educational Research Association. Shulman is best known for popularizing the phrase "pedagogical content knowledge" (PCK). Shulman claimed that the emphases on teachers' subject knowledge and pedagogy were being treated as mutually exclusive. He thought that teacher education programs should combine these knowledge fields.

    While playing computer games, children learn English, thinking and deciding quickly and even how to rule a kingdom. Is there anything new for us, as prospective teachers, to develop our teaching? It seems that some people think so.

    Allan Collins is a retired professor of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University and best known in psychology for his work on semantic memory and plausible reasoning, in artificial intelligence for his work on reasoning and intelligent tutoring systems, and in education for his work on situated learning, inquiry teaching, epistemic forms and games, design research, and cognitive apprenticeship. His famous work with the co-author Richard Halverson is "Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology: The Digital Revolution and Schooling in America" that was published in 2009. I have put the link to download the article presenting a summary of the contents of the book written by Collins and Halverson.

    Beyond textbooks:) Actually if teachers are left alone in finding out brilliant applications and applying it would be no use. Now, we can register online platforms and share. Here, what is unique is that teachers search, gather to discuss, practice and discuss again. This is collaboration in real terms!

Informal Science Learning - 1 views

    Here I share a report on informal science learning. The report synthesizes research on science learning across three primary venues--everyday/family life, designed experiences in informal institutions, and out-of-school programs. The evidence presented suggests that learners' informal experiences with science, from museum visits to television shows to observations in nature, contribute strongly scientific knowledge and engagement. I agree with the fact that such informal experiences boost learning, especially science and additionally language learning.

    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.

    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.

    the page briefly and clearly defines what situated learning is, and shows how to create authentic learning contexts by using digital media. There are very short videos showing situated learning genres and some handouts which can be helpful in the class.

    This is a very helpful and rich source for us, thank you for sharing it. Especially the situated documentary idea is very interesting I think. Making use of technology, simulations, games are such effective ways for solving the mismatch between classrooms and real-world situations.
  • Pınar Mercan Küçükakın on 04 Nov 13
     
    I really liked the use of situated learning genres to make some theoretical concepts more concrete via real world experiences and scenarios. These genres can be integrated with classroom practices depending upon the specific requirements of the subject area, learner group and curricula to be implemented. While watching the video I thought that the situated documentary would help me while learning history when I was at high school. I had difficult times trying to learn history by reading dull history books.
  • Ezgi Hazal KÖK on 05 Nov 13
     
    As you mentioned Pınar, the videos on the website helped me to get the theory very well because of some concrete examples. And also the video "field research" provides a good example for science and vocabulary teaching, I think.

    While I was reading about interactive case scenarios, I remembered some of my friends playing a game on the Internet called "fantasy role play". I am sure most of us have already heard about it because it is very popular among METU students. Actually the major aim of the game is to have some fun, but it can also be organized as a learning tool.

    Thanks for sharing the examples. I already started thinking about how to integrate these into teacher training programs.

    Hocam I cannot believe the results of the study. It is really amazing. The babies are smarter that adults and knows statistics. The saying of lean mean machine to adult brain is interesting. Now I am looking for the study is about babies and statistics, I really wonder this one. Thanks for your sharing. And I found another video of Dr. Alison Gopnik about baby thinking as a scientists..:) http://www.ted.com/talks/alison_gopnik_what_do_babies_think.html

    This video made me question the role of education in children's life again.I think formal education is the biggest barrier for children who have natural abilities to learn. The education system is limiting children's potential and killing their imagination and curiostiy which make them excellent learners indeed. Do you think the school provides them proper opportunities to explore and to learn? I don't think students can learn in our "boring" classes where they are grouped on their ages rather than their abilities.

    Hey, everyone. This is an example of a graduate program in Neuroscience and Education. It is the first graduate program in the country to focus on the educational and clinical implications of recent advances in understanding brain-behavior relationships. To be able to bridge the gap between research underlying brain, cognition and behavior, and the problems encountered in schools and other applied settings is one of the goals.
