    This is a video about how we learn through synapses and the actions in our nerves based on an experiment conducted on mice. It also shows the memorization process and how we forget something.

    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.

    Sorry, I found this accidentally. Then now, I saw that this book is in our syllabus already. :)))

    Turkey has been undergoing education reforms because of the same reason" ..the current system was designed and conceived for a different age..." Do you think the reformed curricula meet the requirements of 21st century? I think wee need to reform the minds of people who are designing the curricula in this country...

    I certainly do not believe that the current system 4+4+4 meets the requirements of the 21st century. In Turkey, something is changed every year about the examination, curriculum, grading and so on. We do not have the opportunity to see the effects of the new system. Moreover, I agree with your ideas that before conducting a reform, the mentality should be changed first whether it is about the educational management, curriculum or other components. If this does not occur, the results will just be superficial and temporary.

    It is like imitating other countries and take their education systems for granted rathr than reforming. Whatever it is, the education systems not only in East but also in some parts of west are based on social efficiency theory and students are conceived as to-be-workers. Self-actualization and intellectual development are not even in the secondary place.
  • filizbezci on 08 Oct 13
     
    as it is mentioned in the video, our educattion system also kill the creativity of the students and cause them to behave like robots.I think we loose huge amont of potential to produce artistic, scientific and tecnological productions.

    I hope that you'll like the video because I really liked it. It can set a good example for the modifications of the instructional techniques and learning environment since it approaches performance from a different perspective.
  • canannn on 07 Oct 13
     
    First of all, I really enjoyed the way the video is presented, it was fun to watch. It provides inspiring ideas on autonomy, letting people have genuine, meaningful purposes and finally letting them feel valuable and creative. Thanks for sharing this.

    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.

    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.

    Dear Halil, The site cannot be accessed. It is better to give another link,I guess.

    Actually I have just checked it and it is working but if you still have problem to reach the book please try this link: http://www.martinshaven.com/Resources/Hofstadter%20-%20Godel-Escher-Bach.pdf

    Thank you for the new link. I guess it is due to the settings of my computer.

    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.

    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.
