    some more ideas on Situated Learning Theory for us:)
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 03 Nov 13
     
    The goal is to improve learning by motivating students and by providing a rich context for learning. It emphasizes the context and application of knowledge rather than memorizing facts (Heeter, 2005). This quotation is crucial for me because in Turkey, the education is based on memorization simply. The knowledge is "high on the clouds". We need to make it more usable and applicable.

    A brief information on situated learning and Jean Lave : )
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 03 Nov 13
     
    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.

    The first robot teacher was tested in Tokyo in 2009 to sixth and seventh graders. The robot teacher can express six basic emotions - happiness, surprise, fear, disgust, sadness and anger. As I know a French company has developed a robot teacher, too.

    Interesting video. We all know what they say ' boynuz kulağı geçermiş '. I think she would be the best teacher that children ever had :)

    I did not like the idea of having a robot teacher. What about interaction between students and teachers? Why would I need to have a robot teacher rather than a human one? It is like being in front of a computer telling you the knowledge and inform you of your mistakes.
  • Sinem Hizli Alkan on 31 Oct 13
     
    For sure, robot 'teacher' would not teach effectively and in a favourable way. However, as it is mentioned, it can show how impressive and creative technology would integrate to the classes and learning environments. This is the way students may 'touch' the technology.
  • Yelda Sarıkaya-Erdem on 31 Oct 13
     
    To admit, yes it is an impressive way. However, I got stuck when it was said that robots could replace teachers in case of teacher shortage. It can be used as a tool for teaching-learning but it can not be treated as a teacher in real terms.
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 03 Nov 13
     
    I think this is too much technological, where is the interaction? I totally agree with Yelda and Sinem in that a robot teacher cannot provide the effective class environment and fulfill teaching. The communication is really important in learning process, with a robot teacher this is impossible.

    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.
  • Sinem Hizli Alkan on 31 Oct 13
     
    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:)
  • Aysegul Solar on 01 Nov 13
     
    I wish he were not a scientist but eventually he is especially in the kitchen he can create different tastes he prepares coctails for himself and drinks it and tries new forms of chemical experiements and reaches different tastes it goes on like this :)
  • 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.

    What is the place of 'talent' in the topic of expertise ? Even The making of an expert says that in addition to talent of Mozart he has a father,skilled composer, facilitating him which makes Mozart: Mozart. Then the question comes, innate talent does really need an 10000 hours to become an expert or can ordinary people be an expert with 20 hours!

    The tedtalk related to how to learn things especially practical things is very enjoyful. In this video it is emphasized that everyone can learn whatever they want in twenty hours. But there are some requirements for this type of learning that are: deconstruct your skill, learn enough to self-correct or self-edit, remove practise barries, and prastice at least 20 hours. the only barrier to have any skill is only emotional.

    This is an absolutely amazing and inspiring video. After watching video, I strongly believed that barriers we have to overcome have emotional bases instead intellectual ones. Maybe if I follow 4 steps properly and focus on ı can even play guitar. In fact, it seems to me devotion and removing practise barriers are the keys to success and manageable, then why not give a try.
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 27 Oct 13
     
    I liked the song in the video very much and the graphics showing the relationship between the time and skill or how we are good and the practice. However, I am not sure that 20 hour is applicable to everything to be learned. In the four steps, we can relate self-correction part to self-coaching as mentioned in the readings.
  • Pınar Mercan Küçükakın on 27 Oct 13
     
    The four steps mentioned in the video have really good implications for the learners. Self correction and removing the barriers are especially important to learn anything new. However,I agree with Burcu, 20 hours of practice is not enough to acquire some kind of skills. Can anybody learn a foreign language in 20 hours? Kaufman reminded the fact that early stage of skill improvement is very fast but being an expert takes long time and effort. It is a very common phenomenon we come across in language classes. After students become intermediate or upper intermediate, they have difficulties to improve in English to be advanced learners. Expertise requires patience, motivation and continuous hard work. Students need to be patient and practice more but under the stress of proficiency exam they feel hopeless. Maybe, teachers should inform them about the stages of skill acquisition so that learners will know that what they experience is just a part of the skill acquisition process.
  • ibrahim tanrikulu on 29 Oct 13
     
    2o hours to learn something sounds interesting. But, I don't think 20 hours would be enough to learn some practical things. Learning English can be a good example of that. Despite the many ads claiming to teach English in a short time, I have not come across any method to teach English in a short time.
  • Defne Kara on 30 Oct 13
     
    It was really fun to watch.What drew my attention was the quote `The major barrier to skill acquisition isn`t intellectual...it`s emotional yet the quote reminded me of another quoate :)from the readings of this week `the journey to truly superior performance is neither for the faint of heart nor for the impatient.`Although both shares the view that once should be open, courageous,eager to learn, they differ in the sense that genuine expertise comes with struggle, sacrifice and there aren`t shortcuts as in learning how to play the guitar with `four chords`.Instead, one has to invest time wisely for a bit of a period of time to apply it as an expert.Take for example,art lessons.One cannot learn and paint in 20hrs if he/she is not very talented.

    A couple of yeras ago, Turkish Ministry of Education declared that some teachers wold be appointed as "experts". At the very beginning, some teachers got the title of "experts"; however, the ministry gave up the idea after a very short time. This can be a topic to be discussed at our class this week. Some of the questions that can be raised: * What is an expert teacher? * Do we need experts at our school? * How should the teachers get the title of "expert", by an exam or by working time? I added a Turkish forum where people discussed the expert teachers at schools.

    10 thousand hour rule seems to be a symbol for learners. I think that the time spent on something to be an expert depends on many variables such as the learner and the learning stuff.
  • anonymous on 29 Oct 13
     
    I think Ericcson's purpose was not to understand this number as a serious criterion. The point is that it is a hard work to become an expert.
  • afranur on 29 Oct 13
     
    I guite agree with Christian. When I first read the ten thousand hour rule, I felt that this is a hypothetical number that was just used for to emphasize that we need endless effort, hard practice to become good at any field.
  • canannn on 30 Oct 13
     
    As mentioned, the role of talent are still questionable. Also guaranteeing the same amount of hours as a general rule gives me the message of ignoring unique personal factors such as motivation or other internal personal sources.
