    Art is like a filter in our brain to mean the world we are in. By visiting art museums, watching more movies and put more emphasize on literature, i believe that we really can 'Design the world' with respect to critical thinking skills and social tolerance:)

    Couldn't agree more with you and this article you shared:) Being exposed to diversity of ideas and being challenged by differences, what a joy :) I also believe that it helps design the world,

    The chapter focuses on "Implementing Understanding By Design" based on Three Questions: How does Understanding by Design provide a framework and a language to help educators promote all students' understanding? How has Understanding by Design evolved since its initial publication? What are the major changes and trends associated with its evolution? To what extent can educators abstract lessons learned about successful implementation of Understanding by Design and then apply those lessons to the process of strategic planning and continuous improvement?

    I think that sharing our motivations of pursuing masters or PhD would be interesting. The attached video is a fun video of getting a Phd in humanities.

    I will start first :) The best motivation why I want to hold a Phd is I like learning. So, I think that the more I learn, the more I will teach others.
  • canannn on 18 Nov 13
     
    but mine sounds same as yours :) learning more and more in the fields I enjoy and meeting different people and discovering their repertoire and stories are my main motivations.

    I agree, one must be really really really motivated take such a daunting task. This is hard work, a journey with ups and downs, yet always rewarding during and at the end of the process. My main motivation for doing a PhD was discovering my own "self" and simply "the world". The more I try to uncover some unknowns about the world the more I give meaning to my existence.

    When I had my undergrduate degree I was planning to work all my life long but I realized that spending a year without learning in an academic environment was a disaster. I come from another city and travel on buses just to learn and make my life, job and environment understandable and meaningful. I am doing this as I can inspire, inform, help teachers and my students with what I gain through PhD as it helps me broaden my vision.

    I think we all, Phd sts, are crazy people :-)) We have such intrinsic motivation that we can spend hours and hours on reading, writing, searching etc. People around me are always asking me how I can handle all these stuff and I sometimes ask myself the same question...And the only answer I come up with is that we all have the feeling of hunger for knowledge and nothing feeds it.
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 20 Nov 13
     
    I agree with Şermin that we are really crazy though I am not in PhD level. People around me keep saying that "Are you mad? Why are you doing this?" It depends according to situations but I believe that (as you do) this is a voluntary work. We want to learn something, explore different disciplines and so on. It is a bit a part of self-actualization, I think.

    While I was working at a primary school, one of my students asked me:" Öğretmenim, neden hala okuyorsunuz? Tatile falan gitseniz daha iyi bence:)" I had two day off for graduate courses, that's why he thought I would go on a holiday:) (Or maybe I looked tired:) People who do not know me very well question my motivation for being a Phd student. But, those who know me well think that I should engage in academic studies. Interestingly, whenever I feel demotivated, they try to motivate me:) I love searching, learning new things and sharing them with people around me. Şermin is right: it is the hunger for knowledge and it is the most effective motive for graduate students:)

    My motive for doing Master is to feel competent in my expertise field .But the main thing underlying is like everybody else is to learn and look for the best.I have always wondered `What is the best practice in teaching?` `How can I improve my skills both personally and professionally? Quest for the answers are keeping me motivated.

    I am sharing this video of kid games which are almost forgotten. Remember that as a kid, we used to keep flowed in physical space as well. It seems that for being flowed, computers or online tools are not the basic sources.
  • sermin vardal ocakli on 20 Nov 13
     
    I agree..there was fun, cooperation, challege..we were all flowed..too focused to think of time...I'm not sure whether we were cognitively engaged :-), but we had total motivation to do the same things again and again...

    My father has been playing bridge online. He is one of the late adopters to technology, yet, he plays bridge for hours and hours without realising what is happening around himself. He has played bridge online for 6000 hours since 2007. I just asked him "why are you playing", he said, "because I have fun" and "because it is challenging" and "I get points". Well, he just covered the flow theory and games :)

    * Mix and match the components of Flow; * Keep the user's experience within the user's Flow Zone; * Offer adaptive choices, allowing different users to enjoy the Flow in their own way; and * Embed choices inside the core activities to ensure the Flow is never interrupted.

    This is a study conducted in Turkey for adapting a scale on Cognitive Absorption. As I understand it is a concept that takes into account absorption, cognitive engagement and flow as a framework. I wonder what other concepts might there be, that takes flow theory as a base, can be good to highlight.

    I agree with Defne..Thank you Burcu for sharing..I always like this type of charts & tables summarizing the things..And I have felt closer to Harter's Effentance Motivation by the way.
