Blended Learning Through Design Based Research - 4 views

  •  
    The video provides a good presentation of design based research with an example. I think it gives insights for our online discussions and in-class activities. I hope you enjoy watching it.
  •  
    I liked the way they put schemas and give related examples. That made bigger and clearer picture of DBR in my mind, thanks:) It also higlights the importance and reasons of using DBR.
  •  
    Thank you for posting this video..Quite comprehensive..And a nice coincidence that Dr. Ömer Delialioğlu from CEIT is in reference list.

Design-Based Research: Putting a Stake in the Ground - 1 views

  •  
    The article underlines the emerging of design-based research by making connections with learning sciences. Differences between experimentation and design-based research are offered and terminologies that are similar to design-based research are dicussed with similarities and differences.

    I especially liked the table, comparion experimentation and design based research. It made me clear about some issues, thanks :)

    The video provides three websites that can be used for collaboration. They are really interesting websites. I hope you'll have a chance to look at them :-))

    They are all cool stuff, thanks:) Especially twiddla.com seems very practical for Math. I am so excited to explore it now :)

    I would like to share the music especially for the ones who are interested in practices for meditation or relaxation. This is the one which is used by one of the professors, Alev Yemenici, who does research and gives seminars on brain-based learning. While you are listening, please do not forget to close your eyes, sit back, take a deep breath and imagine how you feel when you remember one of the good moments you had before. Annnddd let this feeling spread over your body...

    Famous article by Nicolas Carr. What do you think?

    I am afraid I have already become a 'pancake person' :) because, I can access whatever I want with just a search button. I also feel like the author that something is changing in my brain in a negative way, becuase I do not have to force my brain anymore. Sometimes I realize that I have searched the same phone number over and over again then I really get mad at myself why I cannot just keep it in my mind, then again I realize that I do not have to as I have google with me everywhere I go:) And I think that is why computers seem smarter than us. Also, it is stated in the article that if we had all the world's information directly attached to our brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you'd be better off! I have lots of doubts about it. How something built by a human being can be smarter than a human being?

    I like these sentences from the text: "Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.". Because the way we read has changed with new strategies(scanning and scimming quickly) and a great deal of information. That's why we rather google it then reading hundreds of pages.(Or ctrl-f works pretty good in some cases:)) However, I do not think that we are getting more stupid. Our brain has been evolving with new technologies and habits and probably will keep doing that. So we are not so much eager to keep some information in our minds since we are sure that we can reach them anywhere anytime. For instance, children no longer memorize multiplying tables but it does not tell us that they can not solve multiplication problems.They have another instruments to save time and energy :)
  •  
    I agree with the ideas of Afra and Sinem. Sometimes I experience this while reading articles for my thesis and I have to write the key points for myself. However, I believe that we are not getting stupid, because we are now in technology era. We cannot abstain from appyling google for any information. It is really cost-effective in terms of time and money. I think that we will have to face with more new technologies in future, but this cannot mean that we will get more stupid. It is the requirement of our era we live in and we have to adapt ourselves.

    Worth to read: Ho do we develop gender stereotyped preferences.
  •  
    As far as I know, sexuality concept is constituted in young children between the ages 2-3. This is why during infancy normally they don't have tendency to choose colour pink or blue. But it is really interesting. Why pink and blue? Why not green or red? It seems that some cultural issues are ossified.

    It is always said among Mathematicians that 'we are born to count' but what if we lost left parietal lobe? On the other hand, why are some people more gifted than others?

The Sociability of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Environments - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    By the way, you can reach the article through Full Text icon. I couldn't share the direct link. :(

Lessons Learned From Adopting Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning in Oman - 2 views

  •  
    You can find examples for the adoption of CSCL and its benefits like enhanced course content knowledge, increased confidence in applying course knowledge and skills, stronger collaboration skills (arguing ideas, making decisions, providing solutions), greater ability to create instead of simply consume knowledge and added benefits of leadership and presentation skills

    The researchers conducted DBR to develop a CSCL-based course and investigate the students' reaction to this innovation at SQU in Muscat, Oman. It is a nice example of DBR and applying CSCL.
  •  
    The outcomes: enhanced course content knowledge, increased confidence in applying course knowledge and skills, stronger collaboration skills (arguing ideas, making decisions, providing solutions), greater ability to create instead of simply consume knowledge, and added benefits of leadership and presentation skills, can also be applicable to our case. I think our course equips us with similar skills and outcomes.

    Good example of DBR and CSCL.

Using CSCL methods in secondary mathematics - 0 views

    In this study, they compared CSCL based instructions and pen and paper methodologies in Mathematics education to enhance Student learning.

    This is a research on the effect of technology and collaborative style on learning. This is another discussion topic we wil cover in the classroom. This effect paradigm reveal many inconsistencies that make it difficult to draw generalizations.

Design-based research combined with CSCL - 1 views

  •  
    "This article describes how design-based research allowed the deliberate evolution of a set of tools and practices to help students collaborate effectively. The SpeakEasy, one of the earliest Web-based discussion boards, was evolved from prior discussion tools, adapted to an Internet-based science learning environment, and evolved to work with both online and offline classroom projects and practices"
