This is one of Dembo's book about motivation and learning strategies for college success. I wish I found the book earlier in the beginning of my undergraduate degree :). Nonetheless, I think it can be still useful for future academic career.

Thanks for your sharing. I will print this as soon as possible.

Dear friends, I strongly recommend you to watch this film. It is about a school (like hababam sınıfı). You will see different approaches against students. Examples of radical behaviorism and in part constructivism can be found. It will be enjoying to watch and contrast these two approaches. Besides educational aspects, this film is so touching. Please, prepare your handkerchiefs :) Original language: French Subtitle: English Link to watch: http://filenuke.com/ulgl9j1ux08p (click to "free" option)

Dinçer, I will watch it this week!

This is our comparison table by Dinçer, Hatice, Sinem, Burcu, Defne :)

Defne, It is better to address them in the table. Perhaps, you can add couple points there.

Evrim Hocam, I addressed to the specific approaches in the table as you wished:)

Here is an interesting video for the essence of humanistic approach with a small introduction of a book "First the Child, Then Curriculum" by Donna Allender, a humanist teacher.

I was gonna share the same video but I doubted reposting it. Here you are :) "Today, I don't wanna learn RED, I wanna learn YELLOW" maybe explains little bit about humanistic learning :)

An helpful site which includes all strategies about implications of humanism in classroom.

Funny idea about how to show the main principles of Humanistic Education. The Good will always wins :)

Students work in pairs to research and present findings. This video shows interviews with students engaged in the learning process. Notice the high level of involvement and enthusiasm.

The video displays an activity that students are reinforced to produce in terms of constructivist approach. I know the teacher and his ways of integration of the methods. He is mostly effective in such cases, and does not lose the control in any circumstance. In the video, there seems a compexity among students in terms of noise and crowd. However, it was one of the disadvantages of taking the whole class to video. They should present what they have done so far. One of the best thing in the video is peer evaluation that we frequently use.

As we mentioned about the foundations of theories, I have read an article about behaviorism and I want to share with you. This article is especially for Bilge.:)

:((( I couldn't open it

Dear Canan, I uploaded pdf format on moddle under the title of reading reflection part of Behaviorism week. You can dowload from there. Have a good reading.. :)

Ok, I have been trying to explain how I approach teaching in higher education. This explains it clearly. Indeed, I do have very high expectations from my students and I believe high expectations bring greater achievement.

You are invited to the conference held in TEDU next Thursday (11.04.2013). I will be happy if you inform me before coming so that I can meet you at the very beginning. http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/ekonomi/22593138.asp

Sinem, I wasn't able to attend to this conference but I am curious to hear about your insights. Anything interesting?

I wanted to see all group members in this conference. It was a second episode of our visit for " Seven Schools in Finland" exhibition in Cermodern. There was a model school design with its learning hubs conducted by Canon design and Koç University. It is very unique in Turkey will be finished in 2014. All the learning environments were designed according to the students' learning. Most of the learning hubs, not classrooms, are not square or rectangle they are curvic. Outside of the school were built with the glasses in order to take advantage of the sunlight properly. School is in the area of 7000 m2 in Beykoz, İstanbul. Teachers who will be work in the school have been trained within the framework of nature of the model school, student-centered approach. As you remembered, in Cermodern I could not find the answer to the learning environment of Finland schools. This conference let me go one step further to imagine what constructivist learning environment is. The emphasis on importance of "Educational Architecture" is another issue I was enlightened. Maybe, we can attend the openning of the Model School. Thank you for your concern.

Hi my group, This is our group table, I tried to complete it and wrote something on it and we should complete until this Monday(31th december). See you

Hocam, I tried to complete the table as you know there can be some defficiencies. So I beg your pardon. Thanks for your effort during the semester for us.. For me, this course is the unique one during my grad life and the most enjoyfull. Thanks for everthing.

Thanks Hatice. The table looks good now.

Good for concrete understanding of Piaget's approach

This blog belongs to one of my frineds doing his M.A. degree on Curriculum and Instruction in Istanbul University. The critique totally belongs to him. 

What do you think about this approach for college instruction? Can we apply it for young learners?

It seems from this video that computer-aided instruction is effective than teachers. One's cannot passing to the next unit unless succeeding the previous one seems to guarantee a student's comprehending a topic. Giving feedback after each unit is a serious issue for a learner.
