This is another film about education. In this Turkish film, a western teacher goes to an eastern (kurdish) village to teach 1,2,3,4,5th grades together. It will surely provoke you to think about education in Turkey as well as daily lives of eastern people.

I have watched this film and I was really influenced, Thank your giving it as an example for us.

I also watched the movie couple times. Very touching and forces us to think about the current situation that teachers face in Eastern part of Turkey. Thanks for sharing.

Being impressed thanks to Dinçer's video show, I found a compilation of movies related to "idealist teachers." Of all, I have had a chance to watch Hababam Sınıfı, İki dil bir bavul and Stand and Deliver. If you're looking for something inspiring, bet it is worth trying some maybe during semester break!

Thanks for share. I noted some of them to watch as soon as possible.

A movie that has so much fun. It provides some lessons to be learnt by educators as well. Recommended.

I watched this. Fun!

Some useful explanations and examples for humanistic environment in a school regarding curriculum, methods and facilities

Burcu, thank you for sharing. I must confess that I did not understand the difference between humanism and neo humanism:). They seemed almost the same to me. In the movie, children are running in the environment, observing the world, helping people, establishing love and trust with peers and etc. And their ages are small. I support the idea that small children should be made aware of their uniqueness. However, when they grow up, we will have to show them science, math, history and etc. The bulk of knowledge in the world and in our education might unable school to continue humanism in education. Actually, it means that especially for higher graders, we should use humanism as an element in classrooms, not a whole teaching strategy since as wee from the video, creating humanistic classroom is not feasible at all and may not be affordable for higher number of students. In the video they said that firstly they "choose" students. It means that, it is a private school. For private school, one can create almost % 100 percent humanistic environment. However, in public schools, teachers have to integrate humanistic elements into predetermined educational environments.

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)
