    Science fields do not seem famous any more.

    This issue is a popular topic in physics education field. Studies show that boys are more successful in science courses especially in physics when compared to girls because they feel more confident and think that science is fun. Most probably, these personal beliefs are important determiners when deciding whether or not to attend a course.

    It is always the same; "girls cannot do science, it is a boy job". Last week, in an undergraduate course at METU, we investigated college students' drawings of scientists. Nearly all of them draw a man scientist, conducting laboratory experiments. Not only physics but also all natural sciences are accepted as a man dominated area, there is no room for women.

    The important point in this case is that only girls who study for A-level physics are the ones who came from Girls' schools. It means that as the text stated, mix schools have a kind of characteristic that stereotype the physics as if it was boys' area. However, in my opinion, that's not true. Unless a job does not require so much muscles, it can be handled by both males and females. In physics, the brain, intelligence, and the disciplined work is necessary which are highly available in human beings, not just only in males.

    I just liked this video :) You will see that technology is integrated into nearly all lessons like physics, physical education and even history.

    This is a website that contains simulations for the lessons physics, chemistry, biology and math. The simulations can either be downloaded or applied online, I think it requires Java. They are very fun and active to use with students I think.

Changes our curriculum again.. - 1 views

  •  
    First, there should be simple changes in the classroom. Then more complex ones will be taken into consideration. What I mean is that for example most of the studies are nearly screaming that main problems of the education system, lack of teachers, lack of space which is suitable for learning, lack of classrooms. I can not say anything about their intent of refreshing the education system, but can't understand the ignorance of such physical problems. Maslow pyramid..

    The system has not recognized that the curricula is not a seat that we can change constantly. They are also not aware that it is not easy to implement it with a sudden change.

Interaction between the teacher and students - 3 views

  •  
    The interaction between the student and the teacher should be manipulated according to the content of the lesson, objectives, materials and instruments as shown in the video. Making the class more engaging requires effective conversation and good communication between the teacher and student.

    Great video for classroom management lessons. :)

    This is a good way forcreating active learning enviroment. Also it includes more alternatives like individual or group working. But it seems good for small class size.
