The Chorus (2004) - FILM - 0 views

  •  
    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)

Noam Chomsky - The Purpose of Education - YouTube - 4 views

shared by Evrim Baran on 10 Oct 12 - No Cached

    "impact of technology" part made me think that using technology in education is not valuable without how to use it. The project FATİH is generally taken a big step of using technology in state schools. "What is the cost?" "Are they necessary?" "Will our teachers use it?" are most asked questions. However, "How to use it?" is rare. Here with the word "use" I don't refer to running the devices. I mean the way technology be used in accordance to the educational objectives. As Chomsky says, without knowing what to do, using educational technology effectively is difficult.
  •  
    There were several points that got my attention in this video. The first one was Chomsky's sentence saying that education had a value in itself. The purpose of it was to create "better" human beings, not bigger human capital for money. At this point, he opposed to idea that all generations should be given enough knowledge about math and science in order to increase people with scientific knowledge that will lead to more money income. Rather, education should foster the ideas of being independent in thoughts, being creative, having the ability and willingness to pursue one's own interest, and learning to learn on one's own. The second one was the analogy that Chomsky used. He made an analogy between technology and a hammer. He said that with a hammer you can either construct a building or smash a school down. This is about how you use the hammer, and it is the same with technology. Thus, it is more important that for what purpose we will use the technology than simply how to use technology. The last one was about achievement tests. Chomsky said that tests do not have so much value. You can pass a test after studying hard for about 3 weeks. Nevertheless, it does not mean that you will remember even the names of the topics that was covered in the exam after 3 weeks of the exam. That's why exploration, self learning, project-based learning and formative assessment is much more important and promising compared to achievement tests.

Piaget on Piaget, Part 1 - YouTube - 1 views

    I did such an experiment to my 2,5 year old cousin. I asked for his mother to bring 2 tea glasses with full of water and 2 water glasses one of which was wide and short and one of which was narrow and tall. Next, I asked my cousin if the water amount is the same in both tea glasses. She said "Yes". Then I said "now watch carefully" and slowly poured one of the tea glasses into the wide&short glass and poured the other one into the narrow&tall one. In narrow&tall glass, the level of water seems above from the wide&short one despite the fact that the amount of water is the same in both glasses. Then I asked if water amount of the glasses is the same. And she answered "No, there is much more water in the narrow&tall water (She was pointing to level of water in narrow&tall glass with her finger while telling it)" Then I asked for 6 biscuits from her mother and separated them into 2 groups each of which contain 3 biscuits. Then asked if they are the same and she said "Yes". After that, I took one of the group which contains 3 biscuits and divided each biscuits so that numerically they looks like there are 6 biscuits with half length. Now I had 2 groups one of which had 3 standard biscuits and the other one contained 6 biscuits pieces with half length of standard biscuits. Afterwards I asked her again if the amount of the biscuits are the same in each group and she says "No". When I ask "why" she said, " This one is much because it has more biscuits(by pointing out the group containing 6 biscuits pieces)" It was nice to see such an experiment. It means that children at a specific developmental stage process their observations in line with their own perceptions, not the ones adults have and as such it supports the idea that children build their own knowledge by making interpretations on what they see, on what they interact with the world.

    President of Institute of Humane Education give a talk. Web page of the institute: http://www.humaneeducation.org/ From their web site: Humane education includes 4 elements: Providing accurate information (so we have the knowledge to face challenges); Fostering the 3C's: curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking (so we have the tools to meet challenges); Instilling the 3R's: reverence, respect, and responsibility (so we have the motivation to confront challenges); Offering positive choices and tools for problem solving (so we will be able to solve challenges).

    Each presentation challenges the audience to think differently about an issue of local, national or global significance. Big FAT Ideas encourage audiences to engage with issues and concepts they haven't explored before, or perhaps see familiar issues from a different point of view.

Constructivist Social Studies Lesson Grades 4/5 - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Don McMillan: Life After Death by PowerPoint - 5 views

    A video that I laughed at and agreed at the same time. Don McMilan tells "not to do"s while preparing power point slides with his sense of humour.

    Erdem, I watched this before, a clear demonstration of why people die in ppt presentations :) I am planning to implement different formats second semester in my class like Pethca Kutcha or Ignite. Will see if that will help to keep the presentations engaging.
  •  
    I also liked the attitude of the man. He is an effective presenter for presentation mistakes :)

    Positive psychology should immediately take place in education. Without concentratig on anxiety, fear of a subject matter we as teachers should focus on enjoyment, fun related to the learning. A theory says that mind can not engage two of the issues at the same time; positive and negative issues. Negative issues are mostly make you prevent from going further with that subject matter, however positive issues do the opposite.
  •  
    Sinem, I agree with you, I think that's why game-based learning, problem-based learning, anchored instruction that has elements of problem-based learning has started to gain importance in education. I did not understand the sentence "A theory says that mind can not engage two of the issues at the same time; positive and negative issues." Can you explain it please,

Whole brain teaching - 3 views

  •  
    when ı watch this video, I realised that in little age we can create learning enviroment without losing motivation and active participation. You can find also kindergarten or higher level version of this video on youtube. Behaviorism signs can be seen in it. Because repetition of whole sentences is the learning way for this classroom. Thıs seems to be effective but another issue is the permanence of knowledge. I hope it is permanent that it seems very enjoyful class.
  •  
    I also appreciate the class environment used in the video. Gestures, repetitions, practice on their own in pairs, materials were collaboratively used, which is very nice and especially very beneficiary for the 1. grade.
