Yeni bir haber mi bilmiyorum, ama bu sitede bugün paylaşılmış.

Updated (7/19/2013, 12:13 a.m.) with additional material on the trial courses and analysis of the news.] After two semesters of experimentation, San Jose State University has decided to take a "breather" in a project aimed at determining whether Udacity, a Silicon Valley-based company that specializes in massive open online courses, can help the university deliver credit-bearing online courses. **ALSO read the comments section.**

Bugün Cermodern sohbetimizde konusu geçen model.

"Pehlivanoğlu, bir yıl içerisinde kampüs inşaatının İncek'te başlayacağını söyledi."

Will be appreciated. Thanks :)

Recently I came across with this paper. According to authors Learning Science has at least 4 dimensions: Education, Neuroscience, Psychology and Machine Learning. By the way, just a fresh news: Next semester we may have a "Learning Science" course offered by Evrim Hoca ;)

"We are reinventing education," declares Agarwal. "This will change the world."

Massive Open Online Courses might seem like best way to use the Internet to open up education, but you're thinking too small. Technology can turn our entire lives into learning experiences.

Analysis about PISA.

This article describes instructional theory that supports post-industrial education and training systems - ones that are customized and learner-centered, in which student progress is based on learning rather than time. The article describes universal methods of instruction, situational methods, core ideas of the post-industrial paradigm of instruction, the importance of and problems with task-based instruction, a vision of an instructional theory for post-industrial education and training, and the roles that may be played by the teacher, the learner, and technology in the new paradigm. Keywords: Instructional theory, post-industrial paradigm, task-basd instruction

I saw the news on Kursat Hoca's FB profile. It is published in Magazine about Distance Education (Revista de Educación a Distancia). I like the idea of learning without time constraints. I don't know why :)

"a small library of nine valuable books that will help Ph.D. students do serious work-as well as helping supervisors do a solid job in supervising… These books can help to teach and develop good research habits, habits of mind and habits of behavior."

I'll be the first one to join that workshop :)

"if students can receive similar or better outcomes by taking courses online for free, why step foot into a classroom at all?"

Why we need good teachers? Why "EDS-536 Research and Practice on Technology in Teacher Education" course is important? From the site: "Good teachers are essential and need respect: There is no substitute for good teachers. The impact of good teachers extends beyond positive educational outcomes and can be linked to positive societal factors, such as lower levels of teenage pregnancy and a greater tendency to save for retirement. Creating the best teachers is about more than paying a good salary. The best performing countries attract top talent, train teachers throughout their careers and allow them freedom too."

This was Evrim Hoca's advice for us in our last face-to-face course. Have fun! "The resulting 'theory-practice gap' means that-I would argue-educational theory has been largely ineffectual in improving educational practice. Major 'reform' movements are frequently grounded in ideology rather than in educational research, at least partly because research is not seen as influential on practice."

This is an international study like PISA. Turkey is still under the average among appr. 50 countries.

This is not directly related with education, but I find it helpful for internet searches. Imagine that you find an article link, that is very precious for you but when you click it, it says "this page does not exist anymore" or something else that tell you there is no access. Then, you copy paste the link to this web site and if you are lucky you see the old page, full functional. This is useful especially when you look for old web resources. Good luck :)

You will find all authors and their related work that criticizes MI theory. One notable and recent critique that Turkish academicians made: DECIPHERING THE THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES: AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE http://www.ijbssnet.com/journals/Vol._2_No._11_[Special_Issue-June_2011]/32.pdf

After reading the article from Turkish authors I felt the need to look their affiliation. An it was not Faculty of "İlahiyat" but it was seriously Faculty of Education.

Agreed! But I posted this for us to see and be aware of some people in Turkish Education. Thanks for your time and comment.

Teaching is not always lectures, papers or even presentations. A good example just after our constructivist session.

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.

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)
