METU EDS 544

Sharing this because we talked about the impact of Sputnik in the history of education research.

Here, there is a research article about Problem Based Learning.

In this link you can find brief information about the theories we reviewed so far, their comparison, weaknesses or strenghts, atomic theory as well as some brief knowledge about theorists. This may be useful for completing the table. :)))

It is a video about stimulus for teacher education especially in terms of preventing burnout

This is another explanatory video for technology integration with the aim of engaged, motivated students, interactive classrooms and better academic outcomes.

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

Hope this compilation of links may help you to find "student-friendly" versions of the books

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 :)

an real example from Korea

What I also find interesting is, somebody watching the video asked questions to the teacher in the video about working in Korea as a teacher. The power of social media!!

This is the website for Multiple Intelligence Institute. It has information on the applications of MI and the models developed. Also current information on the MI theory can be found.

I really liked the MI network part in the site. It is useful to see different ideas about curriculum for us as teachers :))

Now, I decided it may be very nice material for teaching geometric shapes.

Here you can check the instruction materials that are used in our education.

They just ignore the English language teachers :((((

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.. :)

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

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

For the first time I see that a scientific theory is tried to be challenged by a divine source rather than a scientific source. In my opinion, scientific debates should rely on scientific data and reasoning. Since divine sources describe an eternal truth, such sources make scientific debates and progress meaningless. In that sense, I think that this article's applicability and validity is open to discussion. Thank you Dinçer, it was one of the most interesting articles that I have run across so far.

This article was written by Merill. You can find extra information about this model which there is limited information on synthesis article.
