Bu kitap; öğretmen adaylarının, öğretmenlerin ve eğitim uzmanlarının ülkemizde ve dünyada eğitim alanında ortaya çıkan güncel konuları ve yeni yaklaşımları takip edebilmeleri için onlara önemli bir kaynak özelliği taşımaktadır.
Doğayı anlama ve bilinmeyeni keşfetme arayışı içerisinde olan insana bu süreçte en çok ışık tutan şüphesiz bilimsel yöntem olmuştur. Bilimsel yöntem tarih boyunca farklı safhalardan geçmiş; bilim insanlarının üzerinde uzlaştığı bir bilimsel araştırma sürecinin netleşmesi çok uzun yıllar almıştır. Bu süreçte bilim farklı felsefelerden etkilenmiş ve farklı yaklaşımlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Fen ve sosyal bilimlerin pozitivist bakış açısı ortak olmakla beraber sosyal bilimlerde post-pozitivist, sosyal yapılandırmacı ve pragmatist bakış açıları da bilimsel bir yaklaşım olarak kabul görmektedir. Sosyal bilimler çatısı altında yer ala...
Innovative Approaches in Science Education
The present book explores how modern board gaming and language teaching can be beneficially combined to achieve optimal impact. Modern board games have a lot to offer language learners and teachers, and they should play a much more significant role in what has been labelled "Content and Language Integrated Learning" or CLIL. Modern board games require cooperation, problem-solving, active discovery, interpretation and analysis. Most importantly, modern board games allow students to explore a hypothetical environment without the risk of language errors. The key ingredient of the present book is "game-based learning and teaching theory", or GBLTT, a theoretical framework which measures learning outcomes based on gaming and learning procedures. GBLTT is focused on balancing information and gameplay as well as putting a focus on the ability of each learner to retain language competence and to put their subject to realistic situations.
Using US schools as a reference point, this book provides a description of schooling as a global institution. The authors draw on a four-year investigation conducted in 47 countries that examined many aspects of K-12 schooling. They discuss how world trends and the forces behind them will work to shape the directions education may take.
American high schools have never been under more pressure to reform: student populations are more diverse than ever, resources are limited, and teachers are expected to teach to high standards for all students. While many reformers look for change at the state or district level, the authors here argue that the most local contexts—schools, departments, and communities—matter the most to how well teachers perform in the classroom and how satisfied they are professionally. Their findings—based on one of the most extensive research projects ever done on secondary teaching—show that departmental cultures play a crucial role in classroom settings and expectations. In the same school, for example, social studies teachers described their students as "apathetic and unwilling to work," while English teachers described the same students as "bright, interesting, and energetic." With wide-ranging implications for educational practice and policy, this unprecedented look into teacher communities is essential reading for educators, administrators, and all those concerned with U. S. High Schools.
This book explores the theoretical foundations of gamification in learning and education. It has become increasingly difficult to engage and motivate students. Gamification not only makes learning interesting, but also allows game players to solve problems and learn lessons through repeated attempts and failures. This "positive failure" can motivate students to attempt a difficult mission. Chapters in this volume cover topics such as the definition and characteristics of gamification, gamification in learning and education, theories, research on gamification, framework, strategy, and cases.
Provides information for school administrators and curriculum specialists on ways to align the curriculum to state standards to improve student achievement and teacher effectiveness.
This book draws on a range of informal letter corpora and outlines the historical sociolinguistic value of letter analysis.
