Educational Paradigm



I do not think that we can make changes in our current system of education. The first and main reason is about our governmental problems. But, I will not go into it. Other than that the students cannot see other solutions except studying hard and being able to accepted by a university. I think I would be able to do something as an individual teacher in any process of changing the current educational paradigm. I can show my students that there are other solutions they can look at. For example, instead of just studying exams they can get hobbies. In an appropriate environment, students can both study their lessons and be interested in their hobbies. I think it is an important thing for students to see ‘other world’. Our educational system is based on ‘study your lesson if you want to be successful’. But, there are other options that can be crucial for students’ lives.

  4. İrem, I strongly agree your ideas. Unfortunately, current education system doesn't allow teachers to reflect their own approaches to their teaching. Each student has to take same exam to prove their success and deserve a good university in our country, they have to memorize all information which are taught in the class. Also, if we consider the schools in Turkey, we can see that many schools even don't give 'standardized curriculum' to the students, so what is missing in current education system: education and system!
