Maria is a nurse in a small hospital. She is in her early thirties and quite tall. She has long, dark hair that she usually wears in a ponytail when she is at work. Her face is round and she has big brown eyes. Her patients say she has a warm smile and kind hands, because she is always very gentle when she touches their arms or checks their temperature.

In winter, she loves her thick green sweater and a long scarf. She doesn’t like expensive dresses or high heels because she prefers to feel relaxed. Maria is friendly and patient.

Okulda Disiplin

Ortaokul Öğrencilerinde Olumlu Davranış Geliştirme ve Sınıf/Okul Disiplinini Sağlama: Bilimsel Temelli Yaklaşımlar Giriş Ortaokul dönemi, ergenliğe geçişin başladığı; kimlik gelişimi, akran ilişkileri ve otoriteyle çatışma gibi süreçlerin yoğunlaştığı kritik bir gelişim basamağıdır. Bu dönemde okul iklimi, öğretmen–öğrenci ilişkileri ve uygulanan disiplin anlayışı, öğrencilerin hem davranışsal hem de akademik gelişimi üzerinde belirleyici rol oynamaktadır (Eccles & Roeser, 2011). Sadece “cezaya dayalı” disiplin uygulamaları, kısa vadede uyum sağlayabilse de uzun vadede okuldan kopuş, saldırganlık ve kurallara karşı direnç gibi olumsuz sonuçları artırabilmektedir (Skiba & Peterson, 2000). Bu nedenle güncel araştırmalar, “önleyici, öğretici ve pozitif” yaklaşımları merkeze alan kapsamlı okul disiplin modellerini önermektedir. Bu makalede, ortaokul öğrencilerinde olumlu davranış geliştirmeye ve etkili sınıf/okul disiplini sağlamaya yönelik bilimsel temelli stratejiler özetlenecek;...

Öğretim İlkeleri

"Yetkin öğretmen ya da nitelikli öğretmen dersini işlerken, sınıfını yönetirken hangi ilkeleri gözetir? Nasıl etkili ve verimli öğrenme ortamı yaratır? Aşağıdaki makale bu konuyla ilgili. Yalnız bu kolay bir şey değil. Eğer takım arkadaşlarınız sizinle aynı değerleri paylaşmıyor ve derslerinde aynı ilkeleri uygulamıyorsa, öğrencilerinizden olumlu tepkiler alamıyorsunuz. Çünkü onlar sizin de diğer öğretmenler gibi davranmanızı bekliyorlar. Bu yüzden okul kültürü geliştirmek şart. Eğitim bir takım işi." Öğretmenler İçin Bilimsel Bulgulara Dayalı Öğretim İlkeleri   (Etkili ve Verimli Öğrenme Ortamı Nasıl Yaratılır?) Giriş    Öğrenme; sadece “bilgi aktarma” değil, beynin yapısal olarak değiştiği, dikkat, bellek, duygu, motivasyon ve sosyal etkileşimin birlikte çalıştığı karmaşık bir süreçtir. Bu nedenle sınıfta etkili öğretim, yalnızca “konuyu iyi anlatmak” değil; beynin ve zihnin nasıl çalıştığını dikkate alan bir öğrenme ortamı tasarlamayı gerektirir. Aşağıda, bir öğre...

Tulips

TULIPS🌷 Tulips are one of the most popular spring flowers in the world. They are known for their bright colors and simple, beautiful shape. A tulip has a long green stem and smooth leaves. At the top, there is one large flower that looks like a cup. Tulips can be red, yellow, pink, purple, white, or even a mix of colors. Tulips grow from bulbs, not from seeds. A bulb looks like an onion and stays under the ground during the winter. In autumn, gardeners plant tulip bulbs in the soil. During the cold months, the bulbs rest. When spring comes, the weather gets warmer and the days get longer. Then the tulip bulb starts to grow, and a green stem comes up through the ground. Tulips do not like very hot weather. They grow best in places with cool winters and mild springs. This is why they are so common in countries like the Netherlands. In fact, the Netherlands is famous for its tulip fields. In spring, you can see huge fields covered with tulips of many different colors. Tourists from all o...

Learning English

PERSONAL GROWTH AND LEARNING ENGLISH  If you believe that people can grow, then you must also believe that you can grow. Every new skill you’ve ever learned—walking, reading, using a phone—once felt confusing or even impossible. But you didn’t stop; you practiced, made mistakes, and got better. Learning English is exactly the same. English is not a talent you are born with. It’s a skill you build, step by step. Every new word, every sentence you try, every time you listen and don’t understand everything—these are not failures, they are training. Your “mistakes” are proof that you are learning something new. When you choose personal growth, you choose to be bigger than your fears: the fear of speaking, of having an accent, of not being perfect. You don’t need perfect English to express your ideas, your feelings, your story. You only need the courage to use the English you have today—and the commitment to make it a little better tomorrow. Remember: each page you read, each video you ...

Digital World and Us

Bu derste sosyal medya kullanma alışkanlığının gençlerin günlük yaşamlarına etkileri hakkında bir hikaye okuyacağız. Hikayenin sonunda sorulara yanıt vermeye çalışın. Digital World and Us  Zeynep used to reach for her phone first thing in the morning. Before she opened her eyes fully, she checked her notifications. She wanted to see who shared something and who liked which posts during the night. On the bus to school, during breaks, and even at the times when she should study, she always checked her social media accounts. It became a habit. One day, her teacher made an announcement in class: “Next week, you will prepare a presentation about ‘The Digital World and Us’. We will question the place of social media in our lives.” When Zeynep heard this topic, she felt excited but also a little uncomfortable. Recently, she had noticed that her grades were getting worse. In the evenings, she took her phone and said, “I will look only for ten minutes,” but usually she kept it in her hand f...
