Actually, third week of science education lesson has special mean for me, because we have actualized our lab activities in our lab session. Before talking about my ideas and thoughts based on these activities, I want to mention some effects to science teaching discussed in theoretical lesson that had effects on me.
We focused on curiosity, emotions and feelings. As Kashdan& Fincham indicated that curiosity is an effect prompted by emotions and continues throughout life. (2002). I think this statement completely true and also I believe that curiosity is very significant element that one child have to get. Because, only if a child wonders something that goes around her life, he starts to research and explore. In this way, he begins to interested with science.
In addition, I learned the difference between the terms, feelings and emotions. Before this lesson, I have thought that feelings and emotions are conscious responses. We feels our emotions. This is very simple! However, after lesson, I have understood that feelings are the unconscious emotional responses which are coded in the brain. Moreover, feelings and emotions are the assistants of the learning. This kind of information is beneficial for me, because, now, I know that if I create positive environment in my classes, I will get high success.
Another important subject that we focused on; Multiple intelligences theory. I have heard that term approximately a year ago and I have read several articles about what is multiple intelligences theory and discussions on it. I claim that,
intelligences can be improved,indeed. I found Gardner's
theory and his identification of intelligences according to some features effective. I believe that while there is a relationship between some of these levels, others are independent. I mean that if a child is not good at linguistic concept, he/she can not have high logical and mathematical concepts. On the other hand, I can create a hypothesis like that; if a child is not good at spatial patterns, it does not mean he is also not good at musical ability. I think this situation shows us, as a teacher candidate, we should analyze these levels carefully and in detail, then we determine each child's intensive ability and then we should create appropriate environment.
As I said before,at our lab time we did our activities. I performed several activities about how to teach senses to children and how to show children their unique. I think my activities are so amusing that I really had fun, but I sometimes found hard to behave like a teacher. Due to having no training period, I have no idea about how a child behave or ask what kind of questions. However, materializing experiments provide me a class environment and gave me opportunity to behave as a teacher. And at the end of lab time, I saw my sufficiency and made a decision about doing best for my second future lab activity. Finally, if you represent any idea, comment or question about these activities, I'd be glad to hear them. Thank you.
TANGIBLE: something that can be touched or felt
