(x+y+z=?): What is the result and How to do evaluation???






Today was a different day for me. You may ask why. Actually, it is because I had an exam. Yes, I already did my study product in Pedagogy and today I had oral exam. Except from Peter, there was another teacher. They asked some questions and I talked ralated to my study product. Before I entered in the room, I was a bit excited which is really normal to emerge, but I was able to control my excitement and I tried to answer what was asked to me. Actually, it was a really good environment in that you don`t get nervous really much. In my country, I can say that we had presentations in pertinent to our products. We explain all the topic in our work and teacher doesn`t explain our mark immediately after the presentation. It is declared after the term finishes in the site which helps us as students to see our notes. However, I really would like to say that after I talked, Peter and the other teacher gave feedback, which is actually really useful in that I became aware of what points were done related to my work and how I would improve myself. In addition to this, I found evaluation in Denmark really great in that we again discussed something and behaved critically in contrast to Turkey. In oral exams of Turkey, we have presentations, but discussion point is a bit missing. The point I like here is that teachers and student discuss and also add new points. I wasn`t just talking in front of blackboard by talking about topic. I was discussing the topic with teachers, which is quite important for me in that I can also think critically. Creating individuals who think critically is a part of Turkish curriculum and I am happy to see my improvement in this dimension.Yes, I hope I can really be a good teacher in every aspects and skills, and also help my students to comprehend the idea of thinking creatively and critically for being successful instead of just memorizing and telling what is written.
