Teaching Ideas

In 1998, the keynote speaker for the Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference was Gail Burrill. I had read many of her articles and even used some of the materials in her books, but that occasion was the first time that I had heard her speak. During the talk, she described an elementary school classroom that was working on data collection and analysis. The teacher had not provided a template or worksheet for the students to use to collect the data, so they had to come up with their own formats. The teacher acted as a coach, walking around the room as the children counted pumpkins, leaves, and other objects and making suggestions, such as “How do you know which objects your tally marks represent?” The students had to decide how they should represent the objects and then how to present the data in a usable format. Burrill's point was that we sometimes give students too much structure and not enough real-world experience. In a work environment, no one hands employees a set of instructions with a worksheet to collect data and questions to assist in interpreting those data. Workers must design their own experiment as part of the process.

Data collection techniques used observation and questionnaires with a Likert scale as data collection instruments. The results showed that  Work environment (X1) has no significant negative effect on teacher performance, work motivation (X2) has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, and work discipline (X3) has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. Simultaneously the work environment, work motivation, and work discipline have a significant influence on teacher performance with a contribution of R2 of 57.1% while the remaining 42.9% is explained by other causes outside the model.

There is another word like “sesantrian” which means “students play lais mimic, or debus, ubrug rudat using the magical”. This Sintren was first created when the habits of the mothers and their children in the time of waiting for their husbands/fathers to come home from fishing in the sea. Instead of sleeping in the afternoon, it was better for them- the fishermen who just stayed in the house, to initiate this Sintren game. (2) The purpose of this Sintren art show at the first time was just as a habit of some women and their children who were waiting for their husbands/fathers to come home from fishing in the sea, to then, developed into a sacred game including the ceremonies for asking rain during the long drought, and served as a means of entertainment (3) Sintren art stages include (a) preparation phase: including gamelan and clothing design, and (b) staging (Sintren, Bodor and Sinden/ Singer).

Realism Debate

When the Turkish army seized power on May 27th, 1960, a new democratic constitution was carried into effect. The positive atmosphere created by the 1961 constitution quickly showed its effects on political balances in the parliament and it became difficult for one single party to come into power, which strengthened the multi-party-system. The freedom initiative created by 1961’s constitution had a direct effect on the rise of public opposition. Filmmakers, who generally steered clear from the discussion of social problems and conflicts until 1960, started to produce movies questioning conflicts in political, social and cultural life for the first time and discussions about the “Social Realism” movement in the ensuing films arose in cinematic circles in Turkey. At the same time, the “regional managers” emerged, and movies in line with demands of this system started to be produced. The Hope (Umut), produced by Yılmaz Güney in 1970, rang in a new era in Turkish cinema, because it differed from other movies previously made in its cinematic language, expression, and use of actors and settings. The aim of this study is to mention the reality discussions in Turkish cinema and outline the political facts which initiated this expression leading up to the film Umut (The Hope, directed by Yılmaz Güney), which has been accepted as the most distinctive social realist movie in Turkey.
