Teaching Methods

Main methodology will be flipped learning. As in all MEF courses, teaching methods and strategies are selected to create a democratic learning community in which you will learn from one another, from inquiry, research and practice. Every member of the class is expected to freely share her/his knowledge, ideas and questions with the group without any concern. Throughout the course, experiential, constructivist, research-based and reflective teaching strategies are used. In all kinds of teaching and learning activities, student participation, active learning and learning by doing are essential. In this course, specifically, an adaptive learning style which will facilitate student learning through online materials, guidance and follow-up will be employed. The online learning platform of Mc Graw Hill will be used by both the instructor and the students.
