Reflection / Assure Model



    The schools I was educated had a basic principle depending on memorization from the perspective of teaching. I do not remember any psychological approach that may trigger learning or teaching process. Teaching process generally was being performed by a teacher who was not keen on what she was doing. Here is the picture, a teacher comes to class and starts with greetings, right after that she checks her students’ homework and starts lecturing. At the end of the lesson, if there is a question, it is answered by the teacher and she assigns our homework then leaves. That is all. I know it looks odd, but it is what it is. Unfortunately, most of the state schools in Turkey are stuck in this dilemma. As prospective teachers at METU, we can change it, can’t we? Assure model? There was no such things in my school.
