Levelled Classes in TEV?TÖL For many years,students in TEV?TÖL have been separatedbecause of their levels. Have you ever thought that all the students are on thesame level? Is it possible? No, it isn’t.
We should have levelled classes inTEV?TÖL because students in TEV?TÖL come to the TEV?TÖL from different schools, they have differentabilities and every student have a different learning style. Students Come to the TEV?TÖLFrom Different SchoolsThe ministry of education of Turkey shared statistics for the2016-2017 education year. 14.684.664 students are being educated at stateschools and 1.204.963 students are being educated at private schools. It means%6.
25 of the students are being educated in private schools. If your parentshave enough money to send you to private school, you are luckier than theothers. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
But unfortunately, in Turkey,students in private schools have better foreign language education than the studentsin state schools. Also, they have better mathematics education. Thus, all thestudents are not on the same level because of their secondary schools. Governmentsmust pay more attention to state schools. However, Turkish Government attachesimportance to religious schools. That is why Turkish education system is notdeveloping. This shouldn’t make progress like that.
Because of that, if thestudents which came from private schools, and the students which came fromstate schools are in the same class, then there will be problems. Studentswhich came from private schools can’t improve their languages and studentswhich came from state schools can’t understand the lesson. Because of thatreason, we should have levelled classes in TEV?TÖL. If we want TEV?TÖL students well-educated. Students Have Different Abilities Students in the TEV?TÖL are special.
TEV?TÖL has a different election system than the otherschools. They want gifted and intelligent students for their school. Thus,everyone has different abilities and skills. Anyway, TEV?TÖL tries to improve their skills through its education system, clubs, activitiesand levelled classes. They are suchbeneficial for gifted children. Also in TEV?TÖL, there are over 80 activities and clubs. Suchas; mechatronics club, drama club, MUN club, basketball teams, volleyballteams, football activity, drums activity, writing a software activity, foreignlanguages (Spanish, Italian, Hungarian, Farsi, etc.), meditation activity,gastronomy activity, etc.
Theyare all helping students to improve their skills and abilities. Furthermore, everyone’sskills and talents are different. If we can separate the students which havesimilar abilities, then they will encourage themselves. Their skills will beimproved with levelled classes. Thereby, levelled classes will help students todevelop their skills. Students Have Different Learning Style People have different types of way of learning. Such as visual, aural,kinesthetic, active learning, reflective learning, etc. They have extremeimportance in learning.
However, everyone has not the same learning style.Someone can memorize something as visual. Another one can memorize something asaural and another one can memorize something as kinesthetic or someone can be anactive learner, another one can be a reflective learner.
Students in TEV?TÖL also have different learning styles like other people. All schoolsincluded TEV?TÖL should do a test to the students for findingtheir best learning style and they should separate students by their learningstyles. If the schools can separate the students which have the same way oflearning and educate them according to their learning styles, everything can bebetter. Students can understand the lessons easily, they can be well-educated,and they can be more beneficial for their countries. To prove that; in 2012, ascore of people decided to verify their hypothesis about “Effect of students’ learning styles onclassroom performance”.
They did anexperiment. First, they separate students according to their learning styles (active learner orreflective learner). Then, experimenters started to watch both classes.Finally, they saw that students became more successful than their old classes.This means separating students according to their learning style is useful,necessity.
CONCLUSIONRestatement of the Thesis: Students in TEV?TÖL must be separated from their knowledge andskills if we want students well-educated. Also, we must consider that everystudent comes from different schools. Finally, if we want well-educatedstudents, then we must have a qualified education system. If we want a qualifiededucation system, then we must have levelled classes.
