Adapting an apprenticeship model to the needs of English-medium education at the tertiary level in Turkey

Despite the difficulties that we have regarding the use of English in tertiary education in Turkey, we argue that it is necessary for those involved to study in the medium of English. Furthermore, significant advances have been made on this front. These efforts have been for the most part language-oriented, but also include research into needs analysis and the pedagogy of team-teaching. Considering the current situation at this level of education, however, there still seems to be more to do. And the question is, what more can we do? What further contribution can we make? Or, how can we take this process further? The purpose of the study reported here is to respond to this last question. We test the proposition that it is possible to take this process further by investigating the efficient management of transition from Turkish-medium to English-medium at the tertiary level of education in Turkey. Beyond what is achieved by only the language orientation of the EAP approach, and moving conceptually deeper than what has been achieved by the team-teaching approach, the research undertaken for the purpose of this study focuses on the idea of the discourse community that people want to belong to. It then pursues an adaptation of the essentially psycho-social approach of apprenticeship, as people become aspirants and apprentices to that discourse community. In this thesis, the researcher recognises that she cannot follow all the way through to the full implementation of her ideas in a fully-taught course. She is not in a position to change the education system. What she does here is to introduce a concept and sample its effects in terms of motivation, and thereby of integration and of success, for individuals and groups of learners. Evaluation is provided by acquiring both qualitative and quantitative data concerning mature members' perceptions of apprenticed-neophytes functioning as members in the new community, apprenticed-neophytes' perceptions of their own membership and of the preparation process undertaken, and the comparison of these neophytes' performance with that of other neophytes in the community. The data obtained provide strong evidence in support of the potential usefulness of this apprenticeship model towards the declared purpose of improving the English-medium tertiary education of Turkish students in their chosen fields of study.

A case study of the Ellison model's use of mentoring as an approach toward inclusive community building

The Ellison Executive Mentoring Inclusive Community Building (ICB) Model is a paradigm for initiating and implementing projects utilizing executives and professionals from a variety of fields and industries, university students, and pre-college students. The model emphasizes adherence to ethical values and promotes inclusiveness in community development. It is a hierarchical model in which actors in each succeeding level of operation serve as mentors to the next. Through a three-step process—content, process, and product—participants must be trained with this mentoring and apprenticeship paradigm in conflict resolution, and they receive sensitivity and diversity training through an interactive and dramatic exposition. ^ The content phase introduces participants to the model's philosophy, ethics, values and methods of operation. The process used to teach and reinforce its precepts is the mentoring and apprenticeship activities and projects in which the participants engage and whose end product demonstrates their knowledge and understanding of the model's concepts. This study sought to ascertain from the participants' perspectives whether the model's mentoring approach is an effective means of fostering inclusiveness, based upon their own experiences in using it. The research utilized a qualitative approach and included data from field observations, individual and group interviews, and written accounts of participants' attitudes. ^ Participants complete ICB projects utilizing The Ellison Model as a method of development and implementation. They generally perceive that the model is a viable tool for dealing with diversity issues whether at work, at school, or at home. The projects are also instructional in that whether participants are mentored or serve as apprentices, they gain useful skills and knowledge about their careers. Since the model is relatively new, there is ample room for research in a variety of areas including organizational studies to determine its effectiveness in combating problems related to various kinds of discrimination. ^

Planung des Lernfeldunterrichtes im Spannungsfeld von Geschäftsprozessorientierung und lernfeldübergreifender Kompetenzentwicklung. Das Hamburger Konzept kooperativer curricularer Entwicklungsarbeit

Der Hamburger Schulversuch EARA (Erprobung neu strukturierter Ausbildungsformen im Rahmen des Ausbildungskonsenses 2007-2010“) wurde durch in Konsortium der Universität Hamburg evaluiert und wissenschaftlich begleitet. Die Schulversuchsevaluation gliederte sich in einen summativen und einen formativen Teil (vgl. EARA 2012, 11 f.). Im Rahmen der formativen Evaluation wurden intensive curriculare Entwicklungsarbeiten geleistet, die durch eine enge Kooperation von wissenschaftlicher Begleitung und Projektschulen geprägt waren. Dieser Beitrag stellt die theoretischen Grundlagen der gemeinsamen Curriculumentwicklung im Schulversuch EARA dar. Diese sind umfassend in der Kooperation mit der beruflichen Schule für Büro und Personalmanagement Bergedorf für das Berufsbild Kaufleute für Bürokommunikation umgesetzt worden. In diesem Beitrag werden zunächst zentrale Herausforderungen der schulnahen Curriculumentwicklung im Kontext des Lernfeldansatzes dargestellt, um dann im zweiten Abschnitt die im Schulversuch EARA zum Tragen gekommenen Lösungsansätze zu beschreiben. Die spezifischen Herausforderungen waren (1) eine veränderte curriculare Entwicklungslogik, (2) die notwendige curriculare Rekonstruktion von Lernfeldern, (3) die Schwierigkeiten prozessübergreifender Kompetenzentwicklung und (4) die geforderte Verknüpfung von Prozess- und Systemperspektive in den Lernsituationen. Die Lösungsvorschläge für diese Herausforderungen münden im Konzept der Hamburger Kompetenzmatrix und werden am Beispiel von Ergebnissen aus dem Projekt EARA dargestellt. Der Beitrag endet mit der Bilanzierung von Erfolgen und Desideraten.
