ISTANBUL AYDIN UNIVERSITY
CHILDREN'S UNIVERSITY – LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY ''WHAT WE RECOMMEND'' PROJECT


In May 2015, "What we Recommend" workshops were held in Istanbul Aydın University Children's University with the students of 12-15 age group. These workshops were carried out as an activity of the SIS Catalyst project run by the University of Liverpool.  In these workshops, firstly, it was discussed what information is useful for children in life, what factors are positive on the education of individuals, which ones have negative effects, and what are the obstacles to learning of individuals. Discussions were held with the children on this subject and on how to overcome the obstacles to the education of people in the second stage.  At the end of these discussions, suggestions were taken from the students about what can be done to increase the number of people who receive education and higher education.  Suggestions received are recorded on video; Shared via youtube.

SIS catalyst aims to facilitate the mobilization of science activities for children, to be easily accessible and widespread in the society, and for this purpose to mobilize inter-country mobilization of political processes. While the target audience of the formation is part of the high school, the formation works on social integration of all children into society and encouragement to higher education.

SIS Catalyst progresses through three themes:
Listening to children
To recognize the importance of children's dialogue with politicians
To support these dialogues to ensure that children's voice is delivered to media and policy makers.

ENRICHED SUPPORT EDUCATION PROGRAM PROJECT FOR DISADVANTAGED GIFTED CHILDREN


Dean Prof. Dr. Hamide Ertepınar as the Scientific Advisor Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Education, Project Technical Coordinator was Children's University Principal was Assist. Prof. Ayşin KAPLAN SAYI; Istanbul Aydın University, with its project supported by Istanbul Development Agency, has received a project support for our children, who have been identified as being at the same time special socio-economic level and at the same time twice disadvantaged. Accordingly, the Faculty of Education and the Child Education Application and Research Center has established a curriculum model that integrates thinking skills in different courses in accordance with their needs in order to provide psychological, social and cognitive development of specially gifted children.

The project aims to screen 3000 children at the second, third, fourth and fifth grade level in the districts of Esenler, Bayrampaşa, Güngören and Küçükçekmece and to receive enrichment education of 300 special talented students. Students who will be subjected to enrichment education consisting of Thinking Skills, Fun Science, Astronomy, English, Graphic - Web Design and Music courses for 8 weeks will also interview with individuals who are experts in the fields of Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Personal development with "Talent Meetings". Besides, the education of the students and the families of the selected students constitute the other bases of the project.

Families will be educated in the characteristics, parental attitudes, discipline and boundaries, effective communication, perfectionism and asynchronization in and of gifted children. When we look at the studies of gifted children so far in our country, these studies are generally progressing as different subjects to the horizontal enrichment curriculum or adding different courses to the school program. However, gifted children need a "vertical enrichment" to be developed with the integration of thinking skills on the basis of curricula which will increase their thinking capacities, enable them to do mental processes and support their creativity. With this project, an idea will be given to the public about how vertical enrichment is done in different courses and an example will be presented.
