         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>In 2005, constructivism was the main educational philosophy in Turkey's education system. However, the 2017 curriculum reform has not any direct explanation about which educational philosophy is based on. In the 2017 curriculum reform, it is stated that the new curriculum is focused on innovation, social skills, life-based practical lessons, etc. Moreover, it is also shown that the new curriculum also has some common features with constructivism.<br><br>This video tells us what is constructivism and what its characteristics.</em></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>The main focus of the 2017 curriculum reform is social values and value education. After the reviews in the lectures and curriculum, each learning outcomes rewrite under the lights of social values and value education. Combining learning outcomes and social values and value education shows us that the new curriculum finds it essential to reflect these values in the class.</em></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>The main educational philosophy is -unfortunately- making students "Eastern Muslims." Taking out some of the topics such as evolutionary theory, combining different big lessons into basic lessons such as lessons about Atatürk. Adding "Jehadism" into normal schools (this subject was in the "İmamhatip Schools" already which is not a good situation from my point of view.) These changes make students ignorant. The students should learn physics, language, etc. not "Jehadism." It is reactionism in the education system.<br><br>In this video, you will understand this question clearly. The title actually explains it already.</em></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>In the 2017 curriculum reform, the essential part is adapting social values and value education to lectures. However, this adjustment needs detailed work by the researchers. Thus, the biggest issue in this curriculum is the lack of researches about key competencies. This curriculum needs a group of researchers in different proficiencies in order to make it of good quality. However, as we can see in the learning outcomes, these "values" are not well prepared for both teachers and students. They are not scientific they are just a couple of basic sentences that barely explain the values.</em></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Yes, to be more specific; the biggest change in ELTPs is the beginner grade and teaching theory. Until 2013, ELTPs were given in the 4th grades to start, with the changes of it, ELTPs started to given in 2nd grades. This is of course a good chance for ELT. In the 2017 curriculum reform, ELTPs changed as constructivism.
