Bir ülkede demokratik okulların olu şum süreçleri ki şilerin zihinsel şemalarıyla ilgilidir; zihinsel olarak çocu ğa yönelik demokratik bir yakla şıma yatkın olu şla ba şlar ve bakı ş açılarının bu yönde geli şmesi ve içselle ştirilmesiyle ortaya çıkar. Bu çalı şmada, bu sürecin ilk basamaklarından olan ö ğrencilerin demokratik okula yatkınlıklarının tespit edilmesi amaçlanmı ştır. Bu amaç do ğrultusunda, ilk ve ortaö ğretim düzeyindeki ö ğrencilerin bir demokratik okulda olmasını istedikleri özelliklere ve uygulamalara ili şkin yazdıkları yazılar incelenmi ş, yazılara içerik analizi uygulanmı ş, ara ştırmanın amaçları do ğrultusunda ve demokratik okul perspektifinden yorumlanmaya çalı şılmı ştır.

Birinci bölümde giri ş ve problem, ikinci bölümde ilgili alanyazın, üçüncü bölümde yöntem, dördüncü bölümde bulgular ve yorum ve be şinci bölümde sonuç ve öneriler yer almaktadır. Bulgulara bakıldı ğında, ö ğrencilerin demokratik okullarda temel olan be ş temel ölçütten 86 alt boyutun % 95’ine atıfta bulundukları görülmü ştür. Bu durum da ülkemizdeki ö ğrencilerin demokratik okullarda da temel olan alt boyutlarla ilgili farkındalı ğına i şaret etmektedir. Bu atıflar kimi zaman demokratik okullardaki anlayı şlarla paralellik gösterirken, kimi zaman demokratik okullardaki anlayı şlarla tezat içerisindedir.

The formation of a democratic school in a country concerns the conceptual framework of the constituents of that country; it commences from being affined to the concept of addressing the child democratically and comes into being as this democratic approach to the child progresses to the point of internalization. This study, as a first step, aims to determine the affinity of sudents to the democratic school. To accomplish this purpose, the middle school and high school students were asked to write about the features and the practices they would like to have in a democratic school and these texts have been scrutinized, are subjected to content analysis and the findings have been interpreted in terms of a democratic school perspective and in accordance with the aims of the study. This study is comprised of 5 sections. The first section includes the introduction and the problem, the second section the review of the literature, the third section includes the methodology, the fourth section includes the findings and the interpretation, the fifth section includes the results and the propositions. The findings denote that with the 5 criterion and the 86 concepts of the democratic schools, the students in our country refer to the 95 % of them. This indicates that our students are also conscious about the concepts of the democratic schools. These referals are sometimes in concordance with the democratic school and sometimes in contrast. Key Words: Democracy, Democratic School, Democratic Education, Democracy in Schools, Student. vii İÇİNDEK İLER BÖLÜMLER SAYFA TEZ ONAYI.................................................................................................. iv ÖNSÖZ......................................................................................................... v ÖZET............................................................................................................ vi ABSTRACT................................................................................................. vii İÇİNDEK İLER............................................................................................. viii-ix TABLOLAR LİSTES İ.................................................................................. x-xvi ŞEK İLLER L İSTES İ....................................................................................

    TALK AT NY OPEN CENTER Three days after getting back from the trip to the Alternative Education Conference in Boulder, I was scheduled to speak at the New York Open Center, in New York City. This was set up at the suggestion of Center Director Ralph White, who had heard about my teacher education conferences in Russia, and wanted to share information about a new center they are setting up there. Although there were not many pre-registered, I was surprised to find an overflow audience at the Center, with great interest in educational alternatives. People who attended that presentation continue to contact us almost daily. The Open Center is a non-profit Holistic Learning Center, featuring a wide variety of presentations and workshops. 83 Spring St., NY, NY 10012. 212 219-2527. FERNANDEZ, MEIER, AND RILEY AT EWA MEETING At the Education Writers Conference in Boston, I got to meet the Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley. After he talking about the possibility of new national standards, a quasi-national curriculum, I told him that there were hundreds of thousands of homeschoolers and thousands of alternative schools that did not want a curriculum imposed on them. I asked him how he would approach that fact. He responded that "When we establish these standards they will uplift us all." I did not find that reply comforting. On the other hand, I am pleased that Madelin Kunin, former governor of Vermont, is the new Deputy Secretary of Education. She once spoke at the graduation of Shaker Mountain School when I was Headmaster, and is quite familiar with educational alternatives.

    Other Education: The Journal of Educational Alternatives ISSN 2049-2162 Volume 1(2012), Issue 1 · pp. 141-151. Who Asks the Questions?1 David Gribble Independent scholar Abstract If children are to grow up to be responsible adults who contribute to the development of an ideal society, they need to feel able to ask questions of their own rather than simply learning the answers to other people’s questions. This idea is expanded, and examples are given of places where such an approach has been adopted. Keywords questions, self-government, mutual respect, shared responsibility Nowadays, what’s known as education very often consists of asking children questions, which is extremely odd, because we presumably know more answers than they do, and instead of them asking us, we do tend to ask them. Or perhaps we tell them something, and then ask them questions to find out whether they’ve remembered it, and whether they’ve learnt what we were telling them, and what we tell them is, in most people’s minds, supposed to equip them to fit into modern society. Now, over the last 50 years, I have come to regard this approach as extremely foolish. Most people, most schools, which start with interesting and experimental ideas, gradually move back towards the conventional, and I have moved in the opposite direction. I started teaching at Repton boys’ public school – only boys in those days – and I came to disapprove of it, and I was lucky enough to get a job at Dartington Hall School, which was one of the great progressive schools of the time, and when Dartington Hall School closed, then a group of children and two staff and I started another small school [Sands School], in the same area, which took the 1 This is a lightly edited transcript of a talk given by David Gribble at a conference on Challenging Learner Voice, organised by Futurelab at Warwick University on October 23rd 2008.

  • Good News for Francisco Ferrer – How Anarchist Ideals in Education Have Survived Around the World1
    10 David Gribble Good news for Francisco Ferrer – how anarchist ideals in education have survived around the world1 Introduction This chapter discusses the educational ideas of Francisco Ferrer, as expressed in his book The origin and ideals of the Modern School (1913) and compares these ideas with actual practice in anarchist schools early in the twentieth century. I suggest that a parallel movement grew up during the last century in the progres- sive or democratic schools which was in many ways closer in spirit to Ferrer than these early anarchist schools. This chapter reviews the fundamental principles of a free education before describing how these may be observed in practice in some of the many schools around the world that may be described variously as dem- ocratic, non-authoritarian, non-formal or free. The examples chosen come from many different cultures, and they differ widely from each other, but all are based on respect for the child as a person with the same rights as anyone else. In such schools, ignorant of Ferrer though they may be, many of his ideas have been proved by experience. The Modern School Education in Spain in the early 1900s had been dominated by the clergy for cen- turies. However, the times were changing. The foundation of Ferrer’s Escuela Moderna in Barcelona, and the publication of his book The origins and ideals of the Modern School led to a movement which spread rapidly through Spain and France and even reached the United States. ‘In every country,’ wrote Ferrer, ‘the governing classes, which formerly left education to the clergy, as these were quite willing to educate in a sense of obe- dience to authority, have now themselves undertaken the direction of schools’ (Ferrer, 1913: 26).

These schools varied widely in programs and policies, but common factors among them were a disenchantment with conventional schooling, a desire to reform education, and (frequently) the belief that schools should be controlled by the population served, including children. The National Coalition of Alternative Community Schools was formed in 1976. Its journal from 1985 to 1990 was SKOLE (from a Greek word for the type of dialectical activity conducted by Socrates). This volume contains selected articles published during that period.
