Research Question

Do teachers pay attention to the participation of students to the currency of lesson and give them chance to be demonstrated their tasks or content of the subject by students?How participation is important for students ?

Many people who has been studying for a long time has an experience and idea about his or her learning style or how they have learned in proper way.Moreover, during the their educational process ,they have been facing with many different teachers and teaching styles.In this research , I have been touching the importance of the students participation on lessons and its effects on students and teachers.I would like to start with my experiences, I have been a student for fifteen years.I think that I can learn the any subject by experiencing it and participating the lesson and do myself it.Probably other students learn more when information is demonstrated to them, they will understand easily. For example, when I was at high-school, we had been experiencing what we had learned almost in every lesson. We cannot say that there is one student who did not participate and demonstrate in any part of lesson. This high school was technical high school. So the experiment and demonstration of lesson was important for students learning process. Now I study at Middle East Technical University.However, even though it is the one of most successful university in Turkey, Still the participation of students and demonstration is not quite important. For example, there are lots of foreign  students who study are asking question and participating lessons ,but Turkish students are not participating lesson so much.So ,in this part ,how teacher can push them to ask questions and rise the participation of the students to the lesson?and do teachers pay attention to the issue? Because , I think that the more you  participate and demonstrate the lessons ,the better learning will occur.

I have found some sources on the importance of participation.As I have mentioned participation is quite remarkable issue in education period.

Sources indicates that participation can develop new skills like debating, group decision making. Students can understand how decision should be made and how they can contribute to the discussions.Students can develop self confidence and better relationship with teachers, and other classmates.They will be more motivated when they increase their participation.As video shows , saying your opinion to the public is quite important to take rood in developing your personality.

Finally ,how I did my action research is that first ,I have an idea on this question and compared  the others opinion on this subject and lastly, I found some sources which they are underlying the important points.
