Educational Success Stories
Here are a few examples of DynEd in schools and universities.
-
- English has been identified as a national priority in Turkey, and DynEd's blended approach was viewed as the best way to scale up to meet this critical need. There are approximately 8.5 million students in these five grades in 22,000 schools around the country, but DynEd expects to reach only about 5 million who have access to computers in school at this time.
Bahçelievler Nebahat Keskin Elementary School
- Ankara, Turkey: In a 3 month pilot study conducted by the Turkish Ministry of Education, 98 students in 4 classes rated DynEd highly. Plans are now underway for the integration of DynEd programs into schools throughout Turkey.
Among the results, 83.7% of the students said their motivation often or always increased with DynEd, 92.9% said they felt lucky to work on DynEd programs, 82.7% said DynEd enabled them to use their senses (sight, hearing, etc.) more actively, and 85% said their vocabulary was increasing with DynEd. In comparison, only 14.3% of the students said they want to study English in a classroom (without DynEd).
