6. We all probably heard something about village institutions at once in
our education. It was a pioneer system having a unique curriculum in
which integrated application and theory in one place.
WHY DID WE CHOOSE
THIS TOPIC?
6
* The legacy of such institutions
affected generations in good
manner.
* We are curious what would
happen if village institutions
which were so effective and
successful under harsh
circumstances in those days were
still on. 11*
7. The Born Of Illumination Movement in
Anatolia: Village Institutes
Village Institutes were the most original
and useful practice of Republic
illumination.
Village Institutes settled on a legal
basement in April 17th, 1940.
They were not limited only education of
teachers for their villages and they aimed
to grow well-rounded individuals. They
gave education for teachers as medical
employees, technicians, farmers and so
on. (Aysal, 2005)

8. * The village people had not an opportunity to become as a
republic citizen for participating in democracy due to lack of
education access. So, the solution will be a new luminary who
understands the villagers’ language.

foundation. They also provided to grow a young population to
help the problems of the people who live in country.

and the roles of the teachers are the concepts which become a
current issue almost in every society.

10. * In order to cope with these crucial problems, things which
need to be done is the followings:
Ministry of education should cooperate with YÖK
Planning of teacher training
Reforming teacher training programs and these programs
should also be consistent with programs of ministry of
educations
Enhancing cooperation between faculty of education and
schools
All of these regulations should benefit from contemporary
implementations.

11. Arts Education, Arts and Village Institutes
Aside from fundamental lessons, every topic
that relates to life was taught in harmony. With
influential educational methods in history, the
program included handicraft, fine arts and also
students read world’s classics, listened to
classical music , played theater to recognize
world.
Village Intuitions model is alike to well-known
problem-related teaching model. It is also a
similar form of Leonardo Da Vinci education
program in graduation program which was
implemented in EU by EACEA. (Ülkü, 2008)

12. * In 1943’s Village Institution official curriculum consisted of fine
art lessons for 22 hours, agriculture lessons and practice for 11
hours, technical lessons and practice for 11 hours.
* Ahmet Özel who is a Village Institution graduate said in an
interview “When I was in an institution, we are taught music, folk
dance, art, cultural studies and reading habit. During our practice,
we learnt how to solve probable problem which we may
encounter” (Kartal, 2008)

13. Village Institutions had many extra curricular activities in the
light of art such as dancing, playing music instruments, theather.
Besides, there were also applications like crafting, farming and
husbandry. Those who graduated form such schools integrated
these activities into their lessons which enabled to raise
children’s awareness.
Yet, in today’s education program does not put sufficient
emphasis on such activities and it works on theory based mostly.

23. * The senior students in the faculty of education have more
information about the village institutions than teachers who
are in active duty.
* Teachers do not put too much emphasis on playing a music
instrument, yet senior students are prone to play music
instruments.
* Many of participants both students and teachers attend art
classes in their education process. However, we concluded
that neither teachers nor students give enough importance
on art activities. Playing a music instrument is not common
among either teachers or students.
DATA ANALYSIS
23
24. * Teachers(mostly in Private School) usually assert that
their school puts enough emphasis on art lessons. On
the contrary, senior students in Boğaziçi University
generally reaches a consensus on that is not supported.
* Teachers rarely encourage their students to actively
participate into any art branch.
DATA ANALYSIS
24
25. * Educators, teachers, parents and students should be informed
about the art's positive effect on education.
* Teacher candidates should be educated on fine arts.
* Teachers should use the arts as one of the teaching methods.
* Teacher should get students adopt a habit about the art.
* Extra-curricular activities and fine arts should be paid attention in
the curriculum.
* Both teachers and families should encourage students to
participate in extra-curricular activities.
* Government, business world and non-government organizations
should be supportive about this subject.
SUGGESTIONS
25
26. Curriculum of education faculties generally includes 50% field
information and skills, 30% teachers’ profession knowledge and skills,
20% general knowledge.
Therefore, curriculum of education faculties should have compulsary
art classes. 26
SUGGESTIONS
12*
27. * If the Village Institutes were not closed;
there could be many extra-curricular activities on schools’
programs which were encourged by those teachers
graduating from the institutions.
There could be more individuals interesting in any art
branches.
In terms of art, many generation would be more intellectual
and society could internalize art more deeply.
* Today we cannot reopen village institutions in the same
program in 1940s but it can be established with new system
according to today’s needs.
