According to the 4MAT model there are four learning styles and each student can learn more comfortable with their own learning styles. In consideration of neurological studies, also, the dominant hemisphere used by individuals in the information processing process is important in the 4MAT model. This chapter presents a lesson plan based on the 4MAT model as well as the results regarding the application of this lesson plan in a middle school located in the northern part of Turkey. The lesson plan was prepared by examining the books titled “4MAT 4 algebra: The system of mathematics” and “4 MAT 4 geometry teacher book” and receiving expert opinions.","PeriodicalId":171936,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Innovations in Non-Traditional Educational Practices","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117172004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two of the more common models for open digital badges are presented: open digital badges for standalone skill validation as well as the use of open digital badges within post-secondary programs. In addition, some of the benefits and challenges of open digital badges are illustrated using examples of their usage throughout the world. The predominant research on the subject suggests that open digital badges will play a positive role in skill validation and credentialing in the years to come. Institutions will need to evaluate various models, pros and cons of each, and through proper consultation, select the structure which best suits their needs.","PeriodicalId":171936,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Innovations in Non-Traditional Educational Practices","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117115159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
