Children learn to play piano online, but they discover about its reality through game and experiments by questioning and testing opportunities. We have forgotten that very early in life, we learn through game and repeated trials. The laboratory work in this project involving online piano lessons is based on this reasoning.

Finally, the concept of educational quality is closely related to pedagogy. Lifelong questions of human beings centers basically on what knowledge is, how to acquire knowledge and what is the function of education in the society. These issues are fundamentally ideological and must constantly be the subject of open debate and dialogue. Quality in this perspective is to thoroughly consider what kind of school we want, what skills we want to enhance and what values we want to characterize our society in the future. For the individual, obtaining education is very much a profound enriching experience — learning to navigate the diversity by finding their way to their field of interest, and hopefully, discovering their own authentic voice among the multitudes of learners and searchers. In this process, future school teachers and educators hold a key guidance role.

From among others, these starting points were the definition of the project:

“Interactive teaching goes beyond the traditional textbook of words and images, the use of sound, music and video as well as through direct connection to the laboratory and other exercises.”

The school’s target gives us support in freely interpreted planning:

• develop the curiosity and desire to learn

• develop their own learning methods and opinions

• cultivate self-righteousness and cooperation

• test assumptions and solve problems

• reflect on experiences

• evaluate their own learning

Educational Processes in the Knowledge Garden based on the above can be summarized as :

• it requires students to take responsibility for their own learning

• active learning taking place in a research environment through problem solving using creativity and experimentation activities

• it is based on communication and dialogue in an open environment where many thoughts come together and are confirmed

• it involves learning through interaction with others where they both learn to cooperate and take advantage of others’ ideas

•it is based on problems the students themselves find worth solving

• it allows students to discover relationships and understand the wholes and the relationship its parts

• it encourages reflection on their own thinking and learning.
