PROJE TABANLI STEM ETKİNLİĞİ: OKULUMUZUN BAHÇESİNE MİNİ BİR ÇİFTLİK KURALIM
Bu çalışmada “Okulumuzun Bahçesine Mini Bir Çiftlik Kuralım” proje tabanlı STEM etkinliğinin sunulması amaçlanmaktadır. Etkinlik 2018-2019 eğitim öğretim yılında Giresun/Türkiye’de bir devlet ortaokulunda öğrenim gören 28 yedinci sınıf öğrencisiyle Nisan- Mayıs ayları boyunca fen bilimleri ve bilim uygulamaları derslerinde uygulanmıştır. Etkinlik öncesi bilimsel araştırma sorgulama süreci ile ilgili deneyimleri olan öğrencilere mühendislik tasarım süreci, proje yürütme süreci ve proje tabanlı STEM ile ilgili bilgiler verilmiştir. Daha sonra öğrencilere gerçek yaşam problemine çözüm olabilecek okulun bahçesine mini bir tavuk çiftliği kurmaya yönelik tasarım görevi verilmiştir. Öğrenciler projeyi tamamlayabilmek için “Bitkilerde ve Hayvanlarda Üreme, Büyüme ve Gelişme” konusu ile ilgili mini araştırmalar ve mini tasarımlar gerçekleştirmiştir. STEM disiplinlerine ilişkin bilgi ve becerilerini çiftlik tasarlamada kullanmışlardır. Öğrenciler bir STEM projesini yürütmüş, gerçek yaşam problemine yönelik çözüm üretmiş, bu çözümlerden birini seçmişler, gerçek yaşam ortamında uygulayarak değerlendirmiş ve sürdürmüşlerdir.
A PROJECT BASED STEM ACTIVITY: LET'S BUILD A MINI FARM ON OUR SCHOOLYARD
This study aimed to present a project-based STEM activity titled “Let's Build a Mini Farm on Our Schoolyard.” The activity was implemented in science and science applications courses during the 2018- 2019 academic year with 28 seventh grade students attending a state school in Giresun/Turkey. At the beginning of the study, the students learned about the engineering design process and project-based learning. Then, they were challenged with building a mini chicken farm on their schoolyard, which could be a solution of a real-world problem. To complete the project, they carried out mini researches and mini designs within the unit “Reproduction, Growth, and Development of Plants and Animals.” They used their knowledge and experience in STEM disciplines to design the farm. The students carried out the project activities, offered solutions to the real-world problem, selected one of these solutions, tested the solution, and solved the problem with a sustainable method.
