THE EFFECT OF MOBILE SCIENCE SCHOOL II PROJECT ON THE STUDENTS’ ATTITUDE AND MOTIVATION

In this study, it was aimed to analyze the effect of a sample science school implementation designed on the basis of students’ stroll in different teaching environments and using different kinds of student-centered teaching methods on the attitudes of the secondary school students towards science and their motivation for learning science. In the science school designed for this purpose, "Mobile Science School II" program including planetarium, observatory, laboratory, outdoor, hands-on activities, games, art workshops, seminars and creative drama applications were presented to the students. In this context, 46 7 th grade students participated in the nature education project carried out in Samsun province of Turkey and supported by The Scientific and Techological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) constituted.
