Bilim Ve Mühendislik Uygulamalarının Okulöncesi Öğrencilerinin Bilimsel Süreç Becerilerine Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Yıl 2020, Cilt: 5 Sayı: 2, 285 - 303, 31.12.2020

Öz

Erken çocuklukta bilim ve mühendislik uygulamalarının, sorgulama temelli oyunlarla entegre edilmiş projelerle uygulanması önemlidir. Bu da çocukların eğlenceli, kaygılanmadan öğrenmelerini ve becerilerini geliştirmelerini sağlamaktadır. Bu becerileri gelişen çocuklar yetişkin olduklarında innovatif projeler geliştirebileceklerdir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı; erken çocuklukta bilim ve mühendislik uygulamalarının çocukların bilimsel süreç becerilerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu; İstanbul’da bir özel okulun okulöncesi eğitimine devam eden 5 yaş grubu 14 (yedi kız yedi erkek) öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin bir arada kullanıldığı karma desen türlerinden olan gömülü desen olarak tasarlanmıştır. Veriler, “Bilimsel Süreç Becerileri Testi” ve “öğrenci projeleri değerlendirme rubriği” ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmada öğrenciler köprü, paraşüt, araba ve salıncak projelerini gruplar halinde yapmışlardır. Projeler Stem döngüsünün aşamaları gözönünde bulundurularak yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bilimsel süreç beceri testi nicel ve nitel olarak, proje değerlendirme rubriği nicel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre bilim ve mühendislik projelerinin, öğrencilerin bilimsel süreç becerilerini geliştirdiğini göstermektedir.
