Özet

Bu makale, STEM (Bilim, Teknoloji, Mühendislik ve Matematik) eğitiminin Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu (OSB) olan öğrenciler üzerindeki etkilerini, sunduğu fırsatları ve karşılaşılan zorlukları kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapılarak betimsel yöntemle incelenmektedir. STEM eğitiminin tüm öğrencilerin 21. yüzyıl becerilerini kazanmaları açısından önemli olduğu ifade edilirken, özel gereksinimli öğrencilerin, özellikle de OSB tanısı olanların, bu alana entegrasyonunda yaşanan engellere odaklanmaktadır. Araştırma sürecinde, ilgili veri tabanları olan ERIC, Web of Science, EBSCOHost kullanılarak "STEM and autism", "STEM education", "students with disabilities", "Autism" ve "special education" anahtar kelimeleri ile arama yapılmıştır. Toplanan veriler, tematik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Uluslararası alanda yapılan çalışmalar kapsamında, OSB olan öğrencilerin sistemleştirmeye ve kural tabanlı düşünmeye olan eğilimi, onları STEM alanlarında başarılı olmaya yöneltebilir. STEM eğitiminin yapılandırılmış öğrenme ortamları, somut problem çözme becerileri ve keşfe dayalı yaklaşımları bu öğrencilerin sosyal ve bilişsel gelişimlerine önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, sosyal ve bilişsel alanlardaki zorlukların, özellikle işbirlikçi projelerde sorunlara neden olabileceği vurgulanmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, bu zorlukların üstesinden gelmek amacıyla bireyselleştirilmiş ve esnek müfredatlar, öğretmenlere yönelik özel eğitim programları ve teknoloji tabanlı araçların dahil edilmesi gibi somut öneriler sunulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak makale, alandaki bilgi birikimini analiz ederek tüm öğrencilerin yeteneklerine bakılmaksızın işgücüne katkıda bulunabileceği bir gelecek için yeni araştırmalara katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
