Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to reveal how primary school teacher candidates who were educated in the primary school teaching program experienced the problem-based STEM application performed in Science and Technology Teaching (STT) I and which skills they employed in the process. The research was carried out with a case study, one of the qualitative research approaches. Easily accessible sampling metho was used to identify participants. In this context, 41 primary school teacher candidates who were studying in their third year in the classroom teaching program at the education faculty of a university and taking the STT I course participated. The research data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations.Descriptive analysis technique was used to analyze the data in the study. The interviews and the data obtained from the recorded videos about the STEM activity that the primary school teacher candidates conducted within the scope of the STT I course, "The Studies of Primary School Teacher Candidates in the STEM Implementation Process", "The Skills and Affective Characteristics of Primary School Candidates Employed in the STEM Implementation Process", "Primary School Candidates' Opinions on the STEM Implementation Process ”under the themes in the form of findings. As a result of the research, it was seen that the teacher candidates both followed the engineering design steps and used interdisciplinary skills within the scope of an engineering design task presented in a real life context.

Özet

Bu araştırmada, sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının Fen ve Teknoloji Öğretimi I dersinde gerçekleştirilenprobleme dayalı STEM uygulamasını nasıl deneyimledikleri ve süreç içinde hangi becerilerikullandıklarının ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarından durumçalışması ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu araştırmada nitel çalışmalarda sıklıkla kullanılan yöntemlerdenkolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda bir üniversitenin eğitim fakültesinde sınıföğretmenliği programında üçüncü sınıfında öğrenim gören ve Fen ve Teknoloji öğretimi dersini alan 41sınıf öğretmeni adayı katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme ve gözlem yoluile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin çözümlenmesinde betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Sınıföğretmeni adaylarının Fen ve Teknoloji Öğretimi I dersi kapsamında yaptıkları STEM etkinliği ile ilgiligerçekleştirilen görüşmeler ve kaydedilen videolardan ulaşılan veriler, “Sınıf Öğretmeni AdaylarınınSTEM Uygulama Sürecinde Yaptıkları Çalışmalar”, “STEM Uygulama Sürecinde Sınıf ÖğretmeniAdaylarının Kullandıkları Beceriler ve Duyuşsal Özellikler”, “STEM Uygulama Sürecine İlişkin SınıfÖğretmeni Adaylarının Görüşleri” temaları altında bulgular biçiminde sunulmuştur. Araştırmasonucunda, öğretmen adaylarının gerçek yaşam bağlamında sunulan bir mühendislik tasarım görevikapsamında gerek mühendislik tasarım basamaklarını takip ettiklerini gerekse de disiplinler arasıbecerileri kullandıkları görülmüştür.
