Abstract:Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi eğitimi 5-6 yaş grubu öğrencilerine yönelik mühendislik tasarıma dayalı STEM etkinlikleri geliştirmek ve bu STEM etkinliklerinin öğrencilerin yaratıcı düşünmesine etkisini tespit etmektir. Araştırmada yöntem yarı deneysel desen benimsenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 5-6 yaş grubu sınıflarında öğrenim gören deney grubu ve kontrol grubu olmak üzere toplam 60 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada 6 STEM etkinliği geliştirilmiş, her bir etkinlik toplam 8 haftalık süreçte uygula… Show more
“…In a way that satisfies this sense of curiosity, robotic applications, coding and STEM activities for children will both enable children to explore their surroundings and support their active structure [52,54,100,101]. In the researches, it has been concluded that electronic books, STEM activities, augmented reality applications, robotic coding and applications applied for children in early childhood have a significant contribution to the development of creativity skills in children [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61].…”

“…As a result of the research, it was concluded that there was a significant increase in children's creativity skills. Another similar study was carried out by Güldemir and Çınar [59]. The researchers worked with 60 children from the age group of five-six for 8 weeks, accompanied by six STEM activities.…”

Thanks to technology, which has the potential to go to the most remote places and which concerns individuals of all ages and from all walks of life, many actions that were previously impossible can be done. Especially children constitute the important human resources of technology. However, the conscious use of technology is considered important. Creativity is a phenomenon that can be utilized in the conscious use of technology. Creativity is defined as the ability to create original products, to think and feel differently. The innate creativity ability may decrease over time. The decrease in creativity can pave the way for the emergence of individuals who think and act in a uniform way. Such a situation can undoubtedly be an important obstacle to social progress. For this reason, it is necessary to support the creativity abilities of children. In supporting creativity, the use of technology, in which children spend most of their time, will ensure the realization of two-way purposes. Based on these considerations, it is aimed to explain how the technology-creativity relationship can be combined in childhood.

“…Okul öncesi eğitimde STEM'i oluşturan disiplinlerin ve STEM deneyimlerinin çocukların gelişim düzeylerine uygun bir şekilde ele alınması gerekmektedir (Erol & İvrendi, 2021). Yapılan çalışmalar erken çocukluk döneminde çocukların STEM eğitiminden bilimsel süreç becerilerini (Ünal & Aksüt, 2021) ve yaratıcı düşünme düzeylerini olumlu etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur (Güldemir & Çınar, 2021). Bu nedenle bu çalışmada ortaya çıkan erken STEM eğitiminin gerekliliği bulgusunun alanyazınla desteklendiği görülmüştür.…”
STEM eğitim modeli fen, matematik, teknoloji ve mühendisliğin birbirlerini kapsayacak biçimde okul öncesinden yükseköğretim düzeyine kadar tüm eğitim kademelerinde öğretilmesini hedeflemektedir. Ancak ülkemizde bu eğitime tüm öğrencilerin ulaşabileceği kurumlar sayıca azdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı hiçbir bireysel özellik gözetilmeksizin öğrencileri STEM eğitim modeli ile tanıştırmak amacıyla açılmış olan, kar amacı gütmeyen bir STEM eğitimi merkezinde görev yapan eğitim personelinin STEM eğitimi hakkındaki görüşlerini ortaya koymaktır. Nitel araştırma modellerinden durum çalışması deseninde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmanın katılımcıları kritik durum örneklemesi ile belirlenen dört eğitimciden oluşmaktadır. Yapılan yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler sonucunda STEM eğitiminin özellikleri, amaçları, mevcut uygulamalar, karşılaşılan zorluklar, merkezin işleyişiyle ilgili görüşler ve öneriler temalarında bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ülkemizde STEM eğitiminin yaygınlaştırılması için bir model niteliği taşımaktadır.
“…Literatürde STEM ve STEAM eğitimlerinin çocukların, akademik benlik algıları (Koç, 2019) üzerinde de etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, STEM eğitiminin çocukların, problem çözme becerilerini (Akçay-Malcok ve Ceylan 2021; Bal, 2018), bilimsel süreç becerilerini (Alan, 2020;Çilengir-Gültekin, 2019;Kavak, 2020) yaratıcılıklarını (Çilengir-Gültekin, 2019Güldemir, 2019;Üret, 2019) desteklediğini ortaya koymuştur. STEAM eğiminin çocukların birçok becerisinde etkililiğin ortaya konmasıyla söz konusu eğitiminde çocukları okula hazırlama noktasında yararlanma fikri düşülmeye başlanmıştır (Erol, 2021: 64).…”
