“…Son 10 yılda girişimci proje (entrepreneurial project) terimi hem ulusal (Aslan, 2021;Deveci, 2016;Deveci, 2019;Deveci & Çepni, 2014;Deveci & Çepni, 2017;Işık vd., 2015) hem de uluslararası literatürde (Hattab, 2010;Siam & Rifai, 2012) sıkça telaffuz edilmektedir. Bunların yanında öğrencilerin girişimci proje fikirleri üretmelerini sağlayacak STEM [(Fen (Science), Teknoloji (Technology), Mühendislik (Engineering) ve Matematik (Mathematics)] eğitimi ve girişimciliğin bütünleştirilmesine vurgu yapan çok sayıda araştırma görmek de mümküdür (Akrami, 2022;Pabuçcu-Akiş & Demirer, 2022;Piva & Rovelli, 2022;Meral & Altun-Yalçın, 2022). Bu anlamda Eltanahy ve Mansour (2022) girişimci STEM (Entrepreneurship-STEM) eğitiminde; STEM eğitimi aracılığıyla öğrencilerin girişimcilik ile ilgili uygulama yapmalarının teşvik edilebileceğine dikkat çeker.…”

The emphasis in the literature on the need to integrate science education and entrepreneurship education has been increasing in recent years. Accordingly, the emphasis on entrepreneurship is increasing in both science curriculum and science textbooks. Thus, the entrepreneurship dimension draws attention in the project tasks included in the science textbooks. The aim of this research is to examine the project tasks in the 5-8 grade science textbooks in terms of entrepreneurial project characteristics. Document analysis method was used in the research. The data of the research were obtained from the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade science textbooks published in 2019. A total of 42 project tasks were analyzed in seven science textbooks. The "Entrepreneurial Project Checklist" consisting of 13 criteria developed by the researchers was used to analyze the project tasks. Basic content analysis technique was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it has been determined that while some of the project tasks have entrepreneurial project characteristics, some of them are not sufficiently included in entrepreneurial project characteristics. In addition, it has been determined that all of the project tasks include a stage or instruction that will enable students to create a prototype of their project ideas. On the other hand, it was determined that no stage or instruction was included in any project task that would enable students to associate project ideas with the country's economy. From this point forth, entrepreneurial project characteristics can be included more in the project tasks of science textbooks that will be renewed in the future.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of STEM-based robotic coding education for primary schoolers in terms of their decision-making skills. Mixed method was preferred in the research. Pretest-posttest control group designs were used in the quantitative phase, and the case study was used in the qualitative phase of the research. The study sample consisted of 65 third graders. Pre-testing of experimental and control group students was performed using the decision-making skill scale. STEM-based robotic coding training was given to the experimental group for 6 weeks. Afterwards, the decision-making skill scale was applied as a post-test to both the experimental and control group. Quantitative data were analyzed with the paired and independent samples t-test. A statistically significant increase was observed in the experimental group students’ decision-making skills in favor of the post-test. There was no significant difference between the pre-and post-test scores of the control group students. An interview with 15 experimental group students was conducted in order to collect qualitative data, and the interview results were analyzed using the content analysis technique. According to the qualitative findings, robotic coding education positively affected the students’ decision-making, problem-solving, and willingness to share ideas. Suggestions were made based on the results.
