TURKEY

Hacettepe STEM Lab. Academy

This Project created by Assoc. Prof. Gültekin Çakmakçı who Works at Hacettepe University. He also president of STEM Lab. Academy.

It has been carried out 10 training courses to STEM teachers within the project up to now.

The Project has lasted for two years.

Each training events took two days within the STEM Education.

480 STEM teachers took advantege of STEM workshops in the scope of STEM Project.

Scope of the Project

What does it mean STEM? Is STEM important or not! If STEM is

important that’s why! What can be done within the STEM for

teachers and also for pupils? What kind of activities can be carried out with

using STEM?

What does it mean Inquary based learnining?

What kind of stages does IBL has? How can be configured a science course

with using IBL? What does it mean Formative

Assessment? Formative Assessment is important or

not! That’s why!

We want our pupils…

Especially;

have creativity skills,

have innovation skills,

have entrepreneur skills,

What did we do? Firstly, STEM teachers were educated on STEM after that they

educated their pupils on STEM.

Teachers tried their pupils’ realising their potential on STEM.

Teachers carried out some activities with their pupils. Robotics, Digital games, Crazy experiments on science education, Lego studies,

National Conference on STEM

Aims:

To see pojects’ results on STEM, To gather researchers, STEM teachers, academicians,

pupils and their parents, To support each of Professional expert’s experience, Doing, Hands on actvities about STEM, To Show why we have to develop STEM studies in

Turkey,
