Secondary School Students' Feedback on Course Processing and Collaborative Learning with Web 2.0 Tools-Supported STEM Activities

Abstract

The aim of our work is to develop STEM activities supported by Web 2.0 tools and to examine the opinions of the students about collaborative learning method. At the beginning of the application, the Web 2.0 tool used by the researchers was taught to the student groups. The study group consists of six girls and six boys from seventh class secondary school students of Konya Selçuklu Sancak Secondary School in 2016-2017. Necessary corrections on STEM activity, developed by the researchers, were made by taking the opinions of 3 field experts and 1 language expert. This research is a descriptive study in qualitative structure. Semi-structured interview forms and video images were used to collect qualitative data. Video recording was conducted to gather opinions, behaviors and experience of using Web 2.0 tools on students' educational environment. According to the results of the training, the students expressed a positive opinion about STEM education method. It has been seen that students were having fun while using Web 2.0 tools and performing group work in the developed teaching environment. In addition, 10 students were positive about the collaborative teaching environment and 2 students were negative. Students stated that group work was useful when performing animation. It has been observed that; the use of Web 2.0 tools increased the attention and motivation of the students.
