Abstract
Big History Project (BHP) Büyük Patlama'dan
günümüze kadar olan tarihi, disiplinlerarası bir biçimde kapsayan pilot
okullar, öğretmenler ve eğitimciler için oluşturulmuş ücretsiz ve çevrimiçi bir
eğitim platformudur. Proje, lise öğrencileri arasında öğrenme konusunda daha
büyük bir kapasite geliştirmeye adanmıştır. Projeyi destekleyenler arasında
Bill Gates, David Christian ve Michigan Üniversitesi bulunmaktadır. BHP,
dünyaya büyük bir resim sunmakta ve öğrencilerin okul içinde ve dışında
öğrendiklerini anlamlandırmak için bir çerçeve geliştirmelerine yardımcı
olmaktadır. Derslerde öğrencilere, yaklaşık 14 milyar yıl olan dünya tarihinde
bugüne nasıl vardığımız ve gelecekte nelerle karşılaşabileceğimiz konusunda
geniş bir perspektif sunulmaktadır. 2011
yılında 7 pilot okulda başlatılan çalışma, 2019 yılı itibariyle 1500'ün
üzerinde okulda yaygınlaştırılmıştır. Bu okulların büyük bir bölümü Amerika'da
bulunmaktadır. Programda yer alan öğrenciler okuma, yazma ve içerik bilgisinde
net ve kanıtlanmış kazanımlar göstermektedir. Programın bu iddiasından ötürü
son yıllarda İngiltere'deki okulların da bu programı uygulamaya geçtikleri
görülmektedir. Bu başarıya rağmen BHP ve proje ana sponsoru Bill Gates müfredat
sunumundan ötürü eleştirilmektedir.

Abstract
The Big History
Project (BHP) is a free and online training platform for pilot schools,
teachers and educators covering the history from the Big Bang to the present in
an interdisciplinary manner. The project is dedicated to building a greater
capacity for learning history among high school students. Project supporters
include Bill Gates, David Christian and the University of Michigan. BHP
provides a great picture to the world and helps students develop a framework to
make sense of what they learn inside and outside the school. The lessons provide
students with a broad perspective on how we have reached today and what we can
face in the future, which is around 14 billion years in world history. The
study started in 7 pilot schools in 2011 and has been expanded to more than
1500 schools as of 2019. Most of these schools are located in America. Students
in the program show clear and proven gains in reading, writing, and content
knowledge. Because of this claim of the program, it is seen that schools in the
UK have also implemented this program in recent years. Despite this success,
BHP and the project main sponsor, Bill Gates have been criticized.
