Investigating of the Experiences of Students Studying in the Innovative and Flexible Learning Area Future Classroom Laboratory Space

Abstract

This research aims to examine the experiences of students studying in Zile Science High School Future Classroom Laboratory, an innovative and flexible learning area. The study group of the research consists of a total of 12 students, 8 girls and 4 boys. The research was designed in a phenomenological pattern, one of the qualitative models. The data of the study were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher. The qualitative data obtained in the research were analyzed using the content analysis method. As a result of the content analysis, it was seen that the participants acquired skills in three categories: learning and innovative skills, digital literacy skills and career and life skills within the scope of the 21st Century. It was observed that they stated that they gained individual and educational skills within the scope of active learning. Participants stated that innovative learning areas have some effects inside and outside the classroom and compared innovative learning areas with traditional learning areas. The results obtained were discussed in the light of the literature.

Yenilikçi ve Esnek Öğrenme Alanı Geleceğin Sınıf Laboratuvarı Alanında Eğitim Gören Öğrencilerin Deneyimlerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada yenilikçi ve esnek öğrenme alanı Zile Fen Lisesi Future Classroom Laburatuvarı sınıfında öğrenim gören öğrencilerin deneyimlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 8’i kız ve 4’ü erkek olmak üzere toplam 12 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma nitel modellerden olgu-bilim deseninde tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilmiş olan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen nitel veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan içerik analizi sonucunda katılımcıların 21. Yüzyıl kapsamında öğrenme ve yenilikçi becerileri, dijital okuryazarlık becerileri ve kariyer ve hayat becerileri olmak üzere üç kategoride beceriler edindikleri görülmüştür. Aktif öğrenme kapsamında bireysel ve eğitsel beceriler kazandıklarını ifade ettikleri görülmüştür. Yenilikçi öğrenme alanlarını sınıf içi ve sınıf dışı bir takım etkileri olduğunu belirten katılımcılar, yenilikçi öğrenme alanları ile geleneksel öğrenme alanlarının karşılaştırmasını yapmışlardır. Elde edilen sonuçlar alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.
