Popüler Kültür Temelli Bir STEM Medya İçeriğinin İncelenmesi

Popüler kültür öğelerinin eğitimde kullanımı, özellikle erken çocukluk döneminde öğrenme motivasyonunu ve kavramsal gelişimi desteklemesi açısından önemli görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda çocukların izledikleri çizgi filmlerin içeriği ve yayının eğitsel potansiyeli, onların bilimsel düşünme becerilerinin gelişimi, merak duygularının desteklenmesi ve öğrenmeye yönelik olumlu tutum kazanmaları açısından kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında, çizgi filmin tüm bölümleri doküman analizi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler ele alınan fen kavramları, bilimsel süreç becerileri, STEM bileşenleri ve duyuşsal yönelimler olmak üzere dört ana tema altında yapılandırılmıştır. Bulgular, “Aslan’ın Deney Odası”nın popüler kültür aracılığıyla bilimsel içerikleri erken yaş grubuna uygun, eğlenceli ve öğretici bir biçimde sunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Fen kavramlarının disiplinler arası dağılımı, bilimsel süreç becerilerinin sistematik temsili ve STEM unsurlarının dengeli entegrasyonu dikkat çekicidir. Ayrıca merak, işbirliği ve azim gibi duyuşsal öğelerin çizgi film boyunca tutarlı biçimde temsil edildiği belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, popüler kültür ürünlerinin eğitimde nasıl etkili öğrenme araçlarına dönüştürülebileceğine dair kapsamlı ve özgün bir örnek sunmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda, erken çocukluk eğitimcilerinin “Aslan’ın Deney Odası” gibi yapımları sınıf içi STEM etkinliklerine entegre ederek öğrencilerin hem bilimsel süreç becerileri hem de duyuşsal gelişimlerini destekleyen kapsayıcı öğrenme ortamları oluşturmalı gibi öneriler getirilmiştir.
