A Theoretical Study on STEM Education: Proposal of Two Applications
Abstract
As communication technology develops rapidly in the
21st century, it is easy to reach knowledge. At this point students should be
able to create their own knowledge by researching, analyzing and synthesizing
rather than asking the questions they can reach via internet. Real life problems may not be solved according
to a single discipline. Therefore, it would be beneficial for us to transfer
the climate and teamwork to the disciplines as a whole for the students. The
purpose of this study is to present the importance and unexplained parts of STEM
education through literature scan and especially to suggest STEM practices which
mostly deal with mathematics classes. This study is a theoretical study and
document analysis technique from qualitative research methods was used in the
study. The study was prepared in terms
of theory and it was presented to be an example for the other researchers.
There are two sample practices together with their objectives in this study.
While SCRATCH coding program was used in one of the applications and the other
application was structured on isoperimetric theorem.
