In this research, it is aimed to investigate impact of science activities applied with non-fiction science picture books on 21st century skills of 60-72 months old children. The study was conducted with a total of 58 children, in other words 29 children in the experimental group and 29 children in the control group. In the research, quantitative data were obtained with the 21st century skills scale which as given to children before and after the application, and the obtained data were construed by using statistical analyzes. In the light of the results obtained from the research, it can be observed that applying science acitivities through/via the non-fiction science books positively supported the 21st century skills and their sub-dimension skills such as “learning and innovation”, “living and career”, and “information-media and technology” skills of the children.

Bilgi Veren Resimli Fen Kitapları ile Uygulanan Fen Etkinliklerinin 60-72 Aylık Çocukların 21. Yüzyıl Becerileri Üzerindeki Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu araştırmada, bilgi veren resimli fen kitapları ile uygulanan fen etkinliklerinin 60-72 aylık çocukların 21. yüzyıl becerilerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden oluşan araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2022-2023 eğitim-öğretim yılında Uşak ilinde MEB bağlı bir devlet anaokulunda öğrenim gören 60-72 aylık çocuklar oluşturmuştur. Çalışma, deney grubunda 29, kontrol grubunda 29 çocuk olmak üzere toplam 58 çocuk ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada veriler çocuklara uygulama öncesi ve sonrası yapılan 21. yüzyıl becerileri ölçeği ile elde edilmiş ve elde edilen veriler istatiksel analizler kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında bilgi veren resimli fen kitapları ile uygulanan fen etkinlikleri etkili bir şekilde uygulandığında 21. yüzyıl becerilerini ve alt boyutları olan “öğrenme ve yenilik”, “yaşam ve kariyer” ve “bilgi-medya ve teknoloji” becerilerini olumlu yönde desteklediği görülmektedir.
