Cultivating Career Interests and STEM Attitudes in High School Students: The Role of Smart Agriculture Applications

Öz

Coding education is becoming widespread in all countries, and students are expected to be able to integrate technology with life problems by creating innovative and creative designs. The theme or unstructured problem situation to be presented to students to produce solutions with technology should be authentic and current and point to a problem they encounter. One of the most important problems we have faced recently is global warming and the climate crisis. The climate crisis requires countries to determine new policies and innovative approaches, especially for agriculture field. Sustainable agriculture stands out for a sustainable future, and the key to sustainable agriculture is smart agriculture with today's data. This study evaluates project results. The project was aimed at the participants to gain awareness about agricultural activities in their region by learning smart agriculture. They were trained through fun and practical activities which show them the importance of studies conducted in this field. The project goal was raising the participants' recognition of the need to use technology for solving the problems they encounter in their environment. This study presents evaluations regarding a project organized within the scope of TUBITAK 4004. Participants consist of 30 students in the 10th grade of state high schools. According to the study’s quantitative findings, although there was a significant increase in students’ overall interest in engineering and STEM, the change in their interest in the fields of science and technology was not statistically significant. An examination of the qualitative findings revealed that students found the educational experience both enjoyable and informative; however, they indicated that improvements were needed in activity durations and time management. These results will guide the design and planning of similar project activities to be carried out in the future
