Bu çalışmanın amacı, mühendislik tasarım temelli STEM etkinliklerinin öğrencilerin deprem konusunu anlamalarına, fen öğrenmeye yönelik motivasyonlarına, STEM’e yönelik tutumlarına ve 21. yy. becerilerine etkisini incelemektir. Açıklayıcı sıralı desene göre düzenlenmiş olan bir karma yöntem araştırması olan çalışma, öntest-sontest tek gruplu deneysel desen ve durum çalışması ile yürütülmüştür. Nicel veriler ilgili ölçme araçlarıyla nitel veriler ise yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ile toplanmıştır. Çalışma grubu birinci derece deprem bölgesinde bulunan Sakarya ilindeki bir devlet ortaokulunda 8. sınıfta öğrenim gören 36 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Mühendislik tasarım süreci doğrultusunda oluşturulan ve 7 modülden oluşan STEM etkinlikleri 7 hafta süresince uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonunda, yapılan etkinliklerin öğrencilerin akademik başarıları, fen öğrenimine yönelik motivasyonları, STEM’e yönelik tutumları ve 21. yy becerilerine olumlu etkileri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Etkinliklerde yer alan sınırlılık ve kriterlerin öğrencilerin 21. yy. becerilerinin gelişiminde önemli bir yere sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

The Effect of Earthquake-Themed Engineering Design-Based STEM Activities on Academic Achievement, Motivation, Attitude towards STEM and 21st Century Skills

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of STEM activities carried out with the engineering design process on students' understanding of earthquake, their motivation towards learning science, their attitudes towards STEM and 21st century skills. In the research, explanatory sequential mixed methods research design was used. The process was carried out with a pretest-posttest single-group experimental design and case study. Quantitative data were collected through relevant measurement tools and qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The study group consists of 36 8th grade students studying in a state secondary school in Sakarya, located in the first degree earthquake zone. STEM activities consisting of 7 modules, created in line with the engineering design process were applied for 7 weeks. At the end of the research, it was determined that the activities carried out had positive effects on students' academic achievement, motivation towards science learning, attitudes towards STEM and 21st century skills. It has been seen that the limitations and criteria in the activities have an important place in the development of students' 21st century skills.
