Global climate change is one of the most significant challenges of the twenty first century, requiring its integration into K-12 science education curricula to foster informed and climate-literate citizens. However, challenges remain in effectively teaching climate change, including a lack of instructional materials and a reliance on traditional…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) project refers to experiments conducted to address problems, make improvements, or discover new things in those fields that can be tested using the scientific method. This paper describes a long-term STEM project in which pre-service science teachers (PSSTs) have a chance to discover new…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Flipped Classroom Model (FCM) supported by PBL on sixth grade students' academic achievement, retention of knowledge, and individual innovation competence. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was used in the study. While the…

This study aimed to determine the effect of project-based education on children's early literacy skills. Experimental design with pre-test-post-test control group was used in the research. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 36 children in the experimental (n: 18) and control (n: 18) groups, who attended independent…

This study combines project-based learning with mentorship. Utilizing a sustainable development project (i.e., SEED Bank Project), this study aims to achieve multiple goals. While it attempts to promote pre-service teacher education by assigning pre-service teachers as mentors to high school students, the study critically examines the impact of a…

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the Project-based 6E (engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, extension and evaluation) Learning Model. The researchers created the model by combining the basic features of project-based learning with an understanding of the learning cycle. The pre-test/post-test semi-experimental…

This study investigates the effectiveness of project-based STEAM activities on preschool children's product creation, teamwork, presentation, and engineering skills. The research is based on the technical/scientific/collaborative action research model. In determining the participants of this study, the criterion sampling method was used, one of…

Within the achievements of life science, a course in primary education; students are expected to have knowledge and skills about cultural heritage elements in their immediate surroundings, family cooperation and solidarity, the Turkish flag and the National Anthem, Atatürk's childhood, cooperation and participation in group activities, natural…

This study aims to determine the predictive effect of attitudes toward digital technologies, gender, grade level, and internet usage time on project based virtual learning qualifications (PBVLQ) of secondary school students. The research design is a predictive correlational study. The sample of the research was 703 6th, 7th and 8th grade students…

Effective environmental education can contribute to the preservation of the natural world. It is difficult to give effective environmental education to students who are passive in the lessons. The traditional method of teaching boring too many students, which results in passive learning. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) presents students with a more…

The aim with this study was to examine how, from the teachers' and students' perspectives, the project-based learning approach was applied in science and technology lessons. The research was conducted through a case study with qualitative research methods. The data of the study were obtained from semi-structured interviews with 38 students and 11…

The main purpose of this study was to investigate how special education knowledge and practice can be expanded through mentoring activities. In this respect, an interdisciplinary one-to-many mentorship study with Collaborative Project-based Learning (CPBL) was conducted. The mentors were Special Education faculty members who guided preservice…

Considering the structural similarities between STEM education and architectural education, it is thought that architectural education, which has a deep-rooted history, may be useful for improving STEM education. This research was planned to gain useful inferences for STEM education by trying to get to know architectural education. In this study,…

Critical thinking (CT) is a 21st-century skill critical in education and learning. Second language teaching has focused on language form, and there needs to be a shift from form-focused instruction to a function-focused paradigm, where students simultaneously practice language learning and deal with real-world issues in authentic contexts…

This study aimed to reveal the experiences of science teachers conducting a science fair project for the first time. The research used quantitative data based on an online assessment survey for science fair projects. There are twenty-one questions (one of them is open-ended, the others are Likert type) developed by the researcher. The…
