Fen Derslerinde Teknoloji Kullanımı Becerilerinin Artırılması
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In the 21 century, technology is an important part of educational activities. In Turkey tablet computers are distributed to high school students and teachers in order to make them use the technology actively in education. According to Europe 2020 Strategy, more investment in education, innovation and technology is highlighted. Therefore, teachers need to improve their professional capacity in order to use technology in their lessons. Technology should be used widely in science lessons and innovative and creative methods should be learned in science high schools. In Education and Training 2020 Strategy, improving the quality and efficiency of education and training and enhancing creativity and innovation in each level of education are also emphasized. As a Science High School, our project aims to; -improve technology usage skills of teaching staff in science lessons, -help students to prepare national and international science projects and and assess these projects -contribute to local community by organizing national and international science events. In order to reach these aims our 20 staff will attend 4 different courses. 1. In "Video Production in Science Classroom" course, staff will improve these skills: classroom management in science lessons, sound lesson preparation, inclusion of different learning methods, research and project work in the science classroom and the acquisition of technical skills, competence and confidence with the use of the video camera in the classroom. 2. In "Earth Day in Science Education" course, staff will learn to teacher environment protection, use alternative media and technology in their lessons, and adopt natural and alternative energy resources and recycling in their lessons. 3. In "Interactive Science Events in Schools" course, staff will learn to plan and organize different science events to share the experiences and knowledge they gain abroad, help students to share science and contribute to local public. They will also learn to disseminate and exploit resources. 4. In "VISConti- Model for Assessment of Science Projects" course, staff will learn the assessment of project work of students in science related subjects. This assessment model was developed by Science Education European Platform (SEEP) and they will guide students to prepare TÜBİTAK projects and other international science projects. Staff development will be assessed by using pretest and post-test. The staff will write a report after the course and prepare a presentation and disseminate the course content at school and share them with other teachers. All course content and presentations will be published on school web page for dissemination. Teachers who attended at "VISConti- Model for Assessment of Science Projects" course will give lectures on preparing science projects to students and motivate them to apply for national and international science projects. Moreover, they will prepare projects for Erasmus+ program and TÜBİTAK with students. Teachers who attended at "Interactive Science Events in Schools" course will start to organize science events with the contribution of Akdeniz University and share project outputs for dissemination in the national level.
