5 Projects of the Faculty of Education Supported by TUBITAK

Faculty of Education students participated in the program with their advisors and 5 projects were entitled to receive support from TUBITAK. In the Social Studies Teaching Department, their advisors were Dr. Kudret Aykırı and students Gülay Almalı's 'No Stem for Social Studies Lesson' and Şeyma Balın's 'Time to Communicate Together (B.İ.Z.)' projects received support.

Faculty of Education Science Teacher Emine Deniz and her advisor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Esra Uçak's project '7th Grade Students Meet with Science Cafes, One of the Out-of-School Learning Environments in Science Class', Asya Tilbe Gündüz from English Language Teaching and her advisor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Devrim Höl from English Language Teaching, 'Using Artificial Intelligence in Teaching English as a Foreign Language', Ceren Can from Preschool Teaching and her advisor, Assoc. Assist. Prof. Dr. Ahmet Erol's 'Small Children's Big Solutions to Environmental Problems: Children's Nature-Based Stem Education Experiences' were the other projects that received support.

The projects supported by TUBITAK and their aims are briefly as follows:

Small Children's Big Solutions to Environmental Problems: Children's Nature-Based STEM Education Experiences

In this study, solutions to environmental problems that young children are aware of will be sought through STEM education. Within the scope of the study, children will have nature-based STEM experiences for eight weeks. In the process, the focus will be on children's generating solutions to the environmental problems they encounter and are curious about through the engineering design process.

Time to Communicate Together (WE)

The aim of this study is to examine the opinions of seventh grade middle school students about the activities based on Gypsy (Roma) culture in a public middle school where Roma students are concentrated.

No STEM for Social Studies!

The aim of this study is to determine the views of fourth grade primary school students on STEM activities in Social Studies course.

Using Artificial Intelligence in Teaching English as a Foreign Language

The aim of the project is to map the studies on the use of artificial intelligence in English language teaching and the patterns of these studies. This research aims to reveal the studies on the use of artificial intelligence in English language teaching in the world, which are available in the world's largest databases. This research is important in terms of documenting and examining the studies that combine artificial intelligence and foreign language teaching in today's world where technology increasingly meets education.

7th Grade Students Meet with Science Cafes, One of the Out-of-School Learning Environments in Science Class

To create a scientific conversation environment by mediating the meeting of scientists and students in out-of-school learning environments.
