The aim of this study is to develop STEM Project-Based Learning (STEM PBL) activities for 9th grade level by using ASSURE Model. During the literature research, it was found that there was no systematic material development process in the development of existing STEM PBL activities. To fill this gap in the literature, firstly, the characteristics of STEM activities were determined and ASSURE Model was revised to form these characteristics. Subsequently, with this model, 3 STEM PBL activities were developed. In the literature, it is seen that some steps of the methods of implementing STEM activities in a class are missing. To fill this gap, 10-step STEM PBL activity implementation model was developed by integrating some steps from other models. Research and Development (R & D) method was used in the study. With the iteration process, one of the cornerstones of the R & D method, the second activity was revised with the findings obtained with the implementation of the first activity. Afterwards, with the findings obtained with the implementation of the revised second activity, the third activity was revised. During each activity, one physics teacher and 6 students consisting of 2 low, 2 medium and 2 high achievement level were included. The data collection instruments in the study are semi-structured group interviews with students, semistructured interviews with teacher, and observations made by the researcher in the classroom. Consequently, 3 STEM PBL activities were developed without any problem at the end of the 3 iterations. Lastly, related implications have been proposed.

Implementation of Education for Sustainability in Turkish Pre-Service Teachers' Practicum
Alici, Sule; Alan, Havva Ayça (2022-01-01)
In this study, we explored early childhood education pre-service teachers' (ECEPTs') understanding and pedagogical application of education for sustainability (EfS) by critically analyzing EfS implementation during ECEPTs' practicum. The study examined the challenges and critical aspects of EfS practices in the practicum, and the relationships among mentor teachers, academic mentors, and ECEPTs. A multiple case study methodology was employed involving two purposefully distinct universities with 14 participa...
Integrating STEM Education: Perceived barriers and facilitators
Taşcı, Duygu; Öztekin, Ceren (null; 2017-05-21)
The purpose of this research is to uncover obstacles science teachers face regarding integrating STEM in their science course. Data were mainly gathered from 4 experienced science teachers through in depth interviews. They were also requested to draw a picture of their visualization of STEM and they were asked explain their drawings, data were then analyzed by categorizing barriers avoiding STEM integration. Three categories were emerged as teacher-oriented barriers, students-oriented barriers and situation...
Development of stem activities for high school physics classes
Kartal, Nurgün; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2021-1-06)
The purpose of this study is to develop STEM Engineering Design Process (STEM-EDP) activities for 10th and above grade levels by using an ADDIE instructional design model.When the literature wasreviewed in detail, it was very rareSTEM-EDPactivities which are developed based on systematic models. Therefore, the characteristics of STEM activities were formed bythe basis of ADDIE model. Also, for the implementation processes of the STEM activities, 7-step EDP modelwas used. As a r...
Analysis of a Content-based Needs Assessment Survey for Physics Teachers
OKTAY, Özlem; Eryılmaz, Ali (Hacettepe University, 2020-04-01)
The purpose of the study is to develop and analyze a content-based needs assessment survey for physics teachers. With this aim, a Teacher Survey on the Nature of Physics (TSNOP) was developed as a measurement instrument for the study. The TSNOP was used to identify inservice physics teachers' needs, wishes, expectations and problems for the Nature of Physics (NOP) unit of a Professional Development Program (PDP). A total of 60 inservice physics teachers participated in the study. TSNOP includes four specifi...
Training early childhood teachers for sustainability: towards a "learning experience of a different kind'
Feriver, Sebnem; Teksoz, Gaye (Tuncer); Olgan, Refika; Reid, Alan (Informa UK Limited, 2016-07-01)
In this study, we discuss findings from a small-scale project evaluating an in-service teacher training programme focused on perspective transformation' in early childhood education and education for sustainability (EfS). A bespoke professional development programme was developed for Turkish early childhood teachers, based on a variety of Mezirowian-inspired adult education activities. Data were gathered using a mixed method research design, from 24 early childhood educators, through learning diaries, a Lea...
