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 result, 3 STEM-EDP activities were developed in this studywhich areearthquake resistant concrete building design, earthquake resistant wooden building design, and technologies design to prevent buildings from earthquake.Design Based Research (DBR) method was used for the purposeof developing STEM activities since it is a systematic and flexible methodology. Three physics teachers and 18 students were included inthe activities. The studentsare 10thgrade taken from an Anatolian high school and the physics teachers have one to three years of experience.A physics teacher, who is called aninstructor, hasapplied activities to the studentsand the researcher has applied activities to the three physics teachers atdifferent times. During each activity, the students are placed to heterogeneous groups with 6memberswith 2 low, 2 medium and 2 high achievement levels.Implementation of ithe first activity has passed 1200 minutes in 14 days,the secondactivity has passed 670minutes in 11 days and the thirdactivity has passed 460 minutes in 8 days. Semi structured interviews forthe students, the teachers and the instructor,the researcher’sobservation notes,and observation formfor the instructorwere used as data collection tools.As a result of the analysis, the STEM activities were revised and improved.

Fostering prospective mathematics teachers’ conceptions of definite integral in the context of engineering design activities: A design experiment Cansu, Ümmügülsüm; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2021-9-9) The aim of the current study is to investigate the pre-service mathematics teachers’ developments in the concept images about integral through design experiment that was designed engineering design process activities. In this design experiment, a sequence of engineering design process activities was developed, tested, and evaluated in a real classroom environment in two cycles. Data were collected from three pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled and attending an elective course at a public university in...
Development of effective STEM education materials. Tomaç, Cemre; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2019) 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....
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A QUESTION-ANSWER BASED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN THEORY Ataş, Amine Hatun; Yıldırım, Zahide (2017-11-18) The purpose of this study is to document design, development, and implementation of a question-answer based instructional design theory. Sigel and Saunders (1977) state that many studies report the benefits of asking questions and being asked questions as enhancing students' thinking and reflects students' thinking process. The impact of asking question or being asked questions are inevitably influential on learning. As students experience quality questions and questioning, their awareness of learning arise...
The position of three-dimensional modeling and visualization techniques in industrial design education COŞKUN, MERVE; Akiner, Dilem (2012-05-04) The purpose of this research is to determine the position of three-dimensional modeling and digital visualization within the scope of concept and product development process in the undergraduate education in Middle East Technical University Faculty of Architecture Department of Industrial Design, designate the problems that the students encounter during the integration of these methods to the design process, and finally question how these methods can be incorporated into design education in order to influen...
Experience reflection modelling as a generative research method in an educational case for sustainable product design Turhan, Senem; Doğan, Çağla (2014-01-01) A generative research method, namely Experience Reflection Modelling (ERM), has been developed aimed at helping students explore and reflect upon design considerations for sustainability in the idea generation phase of a design process. ERM has been integrated into a product design for sustainability project as part of the design education in the Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. This paper begins by providing an overview of the generative research approach, explaining its...
