APPLIED STEM EDUCATION WITH TEACHING AND LEARNING APPROACHES in Lesson Plans

Terms such as multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary and supra-disciplinary have recently started to be spoken more and more with the impact of STEM education. Although our curricula in our country are not suitable for the education of integrated disciplines such as STEM, scientists, teachers and education administrators were caught up in this exciting trend in the world and continued their studies immediately. The main starting point of this book is to give the disciplinary achievements to the students in an integrated, meaningful and effective way instead of separately. The book has been written within the framework of the effectiveness and necessity of STEM education, which is applied by academicians who are experts in the field of STEM with teaching-learning approaches in the field. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction of the scientist who introduced the relevant teaching-learning approach and continues with literature reviews on the relevant teaching-learning approach of STEM education and how both can be used together. These parts, which are mentioned in many chapters in the book, have also been tried to be schematized by the authors. You will understand that every part of the book was written with a different excitement and scientific passion, when you can't put the book in your hands and put it down. The last part that will make students, teachers and academicians addicted to the book is the part where the authors explain the STEM activities they have implemented in detail in the "Lesson Plan" setup. A book has been put forward in which both our teachers and the academic community can clearly see how teaching-learning approaches and disciplines are integrated and product-oriented studies can be done. In this context, the book has a different place from other STEM books. We hope that this book, which we think will open the way for interdisciplinary studies as well as transdisciplinary studies, will be beneficial to the world of science.

Use the power of the integrated disciplines approach!
