STEAM education is an educational approach that includes the teaching of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in an integrated manner and covers the whole process from pre-school to higher education. With the help of this approach, students learn to use the knowledge they have gathered in lessons in daily life. Thanks to the trainings carried out with STEAM, the information that the students learn become more permanent. Also, with the help of STEAM studies, students love lessons more and understand better. We will have contributed greatly to the achievement of the goal of "lowering the 15% failure rate in the 15 years age group in reading, mathematics and science" which is among the targets of the European Union 2020. In the vision of MEB 2023 prepared by our country, it is also desired to relate activities such as mathematics, science, social and arts with daily life. Art has existed before oral communication tools used by people. Art; It conveys information to people about history, people and nature and communicates with them. The emotions interpreted in the human mind are shaped by matter, sound and words, and a pile of stones turns into a meaningful object; musical notes turn into nice songs; various paints turn into a beautiful painting and gain an artistic interpretation. Thanks to the project, the science in art will become more understandable. Webinar meetings will be held through the e-Twinning portal with the partners in the project prepared. In addition, a Whatsapp group with participants will be organized. Project coordinators selected from the project teams will be added to this group. Thanks to the group to be established, there will be an opportunity to constantly communicate with the partners. There will be regular information on the implementation of the project and the mobility to be carried out. Partners with little project experience will be assisted by WhatsApp groups. For the participants to adapt the destination county and not to have difficulties there, a ‘Country Promotion Meeting’ will be held. In these meetings, information will be given on subjects such as language, living conditions, weather, places to visit and transportation opportunities in the destination country. In this way, we will accelerate the adaptation processes of the participants. - In case of situations such as health or loss of baggage that may occur abroad, all project partners will receive 30 000 Euro travel insurance. - In order to ensure that the participants do not experience any language problems in the destination country, a 60-hour foreign language course will be given. A booklet containing mostly used phrases in daily life in the destination country will be distributed to the participant teachers and students. -Badges will be prepared for each participant student and teacher. In order to prevent problems such as passport loss in countries where mobility activities will occur, the embassies' number will be written on the badges. Within the scope of the mobility, a pre-test and post-test will be applied for the participants. In this way, it will be measured whether each participant has reached the intended goals within the scope of the planned activities. As a result of the tests, the development and evaluation of the mobility will be provided. After the mobility to be organized, school counseling services will observe the progress of the students participating in the project. Following the mobility activities, the participating students’ academic success, social life, and friend relationships will be observed. These observations will be reported. Teachers of each project partner will transfer the achievements they gathered abroad in their country. After the mobility, each project partner teacher will organize a meeting in their country to convey the gains they have made to other school teachers. In this meeting, the gains obtained will be transferred to all school teachers and the project will be made more sustainable. The web page to be prepared in the name of the project will remain accessible for 5 years for the project to develop further and to reach more people. Even after the end of the project, the web page will be updated at regular intervals. This page will guide those who do not have any information and experience about STEAM. The number of visitors to this website will be recorded during this period. Workshops to be held in planned mobility are an important means of gathering and conveying information. STEAM Workshop will be held in all schools, each partner will prepare a project evaluation report and a booklet with pictures and photographs in the countries visited will be made. This booklet will be placed in school libraries. Thanks to this booklet, the results of the project will be used for many years. In addition, the booklet will be sent to students, teachers and parents as an e-book.
STEAM education is an educational approach that involves teaching science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in an integrated way and covers the whole process from pre-school to higher education. Thanks to this approach, students learn how to use the information they learn in lessons in daily life. Thanks to STEAM education, the information that students learn becomes more permanent. Thanks to STEAM studies, students like the lessons more and comprehend them better. We have made a great contribution to achieving the European Union 2020 goals of "Reducing the failure rate in the 15-year-old age group in the fields of reading, mathematics and science to below 15%". In the MEB 2023 vision prepared by our country, important contributions have been made to reconcile activities such as mathematics, science, social and art activities with daily life. In our institutions, mathematics, science, social and artistic activities have become more used in daily life. Art has existed before the verbal means of communication used by humans. Art conveys information about history, humanity and nature to people and communicates with them. Emotions interpreted in the human mind are shaped by matter, sound and words, and a pile of stones turns into a meaningful object, notes into beautiful music, various paints into a beautiful painting and gains an artistic interpretation. Thanks to our project, science in art has been made more understandable. Webinar meetings were held with the partners in the project through the eTwinning portal. In addition, a whatsapp group with participants was established. In this group, project coordinators selected from the project teams were added. Thanks to the established group, it was possible to communicate quickly with the project partners. Regular information was provided on the execution of the project and the mobilities to be carried out. "Country Introduction" meetings were organized for the participants to adapt to the destination country and to avoid difficulties. In these meetings, information was given on the language, living conditions, weather, places to visit, transportation facilities of the country of mobility. In this way, we ensured the adaptation process of the participants and enabled them to get to know new cultures. - With all project partners, travel insurance was provided for each participant in case of health or baggage loss that may occur abroad. - A foreign language training program was prepared so that the participants would not have any language problems in the destination country. A booklet containing sentences to be used in daily life about the language of the country to be visited was prepared and distributed to participating teachers and students. - Name badges were created for each participating student and teacher. In order to prevent problems such as lost passports in the countries where the mobility activity will be organized, the number of the Embassies was written on the name badges. Within the scope of the mobility, pre-test and post-test studies were organized for the participants. In this way, it was measured whether each participant achieved the intended goals within the scope of the planned activities. As a result of the study, the effects of the mobilizations on the participants were measured. After the mobility activities, school guidance services observed the development of the students participating in the project. After the mobility activities, positive developments were observed in the academic achievements, social lives and friendships of the students participating in the mobility. Teachers from each partner country shared their achievements abroad with their fellow teachers in their schools back home. In this way, the effects of the project and new educational methods were brought to our institutions. In this way, it was ensured that the project is sustainable and reaches more people. In order for the project to develop in the longer term and reach more people, a web page was prepared for the project. The website will continue to be updated regularly after the end of the project. This page will be a guide for those who do not have knowledge and experience in STEAM. The number of visitors to this web page is recorded and the number of people who benefited from the project was determined. A STEAM Workshop was organized in all schools, each partner prepared a project evaluation report, and a booklet was created with pictures and photographs from the countries visited within the project. This booklet was left in school libraries and school entrances. The booklet was also sent as an e-book to students, teachers and parents.
