Abstract

Since the pandemic situation, there has been a need for enacting student-centered teaching activities to make distance education more effective. "Informal Learning Environments" activities are suitable opportunities to meet this need and positively affect students in many aspects. The use of "Virtual Informal Environments" (VIE) is important during the pandemic situation in this case. The purpose of this research is to examine the teaching processes of teachers using VIEs during the pandemic situation and to make general judgements in the context of teaching processes using VIEs according to their status of taking or not taking courses on teaching in informal environments. In the study, the descriptive research method was used. The study group of the research consists of 93 teachers and it was determined by using the "Easy Access Sampling" method. Eight open-ended question forms were applied to the participants. The data were evaluated with the Content Analysis Method. The results showed that the informal science education (ISE) course-taken teachers used VIEs more consciously than the non-course-taken participants. By focusing on the achievements in the curriculum, teachers planned to use VIEs and integrate these environments into their lessons by adopting a student-centered approach. In the evaluation studies after the teaching activities using VIEs, it was concluded that they tend to evaluate the achievements, not the learning process.

Abstract

This study, it is aimed to determine the effect of scientific events in shopping malls on children's interactions and learning. Thirty-three children selected by purposive sampling method were carried out by participating in scientific events in a shopping mall, one of the informal learning environments of a big city. Data were collected through interviews before the scientific event session, observations and drawings during the scientific event session, and open-ended questions after the scientific event session. Content and frequency analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Before the events, the children participating in the study had deficiencies and misconceptions in scientific knowledge, but a significant increase was observed in their scientific knowledge at the end of the event. In the science event children learned by doing and experiencing (hands-on) and they had no difficulty in expressing their knowledge. In addition, it was observed that those who do not know each other got along very quickly with other children during the event. Helping and sharing with their friends who have difficulties in handicraft skills is the clue that they contribute to the development of their social skills. It also showed that children not only learn from a teacher but also learn from their peers. Expressing that they have fun and enjoy the science events can be shown as proof that children have a good time. After the scientific events, they emphasized that the children want to participate in such events again because this environment including different activities was found so colorful and not boring by children. If families bring their children to these types of scientific events in the shopping mall, that will contribute to children’s school academic achievement and help them socialize. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that the number of such science events should increase in shopping malls and the permanence of children's learning can also be searched.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of out-of-school learning environments (İzmir Natural Life Park) on the development of secondary school 7th-grade students' mental models about tropical environments and their academic achievement. The research was carried out with the participation of 57 students studying in the 7th grade at a public school in Izmir. During the discovery phase of the lesson plans prepared under the 4E teaching model, lessons were taught under the conservative curriculum with the control group (27), and a visit to the Izmir Natural Life Park Tropical Center was made with the experimental group (30). To compare the mental model developments and academic achievements of the experimental and control groups, the Achievement test consisting of twelve multiple-choice questions with drawings before and after the research was applied in the study conducted in a mixed design. In addition, an interview form consisting of five open-ended questions was given to the experimental group to get their opinions after the trip. The data obtained from the Achievement Test were subjected to independent groups t-test and it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. This result proves that out-of-school learning environments are used in a planned way, they positively affect students' learning and increase their academic success. The preliminary and final drawings of the mental model and their explanations were analyzed under the guidance of the ‘Development Level Evaluation Table’ determined by the researchers. Accordingly, it is seen that students' perspectives and perceptions about the tropical ecosystem develop after the application. In particular, it is seen that the explanations and drawings of the experimental group are customized, the diversity of life is deepened specific to tropical environments, and the connections are elaborated. In the interview questions applied after the trip, the students stated that they contributed to their learning by observing, experiencing, and enjoying the tropical environment during their visit.
