Using STEM applications for supporting integrated teaching knowledge of pre-service science teachers. Evaluation of STEM applications based on science education in preschool education in terms of students, teachers and parents. The findings of the study are discussed in line with the related literature and suggestions were given.Īkgündüz, D., & Akpınar, B. Moreover, they mentioned the positive effects of this intervenion on them such as being happy, increasing motivation, providing professional development. Although they have a few difficulties in using Algodoo software, they were aware of the contribution of Algodoo simulations to students, teachers and STEM education.
ALGODOO HUMAN SOFTWARE
According to the findings, pre-service teachers were planning to use Algodoo software in STEM activity mostly in elaborate stage and on physics topics. Algodoo based STEM activity plans were examined by two researchers and evaluated according to the STEM activity plan evaluation rubric. Interviews were analysed through using descriptive and content analysis techniques together. The data were obtained from STEM activity plan, STEM activity plan evaluation rubric, and semi-structured interviews. An intervention was performed to inform pre-service science teachers about Algodoo based STEM education during three weeks.
The participants were 30 pre-service science teachers who were fourth grade in a medium-size state university in Turkey. Accordingly, case study method was utilized in the study. The aims of the study were to understand the pre-service science teachers’ experiences about Algodoo Based STEM Education, to define views about it and, to emerge its influences on pre-service science teachers.
