Children’s University: How Does It Make a Difference?

Last five decades have witnessed the comprehensive growth of science education around the world as the science is regarded as the major tenets of innovation and economic growth. Various extant studies on science education have concentrate on how to deliver and put the science in both curriculum and classrooms. However, there are rarely researches on the evaluation of the science curriculum and its impact on the scientific skills. Likewise, despite the science curricula being implemented from the 2009 onward in Ankara Children’s University, they have not yet been evaluated so far. This is the why it is essential for the evaluation of them due to the changes in the national science curricula and technological developments. This study aims at evaluating to update, change, or reform the science curricula in terms of learning objectives, content, learning activities, and the evaluation. Utilizing the mixed method, the study group was composed of 1,218 participating children and nine science educators. Program evaluation and semi-structured interview forms were developed to collect the data. Then, the QUAN&QUAL data were analyzed by the programs. The findings are as the followings: the curricula meet the expectations of children and help them to learn something new and to develop the skills to use in daily lives. Moreover, the top three things mostly liked are the play-based activities, learning something new and learning further about animals. Science educators have mentioned that children’s sense of curiosity, their active participation, and questions throughout the enactment of the science curricula made them happy.

Mars Explorers: A Science Inquiry-Based Learning Project in Preschool

Inquiry-based science education has become one of the most effective methodologies to learn science; however, proposals in preschool are scarce. Different factors are responsible for this situation, such as the low self-confidence of teachers to teach science and the belief that young children are unable to develop certain reasoning skills. This study reports the implementation of an inquiry-based science project in a preschool setting, in the context of a preservice teacher’s school placement. The project aimed to promote the development of basic and integrated scientific skills, enhance acquisition of conceptual knowledge and make the students enjoy while learning science. The intervention is described thoroughly and illustrated with examples from the real implementation of the theoretical IBSE sequence. At the beginning of the proposal, the students received a hypothetical letter from the astronaut Pedro Duque, in which they were asked for help to plan his trip to living on Mars, a cold planet, with only frozen and saltwater. After some introductory POE (predict, observe, and explain) experiences on the perception of temperature and activities with fresh and saline water, the students performed a piece of research: growing lettuce in four different conditions, combining two variables: temperature and the salinity of water. As the project developed, the students progressively gave better descriptions and justifications, and also showed great interest in performing more “research experiments”. For the preservice teacher, the project provided an excellent opportunity to implement academic knowledge in school practice.

Effectiveness of Outdoor Physics Activities

This paper presents the utilization of outdoor physics activities in the teaching of selected topics in light and optics in order to promote effective transfer of learning in physics and interacting with the environment which is one of the main subjects of the study. The study also looked into the effect of cooperative learning, active learning, use of higher order thinking skills (HOTS), relevance of learning experiences and development of social skills in physics among fourth year high school students in a secondary school in Bacacay, Albay. The researcher developed outdoor physics activities as an instructional intervention and used a single group pretest- posttest design. Qualitative and quantitative techniques were used in the study. The instruments used in data gathering were the teacher- made questionnaire for the features of the outdoor physics activities in optics and results of the pretest- posttest for conceptual understanding and the guide questions for the journal entries of the students. Validation of data was done through triangulation of students’ journal entries, self-rating checklist and experts’ observation. Positive result shows in the conceptual understanding, development of scientific skills, enhancement on the attitude and values and improvement on the social skillsof the students. Further, it is recommended that additional outdoor physics activities be developed for the enrichment of the students’ conceptual understanding as they see their relevance to real life experiences.

Callenges for teaching Georgian language Phonetics in high schools

Significant and important details should be taken into account when planning a Phonetics training course. As you know, the Morphology and Syntax of the Georgian language are taught in small doses at school, and thus, these subjects are somewhat familiar to the entrants. But we can not say the same about "Phonetics". This scientific discipline is a completely new fruit for first-year students of the Philology contingent, which puts lecturers in front of great responsibilities and serious difficulties. Thus, when working out a Phonetics lecture course, we must carefully select the issues that we will provide to students seeking new knowledge, not in terms of learning and mastery, but in terms of assessment and cognition. We hope that the model we have developed will give the freshman the opportunity to think rationally, to choose and to formulate his own position, even to identify/develop a new theory/point of view, and to create his scientific skills.

Pengaruh Ekstrakurikuler Muhadhoroh terhadap Karakter Percaya Diri Peserta Didik dalam Pembelajaran Tematik

The 2013 curriculum applies integrated thematic learning with a scientific approach in elementary schools. One of the scientific skills that must be mastered by students in the scientific approach is communicating. The majority of students still find it difficult to form confident characters to master these skills. Related to this, several schools hold extracurricular activities to help students develop their interests, including helping students to build self-confidence. Extracurricular that can form a confident character is extracurricular muhadhoroh. One of the institutions that implement Muhadhoroh Extracurricular is MI Islamiyah Ngarum Lamongan, This study aims to determine the application of extracurricular muhadhoroh, Knowing the confident character, and Knowing the confident character of grade III, IV and V students in thematic learning through MI Islamiyah Ngarum in the academic year 2020/2021, The results of this study indicate that extracurricular muhadhoroh MI Islamiyah Ngarum is included in the active criteria with a percentage value of 69-78%, the character of the students' confidence In class III, IV and V thematic learning at MI Islamiyah Ngarum, it is included in the confidence criteria with the results of the percentage value of 72-90, the value of r calculated based on the results of research data analysis calculated using the product moment correlation formula, namely When compared with r table, the results obtained r count> r table with a significant level of 5% (>0.5140).
