| Popis: | The idea behind the MUBEM & SAC: STEM based scienceand nature camp was a transformation of scientific knowledge into artifacts usingthe engineering design process and scientific inquiry. The goals of the campwere developing an integrative science perspective in accordance with thenature of STEM education, supporting career choices of participants for STEMfields, experiencing outdoor learning environments and researches with real scientists,internalizing engineering design process by creating artifacts, andcomprehending interaction with nature and science. The participants were sixth and seventhgrades gifted students (Male: 14 and Female: 15). STEMattitude scale, researcher notes, artifact, camp, and activity evaluation formswere used as data collection tools. The several disciplines such as astronomy,archeology, music, and mathematics involved the camp. The participants foundthe opportunity to use telescopes, experience an extensive archaeologicalexcavation, observe the near-nano size object with electron microscopes,construct a bridge like an engineer, and design artifacts like rockets andholograms during the camp. According to results, the science and nature camp supportedparticipants’ STEM attitudes and participants' views on the science and naturecamp were positive. In addition, participants' artifacts were also qualified asSTEM artifacts. |
