Özet:

 

Nowadays, the use of Information Technologies in almost every field, especially in the field of education is increasing rapidly and gaining importance day by day. Within the scope of educational technologies in the field of education, studies are carried out for the functional use of information technologies. One of these study types is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) interdisciplinary education approach. It is seen that the subjects in the structure and content of the science course will be applied with STEM interdisciplinary education approach in a way to handle the subjects of different disciplines when the literature is searched. In this study, it is aimed to realize an instructional design and application to gain science lesson target acquisition with STEM interdisciplinary education approach. The target acquisition for this purpose was selected as ‘Its will be able to explain the factors which affect the growth and the development in plants and animals’. Within the scope of this acquisition, students were provided to produce the arduino based experiment set themselves, and their process and results were evaluated. In this context, the sample of study was chosen by random sample selection method with 36 students who are taking science lesson at 7th grade, 18 experimental group and 18 control group. Coding and Arduino training was given to the experimental group and they were asked to produce experimental set themselves. The effects of teaching of application towards the achievement goal were evaluated in terms of academic achievement by using pretest and posttest. As a result of study, it was seen that the experimental group of students were more successful in terms of academic achievement, achievement target disscused in the research.
