Science Teaching
Science is studies events in nature, trying to recognize and explain it. The aim of the science lesson is to cultivate environmentally sensitive individuals who explore, investigate, produce solutions to problems, make logical decisions, open to technological developments, produce new technology, use technology (MEB, 2000). Teaching science is useful in enabling people to know themselves better, as well as being able to describe the events and developments around them (Uzuner, 2018). It is possible to keep up with the current pace of scientific developments through qualified science teaching. Skilled science teaching allows the student to study knowledge in depth, relate it with old knowledge, become aware of responsibility, cooperate with those around him, and strive to overcome the difficulties that arise (Uzuner, 2018). Research and inquiry are at the core of the curriculum of the sciences (Mone, 2018). Together with the transition from traditional teaching management to constructivist approach, project-based learning environments with students at the center of science teaching and promoting cooperation were envisaged (Mone, 2018). The constructivist approach is mainly aimed at the teacher's ability to access and bridge the knowledge with previous knowledge, by preparing appropriate learning environments, so that the teacher can access the knowledge and build bridges with previous knowledge, structuring the knowledge. The science lesson focuses on 3 main skills, namely scientific process skills, life skills, engineering, and design skills (Mone, 2018). It would be appropriate to use time-appropriate, methodological techniques that are engaging, capable of addressing multiple sense organs to gain access to the achievements of the science lesson (Karahan, 2022). When the specific objectives of the science lesson are examined, they have gained basic knowledge in the fields of biology, physics, chemical engineering, are able to explore nature and produce solutions to problems encountered in nature, developed awareness of sustainable development, can solve everyday life problems, have career awareness and entrepreneurial skills, understand scientific knowledge, are curious about the surrounding events, universal ethics It can be considered to educate individuals with moral values who have adopted scientific ethical principles (Mone, 2018).
The basic principles outlined in the science curriculum, the skills desired to be acquired and the specific purposes can only be possible with appropriate educational environments. Instead of continuing to use traditional teaching methods in science teaching, taking advantage of the evolving technological possibilities can contribute more to achieving the objectives in the program. The science lesson collaborates with other disciplines and adopts an active learning approach based on research and inquiry. With the development of computer technology, it can be said that science teaching is more effective, interesting and an environment in which research and inquiry are easier with the Internet environment. Among the many concepts and knowledge that will enable students to produce solutions to problems that may be encountered during their life adventures, the lesson of science from the bar is an important lesson (Erdoğan & Yıldırım, 2023).
