Project Summary

In our country, in the direction of Basic Primary Education Law all secondary school students have to prepare at least 1 project for a lesson. There are approximately 200 projects are prepared in our school every year.

When the projects prepared by our students assessed by our teachers it is seen that;
Projects are not formed, none of our students know to prepare projects in Accord with the preparing scientific projec steps. Meantime it is seen our teachers are inadequate about guiding our students through their scientific projects. Furthermore content evaluation of the projects prepared by our students shows that, Ministry of Education’s Project studies efforts which target students develope mental abilities and carry out scientific products are inadequate on expected gains.

As Ali ÇETİNKAYA Secondary School we want our students and teachers be included in a preparing scientific project process. In this process they will find out methods and techniques for preparing scientific projects in cooperating with transnational partners learning by doing and living. Thus they will have experience in science field. With in our project 63 students and 15 teachers from three countries will directly take part through project processes.

With our project we aim;
1. Encouraging 5 branch teachers of us to prepare scientific project in cooperation with their transnational collegues in 7 months.
2.Our teachers share good practices with their collegues.
3.Our teachers experience scientific research process by living themselves.
4.Our teachers develope their occupational skills for guiding more effectively their students through preparing scientific projects processes.
5 .Our students have the experiment preparing a scientific project in cooperation with transnational students.
6.Our students meet role model studies on science field via the project exhibition and project contest we will organise.
7.Our students have an education period in which they will learn preparing scientific project and gain besic skills on science via learning by doing an living, peer education and sharing good practices methods.

We are planning to carry out our project with Poland and Latvia because we believe to have top-level experiment sharing with them.

We want to provide a productive education period for our students in which they will share good practices and experiments, gain basic skills on science, encourage them to problem-based learning and prepare scientific projects in cooperation with transnational partnership.
We aim our teachers develope their occupational skills on scientific project guidance by interaction with European teachers, make use of their collegues’ experiments via our project.

We want to carry out this project with our transnational partners to realize our drawbacks on scientific projects, correct our faults by the help of different countries’ students and teachers, know EU’s values, make our students have positive behaviour towards these values, and the most important is CHANGING GOOD PRACTICES and EXPERİMENTS.

We are planning to use all methods and techniques included in constructivist education system during project. Besides,we want to provide scientific projects in Accord with our students’ need and by student-centered teaching methods we want to impress not only our 21 students directly take part in prject but also all our school’s students somehow take part indirectly as well. At the same time we aim to share positive effects of the project primarily locally and then nationally and internationally via our multiplier activities.
