Project Summary

Technology has become an indispensable part of our lives. It takes place in every activity of daily life. We live in a digital age and technology is everywhere. The importance of coding that is known for the milestone of this digital age is increasing day by day and all children must be challenged for them to reach their highest academic potential within this technological environment. Regardless of their social background, and with a high level of well-being. During the school day, we have to find time and opportunities for practical and application-oriented forms of teaching that promote innovation. Many countries in the world have noticed certain significant abilities such as analytic thinking, critical thinking, problem-solving, design thinking. In this way, a new education system promoting coding training, robotic studies, STEM education in early childhood is adopted and rearranged accordingly. Thanks to coding in early childhood, it is believed that children’s algorithmic thinking ability, creative thinking, and problem-solving abilities will improve. Because of these reasons and personal development opportunities, coding and robotic studies have become essential parts in childhood education rather than being simply as a profession. STEM education which is one the most important paradigms in the 21st century is of high significance in the way of putting the theory into practice and gaining contemporary skills. It is aimed at raising modernized creative leaders and growing economically. Integration of STEM in national education will enable to rising a new generation with creative, productive and modern skills. In line with these developments in the world, it is aimed at providing students with certain qualifications and skills such as self-confidence, analytic thinking, critical thinking, problem-solving, design thinking, and productivity, thereby sharing the best examples of the related studies with the project partners. We realized that we were all looking for further opportunities for cooperative researches in innovative teaching methods. In particular, we were, and are, interested in the recent innovative development in the use of technology in teaching and we are eager to learn more about it. Some of the goals reached the end of the project.
Teachers:
• Been motivated in lifelong learning and enrich their professional experience with new teaching methods
• New competencies as a result of the training course and apply new methods thus increasing the quality of education and training;
• Have a better co-operation with students, thus leading to a better understanding of their personalities and desires.
Students:
• Learned about how to work in a team and how to manage difficulties and how to become more tolerant and cooperative and being
able to take initiatives.
• Acquire new competencies in field learning and logical thinking.
• Developed their ICT skills through the use of these modern technologies.
• Know how to take the next best step in problem solving and life.
It is also aimed at changing our project into an e-Twinning project, thus enabling to coding, robotics and STEM become widespread.
