PROJECT EVALUATION REPORT

The “I Learn Life Skills Through STEAM” eTwinning Project aimed to enable our 7-11 year old students to integrate knowledge from different fields, produce creative solutions to real-life problems, use digital tools consciously and safely, and develop scientific thinking and inquiry habits, in line with the holistic understanding of the Turkish Maarif Model and global citizenship values. The project adopted an interdisciplinary STEAM approach, bringing together science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.

Skills Acquired Within the Scope of the Project

Literacy Skills

Students' reading and writing skills were improved by encouraging them to construct short and meaningful sentences about STEAM projects, express their thoughts, ask questions, and share their ideas.

They were encouraged to use their imagination by creating their own stories and to internalize fundamental life values.

Their ability to analyze, understand, and think critically about texts was strengthened through 5W1H story evaluation activities.

Mathematical Skills

Their mathematical thinking skills were developed through classification, measurement, pattern creation, and graph preparation activities. Geometric shapes and mathematical relationships were explored through origami activities.

Environmental Awareness and Sustainability

Students learned ways to protect nature by observing changes in their environment and gained awareness of the conscious use of resources.

Environmental awareness was developed by encouraging them to respect plants, animals, and natural habitats.

The vital importance of water was emphasized, creating awareness about resource efficiency and sustainability.

Students became familiar with local and global environmental problems and realized the impact of their individual actions on the environment.

Digital and Technological Skills

They were encouraged to use tablets and computers safely and responsibly.

The fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence and technology were explained in a way that was appropriate for their age level, fostering digital awareness.

Awareness of the responsible use of the internet was created, and digital safety and ethical behavior skills were developed.

Problem Solving and Creativity

Students designed projects using science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics; developing problem-solving and creative thinking skills.

Critical thinking skills were supported by generating solutions to real-life problems.

Interdisciplinary STEAM Applications

Within the scope of the project, STEAM fields were combined with different disciplines such as fairy tales, coding, visual design, intelligence games, artificial intelligence applications, origami, mandala, and civic education to offer multifaceted learning experiences.

Some of the Activities Carried Out:

Nature Love and AI Coloring Activity: Environmental awareness and digital design skills were developed using artificial intelligence tools.

Proverbs and Idioms Visualization and Animation Activity: Abstract concepts were made concrete using the STEAM approach, supporting creative thinking skills.

New Year Greeting Card Activity: Aesthetic expression, fine motor skills, and visual arts skills were developed.

Art Journey with Recycled Yarns: Environmental awareness and creativity are supported by transforming waste materials into artistic products.

Vehicle Design from Recycled Materials: Sustainability, engineering, and problem-solving skills are developed.

Delicious Designs – Life Skills Workshop: Healthy lifestyle habits and creative design skills are supported.

Origami Activities: Hand-eye coordination, attention, patience, and geometric thinking skills are developed.

Collaborative Song and Rhythm Workshop: Teamwork, sense of rhythm, and digital tool use are supported.

Physical Activities and Problem-Solving Exercises: Gross motor skills and analytical thinking skills are developed.

Educational Approaches Used

During the project process, the following approaches were effectively used:

Constructivist learning,

Collaborative learning,

Game-based learning,

Project-based learning,

Digital pedagogy.

Students collaborated with peers from different schools to create joint products, making the learning process fun and memorable through board games, puzzles, and various activities.

Dissemination Activities
