Introducing STEM education: Implications for educating our teachers for the age of innovation

Öz:

Fen, Teknoloji, Mühendislik ve Matematik (FeTeMM) ülkemizin uluslararası ölçekte rekabet gücünün korunabilmesi için stratejik öneme sahiptir. Bu alanlarda uzmanlaşacak insan gücünü yetiştirmesi beklenen öğretmenlerimizin çağın gereklerine uygun şekilde eğitilmedikleri konusunda yoğun eleştiriler vardır. Bu makale ile FeTeMM eğitiminin kuramsal bir çerçeve etrafında tanıtılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak bütünleşik müfredat ve öğretmenlik bilgisi alanlarında ülkemizde ve dünyada yapılmış araştırmalar ile süregelen eğitim reform girişimleri incelenmiştir. Kavramlaştırılan modelin bir çıktısı olan fen ve matematik arasındaki etkileşime yoğunlaşıldığında, öğretmenlerimizin sadece uzman oldukları alanda öğretmenlik bilgisine sahip olmalarının ülkemizin ihtiyacı olan insan gücünü yetiştirmede yeterli olmayacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
