A Digital Tool for Teaching Science and Coding in Distance Education
Based on the experiences of science teachers working within our joint organizations and in the sphere of influence in the online training process, problems with a European dimension are found:
Therefore the concrete objectives of the project are:
The project aims to improve the quality and efficiency of online training in the fields of science and coding.
The tools to achieve this are:
These activities include 4 LTTs, 3 TPMs and dissemination activities to be carried out locally.
It is planned to produce two intellectual outputs as a result of the activities to be carried out.
Our first intellectual output is a virtual lab that we will develop to be used in online science education. The virtual laboratory will enable students and teachers to use science tools, robotic materials (sensor, card, etc.) and coding programs at the same time. For example, the teacher who wants to practice “the liquid pressure increases as the depth of the liquid increases” on the pressure of the liquids will be able to perform activities by using the materials of containers, liquid and pressure sensors in a virtual environment. The virtual lab will also provide the opportunity to develop projects to improve problem solving skills. Students will be able to design projects using robotic materials and science tools at the same time and run their project in a virtual environment by coding and observe the results.
Our second idea is the computer game that we will develop to measure the goals targeted in the distance science education process. In the game, questions will be asked about “objectives” and points will be collected if the answers are correct. The game will be played under the teacher’s supervision and results can be obtained immediately. This game will provide a fun and reliable measurement in online science education.
During the course of the project the individual activities and the progress achieved will be reported here.
