▶Objectives
In our project, we aimed to contribute to the creativity and mental development of our students with multiple learning methods. The main objectivs were: - To attract students' attention, keep their motivation and interest by enabling them to use ICT tools. - To make students comprehend the importance of this relationship of museum and art education as the development of knowledge, skills and personality. - To develop students' characteristics such as research, self-confidence, responsibility and cooperation with project-based learning methods. -With STEM education, to enable students create realistic engineering designs by associating realistic life problems with the contents of science, mathematics, technology and engineering fields and to contribute to their problem solving, innovation, critical thinking, scientific literacy and high-level thinking skills. - In line with our goals, with the "Development of Key Competencies", which is one of the horizontal priorities of the Erasmus+ program, it is aimed to equip our students with Basic Competencies in Mathematics, Science and Technology, Digital Competence, Learning to Learn, Cultural Consciousness and Awareness.
▶Activities
We have created a project logo and project teams in each partner school. There were four mobilities for students and teachers to each of the partner schools. For dissemination of the project we designed and produced various products in printing press. More than 100 posters, 500 pens, 500 notebooks, 500 files, 30 badges, 1000 project brochures and 100 certificates were prepared by each school. Zoom meetings were held with the partners. The meetings served to prepare the project, prepare for mobility and evaluate the activities that have already taken place and discuss plans and further activities. Whatsapp gropup were created and used for comunication between coordinators and participants of subsequent mobilities. English corners were prepared at schools. Project website and fecabook page were created and all the activites done were shared there. We reported on all activities that took place during the mobility on our school websites and on our school fan pages in social media and by local media.
▶Impact
The museum and art education which was done in Turkey helped the students to develop their creativity skills. It helped teachers to organise museum activities in connection with the units in the curriculum and reflect museum education to interdisciplinary learning environments.With STEM education in Croatia students had an increase in their ability of analyzing real life problems and gaining entrepreneurship skills.By “involving our parents in the education process,” which is one of the goals of our organisations, our participants who did STEM activities had an increase at learning at home, production, new invention and cooperation studies.In this way, the trio of school-student-family bond contributed to the improved quality of life.After the classes they took on robotics and Web 2.0 tools in Spain,teachers started to use Web 2.0 tools in their classes and also they are able able to integrate these skills into their lessons. Project- based learning in Poland contributed to make the school environment of our participants more enjoyable and interesting.The participants learned different methods to use in their classes.They met with their colleagues from different nationalities in the EU. They improved their communication skills.
