dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research was to examine the middle school students’ opinions on an out-of-school learning environment. In this case study, the sample consisted of the participants of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) project named ‘Preparing for future: Looking for Solutions’. The participants were 50 sixth and seventh grade students with disadvantaged, normally developed, and gifted backgrounds. Thirty-five different activities were carried out by 23 different instructors from 8 different universities during the 8-day project. The data were collected via field notes and journals of students and were descriptively analyzed in four main categories named knowledge, skill, sense, and science, engineering, technology, society, and environment. As for the findings, the students claimed that the activities in the project helped them learn new information about science, mathematics, and engineering, and the activities contributed their science processing skills, life skills, and engineering and design skills. They furtherly claimed that they developed positive attitudes towards science, mathematics, technology, and engineering during the implementation of the activities and they were able to establish the relationships among science, engineering, and technology. It was also underlined by the students that involving in such project helped them increase their motivation for learning through product development and competitive feelings. Considering the students’ opinions, it might be stated that the use of product development activities in in-school and out-of-school learning environments will contribute positively to the development of the students’ knowledge and skills. We believed that the findings of this research will guide the future studies that will be carried out in the learning environments outside of the regular school environment. © 2020, Milli Egitim.
