Abstract:

This study has studied the impact of LEGO-backed STEM activities on high school students’ scientific process skills and their attitudes towards STEM. In the study in which the teaching was carried out with LEGO-backed STEM events on the subject of science 7th class simple machines, the 2015-2016 educational year was 7. There were 25 students at the class level. The events continued for eight weeks. In the research, from experimental methods, the pre-test-final test has been applied a single-group research model. As data collection tools, the "Scientific Process Skills Test" and "STEM Attitude Test" were used. The analysis of the data obtained is described using the SPSS package program. The results of the statistical analysis found that there was a significant difference in the students' scientific process skills (p<,05) and their attitudes to STEM (p<,05) . According to these findings, the realization of LEGO-backed STEM activities in science courses has been achieved as a result of a positive contribution of students to the scientific process skills and their attitudes towards STEM.
