ANALYSIS RESULTS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT COUNTRIESâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ATTITUDES TOWARDS SCIENCE

Today, economic, social, scientific and technological developments changes and has a significant impact on people's lifestyles. These developments and changes will continue to effect people's lives in the future. Because of the increasingly developments in science and technology, training of students in science and technology attitudes has become a necessity. So every country give more importance to grow students who has critical thinking, problem solving and decision-making, inquiry and life long learning skills, which is necessary for science about the pozitive attitudes.

About

It has been proven by many researches that teaching science with the traditional methods is not an effective way in today’s world. However, it’s quite difficult to have the right conditions to apply to an active learning process while the students, teachers and the school boards are used to traditional methods. Due to this reason, a project was developed by nine different institutions, and applied to the European Union Life Long Learning Programme, Leonardo Da Vinci Sub-programme for the financial support. Finally, the project was supported by this programme and called ‘Creating active learning material for science educators of vocational education’ (project number: 2010-1-TR1-LEO04-15846 1). The project was performed from August 2010 to August 2012. There were nine different institutions on the project. In this study, it was aimed to explain and discuss the performed works during the project process.
