    Implementing STEAM Activities with Biology Teachers in the Context of Ecology
    (Univ Granada, Fac Ciencias Educacion, 2025) Aydin, Ganime; Tezcan, Gamze; Yalcin, Fehime Sevil
    This study investigates the impact of ecology-based STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) activities on biology teachers' ecological citizenship, STEAM awareness, and attitudes toward art education. Designed as a convergent parallel mixed-methods study, it involved 26 inservice biology teachers from diverse regions in T & uuml;rkiye. Quantitative data were collected using three validated instruments: the Ecological Citizenship Scale, the STEM Awareness Scale for Secondary School Teachers, and the Attitude Toward Art Education Scale, applied as pre- and post-tests. Qualitative data was obtained through teachers' daily reflections, focus group interviews, and lesson plans developed during the training.The results showed significant improvements in teachers' ecological citizenship, STEM awareness, and attitudes toward art education. Teachers appreciated the interdisciplinary nature and classroom applicability of the 26 STEAM activities conducted over six days. While participants expressed high motivation to integrate STEAM practices, some lesson plans revealed insufficient interdisciplinary alignment, particularly in incorporating engineering, mathematics, and technology components. The findings highlight the potential of STEAM-based professional development to support both environmental awareness and pedagogical growth. However, the study also underscores the need for ongoing support in curriculum literacy and integrated instructional design to ensure the effective adoption of STEAM approaches in science education.

    Science Education in Museums with Preservice Science Teachers: Discovering the Power of Science in Museums
    (Lumen Publishing House, 2025) Surmeli, Hikmet; Aydin, Ganime; Kaplan, Aysun Oztuna; Melen, Mehpare Saka
    Museums, often described as cultural repositories, provide unique environments that help individuals connect the past, present, and future to understand their culture better. Beyond their cultural significance, museums serve as valuable educational spaces where teachers can enhance their scientific knowledge, develop pedagogical skills, and design meaningful learning experiences. Based on the idea that every object in a museum can serve as a teaching tool, the project Exploring the Power of Science in Museums, supported by the T & Uuml;B & Idot;TAK 2237-A Scientific Education Activities Support Program, was implemented to enable pre-service science teachers to establish meaningful connections between artifacts displayed in archaeology and maritime museums and science concepts. A qualitative research design was employed in this study. Data were collected through worksheets, lesson plans, and observation forms. The findings revealed that allpre-service teachers'perspectives on museums changed positively; most could associate museum objects with science subjects and recognized the potential of museums as dynamic environments for science education.
