Abstract:<\/strong> STEM education refers\nto a project-based, application-oriented, and interdisciplinary educational\napproach that includes science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)\ndisciplines. The main purpose of this approach is to provide students with an\ninquisitive perspective, to develop the ability to conduct research, to build\nthe capacity to make new inventions, and to gain the skills to produce creative\nsolutions to problems in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEM education offers\nstudents the opportunity to develop the ability to transfer knowledge to\nconcrete life contexts. It also gives them the ability to present innovative\napproaches to real-life problems. In this context, STEM education is of great\nimportance today. The rapid pace of scientific and technological advances,\nchanging economic dynamics, increasing global competition, the emergence of new\nbusiness areas, and the importance of technology-based innovations have\nincreased the demand for STEM education. STEM education contributes to the\ndevelopment of important skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking,\ncreativity, teamwork, communication, and leadership, as well as providing\nstudents with the ability to adapt to future job opportunities and\ntechnological developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEM education can also be\nintegrated with other disciplines and practices. For example, storytelling,\nwhich helps to find more effective solutions to problems by increasing a sense\nof curiosity, can be combined with STEM education. This approach aims to\nincrease students’ interest in scientific, technological, engineering, and\nmathematical subjects and to learn more deeply in these areas. Storytelling can\nhelp students learn using their imagination and apply their knowledge to\nreal-life problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this talk,\nstorytelling-based STEM education and practices will be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/strong>: In the media, previously traditionally and now called new media, there have been transformations under the influence of changes in time, form, content, and ideology. With the transition from traditional media to new media, which are now called, we have become more involved in digital environments. However, the new media technologies \u2013 the internet, mobile broadband, e-commerce, internet-enabled entertainment, social networking, and others – are fundamentally changing the way people interact with the world and with each other. More and more individuals are using digital media tools and platforms with phones being used almost every moment of the day in addition to online chats and blogs. Especially, young people are unconsciously trained with media culture, and the time they spend with the media is increasing day to day. Children exposed to the media for hours a day face an incredible number of media messages every day in the ongoing struggle with media and technology on the individual-society axis, the importance of having a say in social and political issues as active citizens and being able to express oneself in digital environments is increasing. For this reason, media literacy, which is a life skill, appears as a skill that should be maintained throughout life in both formal and informal environments. All these reasons reveal the importance of the conscious use of the media and correct interpretation. This seems to be possible by teaching the skill of media literacy and making it a way of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey. the university where I work is in the eastern part of Turkey and its name is Mu\u015f Alparslan University. My field is social studies education and my PhD namely expertise is related to media literacy and teaching at different grade levels. I have many publications published in different disciplines of social sciences and I have international projects I have carried out. During my PhD, I stayed in the USA for a year on a research scholarship.
I want to do a postdoc.I saw the royal society on its website. I completed my doctorate in December 2018. I have expertise in the fields of social studies education and media studies.<\/p>\n\n\n
