Introduction of Activity;
The Group: Ten girls-ten boys/4-5 years/Twenty students and two teachers
Activity: Near environment - nature trip
1st Application Process: The children are let to explore the environment. They are encouraged to examine the natural waste materials (in terms of structure,shape,weight etc…) and their ideas about the materials are taken down.
The teacher only informs the children about that they will make acitivities with the natural materials and leave them free with the timing. Collected materials would be classified within 3-4 stations depending on the classroom conditions.
The children are led to think for a while by the question what they would do with the materials. At the end of the period the children are free to choose any type and quantity of the material and they are informed about that they would create any type of goods they want. And the teachers encourage their active roling within the period. The outputs are analysed individually and filed by photos at the end of the period.
2nd Application Process: Following the visit of our institiution to the collaborate institution for the observing the process, our collegues would present the Project subject by a meeting. At the end of this meeting, the methods and the practice about the nature/environment, creativity of the teachers and the communication differences would be observed and noted down.
The pictures of the individual studies would be shown to the children of the collaborative institution. And the children would gain perspective to the natural materials at the end of the presentation. After that, a bulletin board (2m x 1m) would be prepared to let the children attach their own products made of natural raw materials. The individual products would be exhebited and archieved.
3rd Application Process: When the application process of the Project with the collaborate institution is finished, all the process would be re-considered in terms of problems, as done usually with the students in our own institution. After that, a bulletin board (2m x 1m) would be prepared to let the children attach their own products made of natural raw materials. The finished products would be archived and showed to the children to make sure that they gain perspective.
The methodolgy: Survey, Form, Brain-storming, Question-Answer, Presentation techiques and methods are used throughout the Project.
Foreseen results and effects: The students and the adults are let to give meaning to and respect the concept of nature/environment and creativity
Possible benefits within long term; To get attention and sensitivity of different groups of people by spreading the idea.
