Digital Children’s Right: Human Right Perspective

The utilisation of digital devices and technologies is an integral part of children’s daily lives. Besides the multiple opportunities associated to online environment, like education entertainment and communication, it has also been associated with various risks like grooming and cyber bullying. It is therefore important to assess the level of risk, mediation and digital literacy among children as they form the most vulnerable part of the society.

Bu çalışma, 02-05 Şubat 2012 tarihleri arasında Barcelona[İspanya]’da düzenlenen 4. World Conference on Educational Sciences (WCES)’da bildiri olarak sunulmuştur.The aim of this research is to determine the views and knowledges of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics teacher candidates who are studying non-thesis master's program at Institute of Science about the application of Project-based learning and its implementation in learning environment. In today's world, scientific knowledge is changing and being updated rapidly due to the developments in science and technology. In parallel to this development, Project-based learning approach could be used to teach ways of accessing knowledge instead of transferring knowledge. In order to determine the teacher candidates' views on project-based learning approach, a questionnaire consisting of 28 questions was prepared and teacher candidates were asked to answer the questions. In addition, the teacher candidates were asked to answer three open-ended questions to determine the difficulties encountered during the course, contributions of this course and to indicate the reasons for finding themselves sufficient or insufficient while managing a project related to their subject.Acad World Educ & Res CtrNear E UniversityCyprus Educ Sci AssocationBahçeşehir ÜniverisitesiAnkara ÜniversitesiHacettepe Üniversites
