چکیده مقاله |
Biofuel cells are the devices that convert chemical energy of various biofuels in an efficient way into electrical energy through catalytic process of electrochemical reactions. The construction and application of biofuel cell involves many scientific concepts. These concepts are difficult to understand, making the construction and application of biofuel cells attractive for electrochemistry learning. Curriculum planners must consider holistic approaches to instructional design to meet new needs arising from the interests of students, the labor market, and society. One of the new approaches in science education is STEM. In STEM education, the aim is for learners to acquire science and mathematics during the problem-solving process of engineering design. Also, learners acquire skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, collaboration and entrepreneurship in the design process. In STEM-based biofuel cell education, students play a significant role in the teaching and learning process, and due to their participation in solving problems, students' motivation and interest in understanding scientific concepts increases. This has contributed to their participation in learning and solving problems better, as well as increasing academic achievement. In the present study, the design of educational content for biofuel cell education was carried out with the STEM approach, to teach the concepts of electrochemistry in the context of bio-fuel cells. For this purpose, the 5E method in inquiry and the 5-step method in engineering were used. In the design of the content, this issue was emphasized so that with simple and accessible activities, electrochemical concepts related to biofuel cell technology will be taught |
