Web 2.0 Tools Supported Innovative Applications in Science Education Based on the Context-Based Learning Approach

Abstract

The research aims to design and develop innovative materials supported by Web 2.0 tools to offer solutions to the problems of science and technology teachers in science education based on a context-based learning approach. For this purpose, the design and development research method were used to test this informative material's design, development, and validity. In the design, students and teachers are considered a common user group. Aside from the literature review, Web 2.0 tool design methods were used in the design process, and the resulting designs were presented. It is considered that innovative materials supported by Web 2.0 tools in science education based on context-based learning practices will enrich science teaching environments and support much more meaningful learning. Innovative technology applications were attempted to be presented to our teachers and students in Science and Technology Teaching using the designs realized within the scope of the research.
