VKF Koç Private Middle School

Science

The Science Department aims for students to learn, develop skills, attitudes and values in line with The Koç School’s vision, and to raise young people with 21st century skills. It aims to raise individuals who are compatible with the society they live in, who contribute to society; who have developed skills in questioning, communication, cooperation and creativity, and who can use different disciplines effectively.

The Science curriculum aims to provide the following knowledge and skills with a holistic educational approach that puts the student at the center:

Gain a basic science background to integrate life and learning experiences,
Understand the nature of science and technology and the interaction of science, technology, society and environment through Lab activities and experiments,
Gain scientific equipment and perspective through theoretical and practical applications; to be able to develop solutions to problems encountered in daily life with scientific methods,
Acquire the skills of research, inquiry, linking, synthesizing and critical thinking. Science courses, which are structured based on the MoNE Science Curriculum, are conducted under the titles of “Science” and “Science Laboratory”.

Lesson designs are planned to ensure the student's active mental and physical participation in the learning process. The processes of constructing, interpreting and developing knowledge are supported by research-inquiry-based, project and problem-based approaches. Students are expected to take responsibility for their own learning as active learners.

Learning process is supported by various digital platforms to ensure effective use of technology.

The effectiveness of differentiated educational content and teaching approaches is monitored through various assessment and evaluation methods. Participation in national and international exams and projects is encouraged.

Within the scope of Science Festival activities, panels, debates, experiment competitions, science talent competitions, interactive experiments and university-academician collaborations are organized. In this way, students' theoretical and practical scientific background is strengthened. Through panels organized with the participation of experts in their fields, students become aware of the relationship between science, technology, society and environment, and develop their research and critical thinking skills.

Through activities such as World Water Day and World Environment Day, students are encouraged to recognize the human impact on the ecosystem and review their lifestyles.

The activities students carry out within the scope of Science lesson are posted on various platforms. These works are published in EDGE STEAM magazine (a joint product of Science, Mathematics, Science Technologies and Visual Arts departments), in online education portals and electronic booklets.
