The research was carried out through a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. The data of the study were obtained from semi-structured interviews with 24 students' parents. As a result of the research, it was understood that the parents of the students saw the project as a study aimed at increasing the students' hand skills, thinking skills, and productivity to prepare something new. As a result, it was seen that after the project assignment was given by the teachers, the parents were involved in the process to help their children complete the projects. At the end of the process of doing the project assignments, it was concluded that the parents received informal training, both in oneon-one interviews with the parents who helped their children and in the observations made during the project exhibitions at the school. This situation was important in terms of the informal education of parents. It was also determined that the parents helped their children during the setup and presentation of the project and that they wanted to complete it when wrong or incomplete explanations were made. It was observed that as the contribution of the parents increased during the completion of the projects, the role of the students in the projects decreased and they did not take responsibility. It was concluded that the students thought of family aids as a tool to achieve higher academic success than the project assignments, and therefore the homework deviated from its purpose.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Project-based learning (PBL), student-parent views, qualitative analysis, science education, secondary school. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author: E-mail: [ismailk@trakya.edu.tr.

As can be understood from the definition, science education is the effort to understand, interpret, apply and benefit from the facts, concepts, principles, laws, and theories of nature in daily life. One of the most important purposes of science teaching is to enable students to use the scientific knowledge they have learned in daily life. As a result, individuals make their lives easier by applying this knowledge to their daily lives (İşman et al. , 2002) . Science education aims to increase people's understanding of science and the construction of  \nknowledge, as well as to promote scientific literacy and responsible citizenship to nature (Timonen, 2020) . Science education helps us make sense of the world. While systematically making sense of the events, changes, and substances occurring in our environment, also enables us to know ourselves (Yüzüak and Zihni, 2022) . Today, science lessons and the approach, teaching method, and technique used in these lessons are of great importance for individuals to find creative solutions to the problems they encounter in their lives (Keser, 2008) . Especially, it is seen that the projectbased learning approach (PBL) is viable in science  \nKiliç and Özel 191  \nlessons for this purpose (Kılıç and Özel, 2014) . PBL is the use of a real-world problem or situation as a context for learning (Byoungho-Jun 2021) . This approach, which does not only focus on the product in science education, also ensures that the deficiencies in the cl","cbCaij9HbLg0an3p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij9HbLg0an3p","pdf",202639,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Purpose and scope of science education\n## Project-based learning approach (PBL)\n## Role of scaffolding and social support","[{\"question\":\"What was the focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examined parents’ views on how applicable the project-based learning (PBL) approach is in science and technology courses.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and what data were used?\",\"answer\":\"A case study design was used.
