Working in teams or groups encourages students to exchange their opinions, to try to find solutions together or to win a game. In this way, they learn and improve skills such as collaboration and responsibility. Several activities involving the 5E model as part of inquiry-based science education and an escape room as part of game-based learning were used in science classes (chemistry, biology and physics). The activities were designed on three different topics – gases, ecology and electrical circuits – within the project“Diversity in Science towards Social Inclusion – Non-formal Education in Science for Students’ Diversity”. The activities focused on the students’self-concept towards science, interest in the subject, motivation and career aspirations in STEM, as well as the effectiveness of the implemented activities. The study aimed to assess the potential advantages of implementing activities in an ethnically diverse environment, benefiting both students and teachers. Pre-and post-questionnaires were designed and distributed to 190 students from various primary and secondary schools in Macedonia. The present paper provides an overview of game-based activities as well as a brief analysis of the pre-and post-questionnaire responses from students, focusing on the topic of ecology.  \nKeywords: game-based activities, ecology, escape room, ethnically diverse classroom, science education  \n1 Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ss.

Delo v ekipah ali skupinah učence spodbuja, da izmenjujejo svoja mnenja, poskušajo skupaj poiskati rešitve ali zmagati v igri. Tako se učijo in izboljšujejospretnosti, kot sta sodelovanje in odgovornost. Pri pouku naravoslovja (kemije, biologije in fizike) je bilo uporabljenih več dejavnosti, ki sovključevale model 5E kot del na raziskovanju temelječega naravoslovnega izobraževanja in sobo pobega kot del na igri temelječega učenja. Dejavnosti so bile zasnovane na tri različne teme – plini, ekologija inelektrična vezja – v okviru projekta DiSSI (Diversity in Science towards Social Inclusion – Non-formal Education in Science for Students’ Diversity) . Dejavnosti so se osredinjale na samopodobo učencev v odnosudo naravoslovja, ter zanimanje za predmet pri učencih, njihovo motivacijo in poklicne želje na področju STEM ter na učinkovitost izvedenih dejavnosti. Namen študije je bil oceniti potencialne prednosti izvajanjadejavnosti v etnično raznolikem okolju, ki koristijo učencem in učiteljem. Pripravljeni so bili vprašalniki pred izvedbo dejavnosti in po njej; razdeljeni so bili 190 učencem iz različnih osnovnih in srednjih šol v Makedoniji. V tem prispevku sta predstavljena pregled na igri temelječih dejavnosti ter kratka analiza odgovorov učencev pred izpolnitvij","cbCaiiegZ6jRmUuD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiegZ6jRmUuD","pdf",322902,23,"English","# Introduction\n## Game-based and inquiry-based learning approaches\n## Learning outcomes and engagement\n## Critical thinking and problem solving","[{\"question\":\"What learning approaches were used in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used inquiry-based science activities involving the 5E model and game-based learning activities including an escape room in science classes.\"},{\"question\":\"Which topics were the activities designed around?\",\"answer\":\"The activities were designed around gases, ecology, and electrical circuits, with an analysis focus on ecology.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the effectiveness of the activities evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"Pre- and post-questionnaires were administered to 190 students from various primary and secondary schools, and responses were analyzed with attention to motivation and STEM-related aspirations.\"}]","Innovative Learning Activities for Ethnically Diverse Students in Macedonian Science Education | PDF",1792086909,58]
