International Kalbe-Mer ICT Seagulls Project Steps
Project Steps
School Administration Level:
-
Project
leaders_ leading teacher and the school principal_ apply to Hayal
Köksal to show their interest and commitment to the project. The
school becomes a member school after making the necessary calls
and/or visits.
-
The
school principal, leading teacher(s) and the Coordinator (Dr.
Köksal) sign the protocol.
-
The
school administration support and provide the project teams with the
necessary permissions, technological equipment and place to conduct
the project throughout the academic year.
Project Team level:
The ICT Seagulls Project is conducted through the “İmece
Circles©/Students’ Quality Circles” system based upon the PDCA Mindset
(Plan, Do, Check, Act).
-
Project
topic, concerning ART is determined by all circle members including
parents.
-
After
the determination of the problem area, all the members conduct a
deep “Literature Reviewing” through the Internet and the libraries
in order to get the necessary info about the problem.
-
The
road map of the project is drawn by means of using some quality
tools. At this step, getting help and guidance from Dr. Köksal is
compulsory. The strategic plan should be approved by her before the
project journey starts. If the team starts the project before the
approval, it is disqualified. For, that plan is the key factor for a
healthy project process.
-
By
using quality tools, the main and root causes of the problem are
determined by the whole team. Then, tactics and strategies are
identified. The questionnaire is prepared. Seminars and activities
to solve problems related to “art & art education” are planned.
-
On the
way of using necessary data collection tools, pre- and post-tests
are applied; before, while and after the implementation. The rate of
the success is measured.
-
All the
steps and activities are shared with the community by using either a
web page or a blog.
