Social and Emotional Skill Development with Play-Based Approach.

<< Objectives >>With this project, we want to combat peer bullying by developing students‘ social emotional skills through game-based learning; We want to increase teacher professional competencies in increasing students’ interest in lessons, active participation in the learning environment, ensuring the permanence and continuity of learning. In addition, we want to contribute to the EU European Green Deal's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 by providing students with green skills.<< Implementation >>In our project, we planned 4 face-to-face LTTA (Learning, Teaching, Training Activity), 1 virtual activity and online teacher and student meeting activities. Within the scope of the project, we will implement Game-Based Learning and Inclusive Education activities for special needs, Design Thinking and Peer Bullying prevention activities, Nature-based educational outdoor games and green skill application activities, Traditional Children's Games, Creative Drama and Orienteering activities.<< Results >>Teachers' professional competencies on how to effectively incorporate social emotional skills acquisition through games intothe school curriculum will be strengthened. As teachers' competencies in using Game Based Learning techniques effectivelyincrease, students' interest and motivation towards the lesson will be ensured. Students' behavioural problems and peer bullying will decrease and there will be a visible concrete improvement in school welfare.
