The S.M.A.R.T. school - Using TRIZ, LEAN and AGILE techniques to teach and learn

"<< Background >>We applied for this project to train our students according to the future world's needs.Youth has to develop their thinking critical skills.They need to learn brainstorming in group works.We have defined our needs and understood that our needs are covered by the the triz methodogy.According to TRIZ, universal principles of creativity form the basis of innovation. TRIZ identifies and codifies these principles, and uses them to make the creative process more predictable.In other words, whatever problem they are facing, somebody, somewhere, have already solved it. Creative problem solving involves finding that solution and adapting it to your problem.Our schhols needs were promoting interest and excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and the STEAM approach and during project activities we had combined this skills with triz , agile ,lean methology.Participants were faced yo challenges that they had to think critical and found unexpected solutions.While they had been doing these , they have developed their key competences with digital content, technologies.<< Objectives >>During the project process, we want to achieve critical thinking skills of participants.So contact people had focused on activities on Generalizing Problems and Solutions , Eliminating Contradictions. Participants learned triz, agile, lean methodolgy and basic steps during mobilities. These four basic steps were ;*We achieved to teach them defining their specific problems. We forced them to take the specific problem that they faced and generalized it to one of the TRIZ general problems. From the TRIZ general problems, they learnt to identify the general TRIZ solution they need, and then considered how they could apply it to their specific problems.*They are given some situations and challenges to teach them to find the TRIZ generalized problem that matched it.*Firstly they learnt working in group. They learnt using brainstorming to think different. They they found the generalized solution that solved the generalized problem.*At the end of the project mobilities , they developed to adapting the generalized solution to solve their specific problem.<< Implementation >>Our first activity was online meeting with managers and project contact people. We have talked about our project and decided first mobility dates and activities together. Each school has opened smart clubs in their school after had announced the project.Then we held our first Learning/Teaching/Training mobility which is “Our brain toolbox - A gentle introduction” in Benevento ,Italy , with 6 teachers and 15 students.We had training to get acquainted with Smart School and Triz-Lean-Agile Methology with brainstorming .Our second mobility was held in Izmir Turkey with 5 teachers and 12 students.(Because of the earthquake) Here participants had learnt Triz matrix and 40 principles with some duties in activites.Our last mobility was held in Bulgaria to develop smart solutions in groupworks by using new methodologies taht they had learnt.Our last activity was on 23-24 March 2023 as online TPM.We evaluated the activities and course of our project,LTT activities,the course of the project's budget and dissemination activities and the extent to which we achieved the results we expected were evaluated.Partners had shared the files and photos with coordinator for final report. << Results >>The most important tangible outputs of our project are project logo,website,blog ""Smart"",eTwinning project,brochures,promotion items,e-book describing the project and activities.Our logo was chosen by voting among the logos designed by our students,considering its originality and compatibility with the main idea of our project.Our website has been designed in accordance with the purpose of disseminating Triz Methodology and the activities of our project.Our e-book,in which we describe our project and activities in English,is another concrete output.eTwinning project,in which we included new participants as well as our project partners and aimed to ensure the permanence and sustainability of the effects of our project,started its activities after the official end of our project.We aimed to make our project known with the promotional products we designed.We aimed to create more impact on social media with the short film in which it has project activities.Our Facebook,instagram and youtube channel are our other tangible output tools.In addition to these,we have objectified the results of our project on our participants,which we expected,through the surveys we conducted."
