Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to develop out-of-school activity modules for 4th grade primary school students by combining R-STEM approach. It was aimed to investigate the opinions of teachers who implemented modules. In the study, case study from qualitative design was used. Research group, which was designed according to a holistic single case design, consisted of 15 primary school teachers working in different countries. The selection of research group was made using appropriate sampling. Within the scope of the study, five courses were held. Data were collected through individual and focus group interview form. Data were processed through content analysis. As a result of research, it was observed that teachers' opinions about the practices were positive. Teachers shared the following opinions about their own experiences; activities were planned taking into account students' grade level and curriculum skills related to STEM fields. Activities were structured with specific design tasks and well-planned teaching process. Teachers said that during the process, students worked like engineers, planned design process, used device to operate own designs, learned the coding. Teachers shared more superficial information at first interview. They shared more technical information about their own implementation process at the end of the each interview.
