Özet
BackgroundThe POLAT Algorithm—comprising Problem identification, Opportunities exploration, Listing necessary materials, Algorithm development, and Transfer and discussion—offers a systematic approach to enhancing interdisciplinary educational practices. This study situates the POLAT Algorithm within the framework of Participatory Action Research (PAR) to evaluate its capacity to foster problem-solving and reflective learning across diverse educational contexts.MethodsUsing a qualitative PAR design, data were collected from teachers (n = 8) and students (n = 44) across preschool to secondary levels. Purposive criterion sampling ensured representativeness, while data adequacy was determined by information power and thematic saturation across iterative PAR cycles. Observations, interviews, and reflective journals were analyzed to assess engagement, problem-solving efficacy, and adaptation to the …
