Abstract

Bu çalışma, 7.sınıf fen bilimleri dersinde yer alan “İnsan ve Çevre” ünitesinin, sınıf dışı öğretim yaklaşımıyla ele alınması ile öğrencilerin çevre okuryazarlıklarının gelişimine ilişkin yansımaları ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada niteliksel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılmış olup “İnsan ve Çevre” ünitesinin sınıf dışı öğretimi gerçekleştirilirken öğrencilerin süreç boyunca nasıl etkilendiklerini, hangi kazanımları elde ettiklerini derinlemesine incelemek için durum çalışması deseni tercih edilmiştir. Veri toplama araçları öğrenci yansıtma yazıları, gözlemci formları, video çekimleri ve görüşmeler olup toplanan veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Verileri yorumlamada, çevre okuryazarlığının bileşenlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, öğrencilerin sınıf dışı öğretim süreci boyunca çevreci görüşlere eğilim duyma ve empati duygusunun gelişmesi başta olmak üzere pek çok kazanıma sahip olduklarını; hatta bunların yanı sıra özgüven gelişimi, iletişim becerileri gibi kişisel ve sosyal anlamda birtakım kazanımlara da eriştiklerini göstermiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, sınıf dışı öğretimin yararını pek çok açıdan ortaya koymaktadır; bu anlamda mevcut öğretim programlarına alternatif sınıf dışı öğretim programlarının geliştirilmesi, uygun koşullarda, uygulayıcılar tarafından yürütülmesinin sağlanması önerilmektedir.

IMPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL LITERACY OF STUDENTS WITH OUTDOOR EDUCATION: 7TH GRADE SCIENCE COURSE "HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENT" UNIT

Year 2020, Volume: 20 Issue: 4, 1834 - 1852, 15.12.2020
https://doi.org/10.17240/aibuefd.2020.20.58249-816405

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the reflections on students’ development of environmental literacy by taking the “Human and Environment” unit in the 7th grade science course with an outdoor teaching approach. Qualitative research methods were used in the study, and the case study design was preferred to examine how students were affected during the process and what gains they achieved while learning the “Human and Environment” unit outside the classroom. Data collection tools were student reflection papers, observer forms, videos and interviews, and the collected data were analysed by using content analysis. Components of environmental literacy were used to interpret the data. The findings of the research showed that students had positive gains in the development of environmentalist views and empathy throughout outdoor learning process. In addition to these, findings also showed that they had attained some personal and social gains such as self-confidence development and communication skills. Research results reveal the usefulness of outdoor teaching in many ways. In this sense, it is recommended to develop alternative outdoor education programs for existing curriculum and to ensure that they are carried out by practitioners under appropriate conditions.
