Abstract

Araştırma, eğitimin güncel sorunlarından biri olan 21. yüzyıl becerilerinin geliştirilmesine destek sağladığı ve dünyanın ortak gündemi olan sürdürülebilir kalkınma amaçlarına yer verdiği ön görülen, çocukların eğitim sürecinde kullanabilecekleri, bilimsel anlamda gelişimlerine katkı sağlamayı amaçlayan Bilim Çocuk dergisindeki metinlerin, sürdürülebilir kalkınma amaçlarını ne ölçüde desteklediğini belirlemektir. Nitel araştırma deseninin kullanıldığı bu araştırmada veriler doküman incelemesi yolu ile toplanmış, elde edilen veriler, yüzde ve frekans ile tablolaştırılarak yorumlanmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılacak dergilerin seçiminde amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen, 2016-2021 yıllarında yayımlanan 72 sayısı incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre Bilim Çocuk dergisindeki metinlerin %92,59’unun bilgilendirici metin türüne, %7,40’ının hikâye edici metin türüne ait olduğu, dergideki metinlerin; on yedi küresel amaç arasından en çok (n=31) “12. Sorumlu Üretim ve Tüketim”, en az (n=1) “8. İnsana Yakışır İş ve Ekonomik Büyüme” amacıyla ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Dergideki metin türlerinde çeşitliliğe yer verilmesi, sürdürülebilir kalkınma amaçları konusunda farkındalık oluşturması ve kişi ile kurumları harekete geçirmesi bağlamında henüz yer verilmeyen diğer amaçlara da yer verilmesi önerilmektedir.
