Abstract

Introduction: It is important for students, who are considered a highly vulnerable group in schools against the risk of earthquake disasters, to possess accurate knowledge and appropriate behaviors. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of animation-supported earthquake education provided to 4th grade primary school students on their attitudes toward earthquakes. Methods: A repeated-measures design consisting of pre-test and post-test was used in the study. The sample consisted of 100 fourth-grade students attending a primary school in Turkey, whose parents provided consent for participation. Data were collected using a personal information form and the “Attitude Scale Toward Earthquakes.” Results: It was found that the “Attitude Scale Toward Earthquakes” score in the first month after the education was statistically significantly higher compared to the scores before the education and on the 15th day after the education (p<0.05). Conclusion: The animation-supported earthquake education improved students' attitudes toward earthquakes. Due to their positive effect on the comprehension of knowledge and long-term memory retention, animations can be used as educational materials in disaster education—such as earthquake training—intended for children.

Özet

Giriş: Okullarda deprem felaketi riskine karşı oldukça savunmasız bir grup olarak değerlendirilen öğrencilerin doğru bilgiye ve davranışlara sahip olmaları önemlidir. Amaç: İlköğretim 4. Sınıf öğrencilerine verilen animasyon destekli deprem eğitiminin depreme yönelik tutumlarına etkisini belirlemek. Yöntemler: Çalışmada ön test/son testten oluşan tekrarlı ölçümler deseni kullanılmıştır. Örneklemi Türkiye'deki bir ilköğretim okulunda eğitim gören ve velilerinden onam alınan 100 dördüncü sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu ve “Depreme Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Eğitim sonrası birinci ayda “Depreme Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” puanının eğitim öncesine ve eğitim sonrası 15. güne göre istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuçlar: Animasyon destekli deprem eğitimi öğrencilerin depreme yönelik tutumlarını arttırmıştır. Animasyonlar, bilgiyi anlamlandırma ve bellekte uzun süre tutma konusunda yarattığı olumlu etki nedeniyle, çocuklara verilecek deprem vb. afet eğitimlerinde eğitim materyali olarak kullanılabilir.
