Abstract

It has been aimed to compare the environmental attitudes of teachers and teacher candidates and to present the importance of environmental education in teacher training. The sample of the research includes 605 final year students attending undergraduate programs of pre-school education and child development education in the universities of Konya, Ankara, Afyon, and Denizli provinces during 2008-2009 academic year and 300 pre-school teachers attending National Education Ministry In-service Training Programs conducted in Yalova, Aksaray and Rize provinces during 2008-2009 academic year. "Environmental Attitude Scale" has been used as the data collection tool. According to t-test and MANOVA results, it has been determined that teacher candidates got higher scores than pre-school teachers in terms of the total results of environmental attitude scale, and particularly the sub-factors "Importance of Field Trips in Environmental Education" and "Environmental Conservation Activities". Also, it has been stated that the difference between the scores of teachers and teacher candidates taken from the sub-factors "Requirement of Education for Environmental Problems" and "Environmental Pollution and Conservation" is not significant. In the light of the findings, researchers and practitioners have been provided with suggestions.

Özet

Araştırmada, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin ve öğretmen adaylarının çevresel tutumlarını karşılaştırmak ve okul öncesi öğretmen yetiştirmede çevre eğitiminin önemini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2008-2009 öğretim yılında Ankara, Afyon, Denizli ve Konya illerindeki üniversitelerin okul öncesi eğitim ve çocuk gelişimi eğitimi lisans programlarına devam eden 605 son sınıf öğrencisi ile 2008-2009 öğretim yılında Yalova, Aksaray ve Rize illerinde gerçekleştirilen MEB Hizmet İçi Eğitim Programlarına Türkiye' nin farklı illerinden katılan toplam 300 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak "Çevresel Tutum Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada t-testi ve Manova sonuçlarına göre, okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının çevresel tutum ölçeği toplamından ve Çevre Eğitiminde Alan Gezilerinin Önemi alt faktörü ile Çevresel Koruma Hareketi alt faktöründen okul öncesi öğretmenlerine oranla daha yüksek puan aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca okul öncesi öğretmenleri ve öğretmen adaylarının Çevresel Problemler için Eğitim Gereksinimi alt faktörü ile Çevresel Kirlilik ve Koruma alt faktöründen aldıkları puanların arasındaki farkın anlamlı olmadığı saptanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
