Abstract

For a sustainable environment, the notion of educating the children from the early years regarding the environment is becoming more commonplace. Therefore the subject of environment in the current education system shall be reviewed. Contrary to popular belief, environment do not only consist the natural formations and the importance of built environment and its relation to ecological balance is not fully understood. For this reason, the aim is to improve the current environment education in terms of context and governance and the field studies conducted for this purpose include architecture based environment education events. For this study, the different methods for processing the issue of environment in lessons are reviewed and consisted 65 students, 30 being the experiment group, that are in 4th grade in 2 different schools. The quantitative and qualitative research methods are used in tandem. As the results of the study is reviewed, it is seen that the students who participated to the workshop have become more knowledgeable in terms of "environment, ecology and sustainability" and are able to apply their knowledge by constructing models. Based on these results, the studies that will be conducted in the future regarding environment education, it is recommended that a holistic approach that includes the built environment to be adopted.
