Özet

Bu çalışmada, özel yetenekli öğrencilerin çevre farkındalık ve duyarlılıklarını geliştirmek amacıyla düzenlenen TÜBİTAK 4004 “Bilim ve Sanat Kâşifleri Doğada” adlı altı gün süren doğa eğitimi projesinin, öğrencilerin çevreye yönelik farkındalık ve duyarlılıkları üzerine olan etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya İstanbul, Aydın ve Tekirdağ illerinden 50 özel yetenekli yedinci sınıf öğrencisi katılmıştır. Nitel yöntemin kullanıldığı çalışmada, veri toplama aracı olarak öğrencilerin çevre farkındalık ve duyarlıklarını belirlemek amacıyla yedişer açık uçlu sorudan oluşan iki anket kullanılmıştır. Veriler betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Proje sürecinde doğa ile ilgili yapılan etkinliklerden sonra öğrencilerin çevre bilincinin, çevreye yönelik farkındalık ve duyarlılıklarının geliştiği tespit edilmiştir. Öğrenciler çevre eğitimlerinin eğlenceli olduğunu, yapılan etkinliklerle birlikte çevre, canlılar ve ekosistem ile ilgili birçok bilgi edindiklerini, çevreyi koruma konusunda artık daha duyarlı olduklarını belirtmişlerdir
