Abstract

This study aims to examine the views of secondary school 8th grade students on biotechnology and biosecurity from an ethical perspective. The study group of the research consists of 43 secondary school students studying in the 8th grade in a public school. The research is a descriptive study carried out using the qualitative research method. Ethics inventory consisting of 5 open-ended dilemma scenarios was used in the research. The research data were analyzed by subjecting them to content analysis. The findings obtained from the research show that the majority of secondary school 8th grade students are worried about the results of biotechnological applications, they do not favor the use of imported seeds, they do not support the use of pesticides, they find human life more valuable than the life of other living things, their emotions are effective in their ethical decisions and they are aware of the importance of biosecurity.

Özet

Bu çalışma ortaokul 8. Sınıf öğrencilerinin biyoteknoloji ve biyogüvenlik konularına ait görüşlerini etik açıdan incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu bir devlet okulunda 8. sınıfta öğrenim gören 43 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiş betimleyici bir çalışmadır. Araştırmada 5 açık uçlu ikilem senaryosundan oluşan etik envanteri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri içerik analizine tabi tutularak incelenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, ortaokul 8.sınıf öğrencilerinin çoğunluğunun biyoteknolojik uygulamaların sonuçlarından endişe duyduğunu, ithal tohum kullanımına sıcak bakmadıklarını, tarım ilacı kullanımını desteklemediklerini, insan yaşamını diğer canlıların yaşamından daha değerli bulduklarını, duygularının etik kararlarında etkili olduğunu ve biyogüvenliğin öneminin farkında olduklarını göstermektedir.
