Prospective Biology Teachers’ Opinions about Outdoor Learning Activities within the Scope of Nature and Environmental Education / Biyoloji Öğretmen Adaylarının Doğa ve Çevre Eğitimi Kapsamında Gerçekleştirilen Okul Dışı Etkinlikler Hakkında Görüşleri

Abstract

Outdoor learning activities enable individuals to increase their sensitivity, awareness and responsibility for nature and the environment. The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of prospective biology teachers about the outdoor learning activities within the scope of nature and environmental education. The study group of the research consists of 78 prospective teachers selected by convenience sampling and registered in the Biology Education Department of a state university. The participants were selected on a voluntary basis. A case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was applied in this study. Within the scope of the research, the data were obtained from a semi-structured interview form. In the analysis of the data, the content analysis technique was applied to review and assess the opinions of the prospective biology teachers by using the ATLAS.ti program. The encoder reliability for the study was calculated as (56/62) *100) = 90.3%. According to the results of the study, the prospective biology teachers’ opinions about outdoor learning activities towards nature and environmental education were categorized as: the variety of these activities, the importance of these activities in the education system, the contribution of these activities to their professional development, the interesting aspects of these activities, and the difficulties of these activities. As a result of this study, it was determined that field trips and nature walks were mostly included in outdoor learning activities in terms of the variety of nature and environmental education. It was emphasized that these activities caused an increase in sensitivity and awareness towards the environment, enabled the realization of permanent learning, provided the opportunity to learn by doing and to examine living things in nature, and created more fun learning environments in terms of the place and importance of outdoor learning activities in education. It was also stated that these activities contribute to teachers’ professional development, as they enable teachers to gain experience in the teaching profession and to gain more knowledge about nature and the environment. Thanks to the outdoor learning activities carried out in accordance with their purpose, a more interesting, effective and permanent learning environment can be realized in an interactive environment. It is recommended that based on the integration of education in different areas of life, departments can carry out outdoor learning activities which are directly related to their fields and prospective teachers can be directed towards the outdoor learning course, which is an elective course in their departments.
