AB  - The climate crisis is an ethical issue besides being an environmental problem. Therefore, examining pre-service teachers’ ethical reasoning about climate change is crucial since they will educate future global citizens. To achieve this aim, this study probed into pre-service teachers’ reasoning on climate ethics and climate justice by asking them to answer the questions in two different reflections. The participants of the current study were 31 pre-service teachers (10 males, 21 females) who study in the English Language Teaching Program at the Faculty of Education at a private university in Turkey. In the 1st reflection, they identified and justified ethical issues regarding climate change and discuss how they could teach them in their class. The  2nd reflection asked them to discuss climate justice and design an instruction to teach climate justice by using a story and a game. The results suggest identifying and naming the ethical issue as climate justice and asking pre-service teachers to design teaching on stories and games in a structured way to facilitate ethical reasoning.

N2  - İklim krizi, bir çevre problemi olmasının yanı sıra, etik bir sorundur. Bu bağlamda, geleceğin küresel vatandaşlarını öğretmenlerin yetiştireceği bakış açısıyla, öğretmen adaylarının iklim değişikliğiyle ilgili etik muhakemelerini incelemek çok önemlidir. Bu amaçla, bu çalışmada öğretmen adaylarının iki farklı yansıtma soruları ile iklim etiği ve iklim adaleti konusundaki etik muhakemeleri ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiştir. Bu makalede sunulan araştırmanın katılımcıları Türkiye’de özel bir üniversitenin Eğitim Fakültesi İngilizce Öğretmenliği Programında öğrenim gören 31 (10 erkek, 21 kadın) öğretmen adayıdır. İklim etiği muhakemelerini incelemek amacıyla oluşturulan birinci yansıtmada katılımcılar, iklim değişikliği ile ilgili etik sorunları belirleyerek iklim değişikliğiyle ilgili bu etik sorunları nasıl öğreteceklerini tartışmışlardır. İklim adaleti ile ilgili etik muhakemelerini incelemek amacıyla oluşturulan ikinci yansıtmada ise bu katılımcılardan iklim adaletini tartışmaları ve daha sonra bir hikâye kullanarak ve bu hikâyeye dayanan oyun tasarlayarak iklim adaletini anlatan bir öğretim tasarlamaları istenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, etik sorunu iklim adaleti olarak tanımlamaya ve öğretmen adaylarının öğretimlerini hikayeler ve oyunlar temelinde yapılandırmanın etik muhakemeyi kolaylaştıracağına işaret etmektedir.
