Abstract

This study aims to explore the benefits of nature-based education for children and reveals how to create nature-based learning environments for preschool children with physical disabilities in religious education. The study was conducted using the systematic literature review. It analyzes related studies and reveals the principles of the nature-based learning environments according to the learning outcomes of early childhood religious education. At the end of the research, it is concluded that natural elements are beneficial both for the social, cognitive, and affective development of children and that activities conducted in learning environments with natural materials can be used effectively in faith and moral education of children. It is proposed that arrangements should be made to allow access, active participation, contact with nature, and the use of natural materials according to the physical disability of the children in the learning environments to be designed for children with disabilities. The arrangements are associated with target behaviors in the curriculum of early childhood religious education.
