Öğretmen Adaylarının Yenilenebilir Enerji Kavramına ilişkin Görüşleri

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının yenilenebilir enerjiye yönelik görüşlerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışmanın yürütülmesinde nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya toplam olarak 30 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Katılımcıların seçimi sırasında amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya daha önce çevre eğitimi ile ilgili dersler almış olan öğretmen adayları katılmıştır. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmış olan üç açık uçlu soru veri toplamak için kullanılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarına yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanılmasının önemi, yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımının önündeki engeller ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımının artırılması konularında sorular sorulmuştur. Sorulara verilmiş olan cevaplar yazılı olarak toplandı. Toplanan verilerin analizi sırasında içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular kategorilere ayrılmış ve daha sonra temalar belirlenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının yenilenebilir enerji kavramına ilişkin görüşleri temalar ve kategoriler aracılığıyla ortaya konmuştur. Araştırmanın sonuçları, öğretmen adaylarının yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları konusunda farkındalıklarının olduğunu ancak bilgilerinin istenilen düzeyde olmadığını göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, politika yapıcılara, ulusal alanda toplumun farkındalığını artırmak için uzun vadede öğretmen eğitiminin planlanması sürecinde yenilenebilir enerji hakkında yeni bilgiler sağlayabilir.

Prospective Teachers' Views on the Concept of Renewable Energy

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the prospective teachers’ views on the concept of renewable energy. The study employed a qualitative research method. A total of 30 prospective teachers attended the study. A purposeful sampling method was used to choose the participants. Prospective teachers who had taken courses related to environmental education before participated in the study. The data were collected through three open-ended questions prepared by the researchers. The prospective teachers were asked questions on the importance of using renewable energy sources, obstacles to the usage of renewable energy sources, and increasing the usage of renewable energy sources. Their answers to questions were collected in writing. Content analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The findings were divided into categories and then the themes were specified. Prospective teachers’ views about the concept of renewable energy were demonstrated through the themes and categories. The results of the study showed that prospective teachers had awareness of renewable energy sources but that their knowledge was not at the desired level. The results could provide policymakers with new information about renewable energy in the process of planning teacher training in the long term to raise society’s awareness in the national arena.
