Investigation of the efficiency of “We Are Learning About the Soil with Tipitop and His Friends 6” entitled soil education project

Abstract

We Are Learning About the Soil with Tipitop and His Friends Project, has been supported for six times within TÜBİTAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) 4004 Science and Society Project Group as of 2009. The project aims to introduce the soil and concepts related to soil to children. In line with this purpose, the project aims to ensure that young children get to know their environments and increase their sensitivity by including the subjects such as the properties of the soil, creatures living on/underneath the soil, plants, fruits and vegetables that grow in the soil, the importance of soil, what is erosion, its causes and results within the project. The project is a 9-day work that consists of various activities organised on the specified subjects (properties of the soil, creatures living on/ underneath the soil, the importance of soil, protection of soil, what is erosion, its causes and results). The target group of the projects consisted of 5-6-year-old children from families with lower socio-economical levels, who attend kindergartens of primary schools affiliated to Denizli Provincial Directorate for National Education in the city centre of Denizli, their families and preschool teachers. Year 2015 results of the soil education project titled We Are Learning About the Soil with Tipitop and His Friends 6 revealed the increase in the knowledge of 5-6-year-old children regarding the soil.
