Abstract

The aim of this study was to have science teacher candidates develop models for teaching the subjects of recycling and reutilization of wastes. The study was performed with a total of 30 third-year and fourth-year students attending the Science Education Department of a Turkish University. The study results indicated that all eight models developed by the teachers candidates within the scope of this study emphasized recovery, while four of them also highlighted recycling, and four of them also focused on reutilization. It was observed that all science teacher candidates developed models by using solid wastes. Plastic and paper-cardboard were the most frequently used wastes in models developed within the scope of this study, while metal and composites wastes were not used in any of the teacher candidate models. It was observed that all of the models emphasized the reutilization of wastes for different purposes.

Fen Bilgisi Öğretmen Adaylarının Atıkların Geri Kazanımının Öğretimine Yönelik Modelleri

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile geri dönüşüm ve yeniden kullanım konularının öğretiminde kullanılmak üzere fen bilgisi öğretmen adayları tarafından modeller oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği 3. sınıfta ve 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören toplam 30 öğrenci katılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda fen bilgisi öğretmen adayları tarafından geliştirilen 8 modelin tamamında geri kazanım vurgulanırken, dört modelde geri dönüşüm, dört modelde ise yeniden kullanımın vurgulandığı belirlenmiştir. Fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının tamamının katı atıkları kullanarak modeller geliştirdikleri görülmektedir. Çalışmanın sonucunda oluşturulan modellerde en çok plastik ve kâğıt-karton atıkların kullanıldığı, metal ve kompozit atık türlerinin ise hiç kullanılmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Hazırlanan tüm modellerde atıkların farklı bir amaç için yeniden kullanımı mesajının öne çıktığı belirlenmiştir.
