Abstract
Bu araştırmada, Sürdürülebilir Yaşam İçin Ekolojik Okuryazarım Eğitimi’nin okul öncesi çocuklarının çevreye yönelik farkındalık ve tutumlarına etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla çocuklara Eymir Gölü, TBMM Botanik Bahçesi ve Okul bahçelerinde-TEMA Etkinlikleri olmak üzere üç aşamada ekolojik okuryazarlık eğitimi verilmiştir. Tek gruplu ön test-son test deneysel deseninde yürütülen çalışmaya 24 okuldan 360 okul öncesi dönem çocuğu dâhil edilmiştir. Çocuklardan veriler, Çevreye Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ile Çevreye Yönelik Farkındalık Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın verilerinin çözümlenmesi amacıyla betimsel istatistikler ve ilişkili ölçümlerde t testi hesaplanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda ekolojik okuryazarlık eğitimi kapsamındaki etkinliklerin çocukların çevreye yönelik farkındalık ve tutumlarını anlamlı bir şekilde artırdığı tespit edilmiştir.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Ecological Literacy Education for Sustainable Life on the environment awareness and environment attitudes of preschool children. For this purpose, three different trainings were given to children: Eymir Lake, TBMM Botanical Garden and TEMA Activity. 360 pre-school children from 24 schools were included in the study. The research was conducted in one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. Data from children were collected using the Environmental Attitude Scale and Environmental Awareness Scale. In order to analyze the data of the study, descriptive statistics and t-test were calculated. As a result of the study, it was found that the activities within the scope of ecological literacy education significantly increased children's environment awareness and environment.
