The effects of Teaching Practices Based on Biomimicry Approach on Learning-Teaching Processes
Abstract
The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of biomimicry approach on the learning-teaching process, based on the results of the studies on teaching practices on the biomimicry approach. The research was carried out by systematic review method. Depending on this method, the review protocol of scientific studies, which consists of four stages: planning, research, selection and synthesis, was employed. Within the scope of the research, the studies indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) database were searched with the keywords "biomimicry", "biomimicry in education", and then the relevant studies were selected by scanning TRDizin, Wiley, Scopus databases. Additionally, the relevant postgraduate studies were scanned through the National Dissertation Center and ProQuest databases and were included in the review. Within the scope of research themes, all the related studies in the fields of Educational Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, Psychology and Sociology were included in the review. During the selection phase, the contents were evaluated and the studies suitable for the research purpose were determined in line with the elimination criteria. In the synthesis phase, the selected studies were evaluated in terms of their theoretical basis, aims, methods, findings, and limitations. The total number of studies included in the systematic review was determined as 16. The results of the study provide a perspective on the current status of the biomimicry approach in the field of social sciences, how it is conceptually defined, and the effects of this approach on responding to needs in the field of education and learning characteristics.
