The Effects of Seed and Vegetative Planting Activities on the Environment Awareness of Children

Abstract

The aim of the article is to explore the results of seed-vegetation planting activities on the development of landscape and environmental awareness of preschool children. The experimental class of the study contained 40 students who participated in seed and vegetation planting activities and the control group consisted of 40 students who participated planting activities only as observers. Therefore, the present study investigated the parent opinions in terms of the effects of planting activities on the development of preschool children. The research was realized with a total of 80 children and their parents and in two educational institutions in Trabzon Province, during the between 2017-2019 academic years. The reliability of the scale was analyzed via the internal consistency coefficient, Cronbach Alpha, which yielded a value of 0.923. Such findings indicate that the measurement tool was valid and reliable as a scale that determined the effects of planting activities on the development of landscape and natural environmental awareness of the children. The significance level was accepted as 0.05 and findings were evaluated accordingly. Furthermore, 25 items in the scale were asked to both groups. There existed no significant differences in 6 expressions (p> 0.05).
