Ecocriticism analyzes the symbolic meanings attributed
to nature and the mindsets created by
these meanings through interpreting literature and cultural texts from an
environmental perspective. The individuals who have gained ecocriticism skills
are expected to create an awareness concerning possession of a distinctive
value and to direct towards a non-anthropocentric understanding from an
anthropocentric understanding. The purpose of this study is to develop
ecocriticism skills of primary school students in the third grade. Action research
design has been used in this study. A total of 15 students composed of 8
females and 7 males participated in the study. Data of the study were obtained
with rhetorical discussion, analytical questioning, mind maps and drawings. Following the applications
composed of discussions, mind maps and drawings, it has been determined that
the implications develop the ecocritical inquiry skills of students.
