Çevre Sorunlarının Öğretiminde Sanal Saha Gezisi Materyalinin Başarı, Tutum ve Davranış Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, çevre sorunlarının öğretiminde sanal gezi materyalinin öğrencilerin akademik başarı, tutum ve davranışları üzerindeki etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, ön test, son test ve kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel bir desenle yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubunu 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında öğrenim gören 60 onuncu sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Deney ve kontrol grupları yansız atama yoluyla belirlenmiş; deney grubuna sanal gezi materyali uygulanırken, kontrol grubuna öğretim programının öngördüğü yöntemler 7 hafta boyunca uygulanmıştır. Veri toplama sürecinde "Çevre Sorunları Başarı Testi", "Çevre Sorunlarına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği" ve "Çevre Sorunlarına Yönelik Davranış Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Veriler, bağımsız ve bağımlı gruplar için t-testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, deney ve kontrol gruplarının ön test başarı, tutum ve davranış puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığını göstermiştir. Uygulama sonunda, deney grubunun başarı ve tutum son test puan ortalamalarının anlamlı bir şekilde arttığı, ancak davranış puanları açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığı belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, sanal gezi materyalinin özellikle başarı ve tutum boyutlarında etkili olduğunu göstermektedir.

The Effect of Virtual Field Trip Material on Achievement, Attitude and Behavior in Teaching Environmental Problems

Öz

This study aimed to examine the effect of virtual field trip materials on students' academic achievement, attitudes, and behaviors in teaching environmental issues. The study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and control group. 60 tenth-grade students studying in the 2023-2024 academic year constituted the study group. Experimental and control groups were determined through unbiased assignment; the virtual field trip material was applied to the experimental group, while the methods prescribed by the curriculum were applied to the control group for 7 weeks. The "Environmental Problems Achievement Test," the "Attitude Towards Environmental Problems Scale," and the "Behavior Towards Environmental Problems Scale" were used in the data collection process. Data were analyzed using a t-test for independent and dependent groups. Findings showed that there was no significant difference between the pre-test achievement, attitude, and behavior mean scores of the experimental and control groups. At the end of the application, it was determined that the achievement and attitude post-test mean scores of the experimental group increased significantly. However, no significant difference was found between the groups in terms of behavioral scores. These results reveal that virtual field trip material is particularly effective in achievement and attitude dimensions.
