Bahçe Temelli Öğrenme Yaklaşımına Yönelik Eğilimler: Okul Bahçesi Uygulamaları Örneği (2000-2015)

Öz

Yapılan çalışmanın amacı, okul bahçesi uygulamalarının içerik analizini yaparak, bahçe temelli öğrenme yaklaşımına yönelik eğilimleri ortaya koymaktır. 2000-2015 yılları arasında 21 farklı dergide tam metin olarak yayımlanan 162 makale çalışmanın kapsamını oluşturmaktadır. İlgili makaleler, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen “Okul Bahçesi Uygulamaları Alan Tarama Formu” kullanılarak betimsel içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, okul bahçesi uygulamaları kapsamında gerçekleştirilen çalışmalarda daha çok akademik performansın belirlenmesi ve geliştirilmesi ile birlikte sağlıklı yaşam becerilerinin geliştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Yapılan araştırmalarda kullanılan araştırma modelleri incelendiğinde daha çok belirli bir araştırma modeli kullanılmadığı, kullanılanlarda ise deneysel araştırma modelinin ağırlık kazandığı görülmektedir. Örneklem olarak özellikle okul öncesi ve ilköğretim düzeyindeki öğrencilere yer verilirken, nicel ve nitel veri toplama araçlarına yer verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Okul bahçesi uygulamalarının sonuçları incelendiğinde ise akademik performansın gelişimi, sağlıklı yaşam becerilerinin gelişimi ve bireysel ve sosyal becerilerinin gelişimi üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Trends of Garden Based Learning Approach: Example of School Garden Applications (2000-2015)

Öz

The aim of the study is to analyze the content of school gardening practices and to identify trends towards a garden-based learning approach. The scope of the study is composed of 162 articles published in full text in 21 different journals between 2000 and 2015. The related articles were subjected to descriptive content analysis using the "School Garden Practices Survey Form (SGPSF)" developed by the researcher. According to the results of the analysis, it is aimed to develop healthy living skills with the determination and development of academic performance in studies conducted within the scope of school garden practices. When the research models used in the researches are examined, it is seen that a specific research model is not used and the experimental research model is preferred. It has been determined that quantitative and qualitative data collection tools are used in the sample, especially pre-school and primary school students are included. When the results of school gardening practices are examined, it has been found that they have a positive effect on the development of academic performance, the development of healthy living skills, and the development of individual and social skills.
