Özet
Araştırmanın amacı, öğretmen ve biyolog adaylarının çevre ve ekoloji kavramları bilgi düzeyleri ile çevreye yönelik tutumlarının çeşitli değişkenler açısından nicel olarak değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışma, 2011–2012 akademik yılı bahar döneminde,
Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi ilköğretim ve biyoloji bölümlerindeki bir grup öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubu, 133’ü
kız ve 40’ı erkek toplam 173 katılımcıdan oluşmuştur. Veriler, Akbaş (2007) tarafından kullanılan “Çevre ve Ekoloji Kavram
Bilgisi Testi” ile “Çevresel Tutum Ölçeği” aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Toplanan verilerin istatistiksel analizleri; betimsel istatistik,
bağımsız örneklemler t-testi ve tek yönlü ANOVA, çoklu grup karşılaştırmaları ise Scheffe testi ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma
sonuçları, katılımcıların bilgi düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Kavramsal bilgi testindeki başarının,
tüm gruplar arasında fen bilgisi öğretmen adayları lehine olduğu bulunmuştur. Kızların erkeklere göre kavramsal bilgi testinde
daha başarılı oldukları ve çevreye yönelik daha olumlu tutumlara sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, katılımcıların çevreye
yönelik tutumları arasında bölüm değişkenine göre anlamlı farklılıklar olmadığı da ortaya çıkmıştır.
The purpose of the study is to quantitatively evaluate preservice teachers and biologist candidates’ knowledge levels about environmental and ecological concepts and their attitudes towards the environment in terms of different variables. The study was carried out with a sample of students in the departments of biology and elementary education at Abant İzzet Baysal University in the spring term of 2011-2012 academic year. The research group consisted of 133 females and 40 males, with a total of 173 participants. Data were collected by means of the “Environment and Ecology Concept Knowledge Test” and “Attitude towards the Environment Scale” used by Akbaş (2007). Statistical analysis of the collected data were performed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe test for multiple group comparisons. The results of the study indicated that there were significant differences among the knowledge levels of the participants. The achievement between all groups in the concept knowledge test was found to be in favour of preservice elementary science teachers. Females also performed better at the concept knowledge test and showed that they have more positive attitudes towards the environment than males. It was also emerged from the study that according to the department variable, there were not significant differences between the attitudes of participants towards the environment.
