Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to investigate natural disaster literacy levels of teacher candidates studying in primary education and social studies teaching departments. In the study, descriptive survey research and convenient sampling, one of purposive sampling methods, were used. 102 teacher candidates participated in the study voluntarily. Data were collected using the Natural Disasters Literacy Survey. According to the research findings, while the geographical inquiries of the teacher candidates are at high level, their personal protection measures, physical and intellectual approaches, and general behavioural literacy for natural disasters are at medium level. While teacher candidates sensitivity and awareness towards natural disasters are at high level, their individual and social preparedness levels against natural disasters are low. It is determined that their general affective literacy for natural disasters is at high level. It is concluded that teacher candidates have medium level of knowledge in terms of cognitive literacy for natural disasters. The findings also shows that gender, department and grade level does not cause a significant difference in the natural disaster literacy levels of teacher candidates. The findings obtained at the end of the research are discussed in the light of studies in the literature and some suggestions are made for practice and research.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmenliği ve sosyal bilgiler öğretmenliği bölümünde öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarının doğal afetler okuryazarlık düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada, betimsel tarama modeli ve amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya 102 öğretmen adayı gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler, Doğal Afetler Okuryazarlığı Anketi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, öğretmen adaylarının coğrafi sorgulamaları yüksek düzeyde iken, kişisel koruma tedbirleri, fiziksel ve fikirsel yaklaşımları ve davranışsal olarak genel doğal afetler okuryazarlıkları orta düzeydedir. Öğretmen adaylarının doğal afetlere karşı duyarlılıkları ve bilinçlilikleri yüksek düzeyde iken, doğal afetlere karşı bireysel ve toplumsal hazırlık düzeyleri düşüktür. Buna rağmen, duyuşsal olarak okuryazarlıklarının yüksek düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının doğal afetler konusunda orta düzeyde bilgili oldukları sonucuna varılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda, cinsiyet, bölüm ve sınıf düzeyinin öğretmen adaylarının doğal afet okuryazarlığı düzeylerinde anlamlı bir farklılığa neden olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonunda elde edilen bulgular, alanyazında yer alan çalışmalar ışığında tartışılarak uygulama ve araştırmaya dönük bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
