Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to examine the experiences of social studies teacher candidates in creating environmental awareness and social participation perception with Web 2.0-based digital tools. The study was designed in a phenomenological pattern, one of the qualitative research methods. The participants of the study consisted of 23 social studies teacher candidates selected in the context of criterion sampling from purposive sampling techniques. Participating teachers designed and shared activities with different contents in the context of environmental-themed studies with Web 2.0-based digital tools in the process. The data obtained from the experiences of the participants were analyzed with the content analysis technique, and three main themes related to the natural environment, the elderly and children in our environment were reached in the results of the study. In all three themes, common statements were reached that appropriate activities and materials were created, the activities were integrated with field and pedagogical information, and the use of technology and social media was given importance in the studies. Regarding the environmental theme, the idea of creating a perception of sensitivity to the natural environment has emerged. In addition, in the context of the elderly people around us, it has been seen that it is aimed at contributing to the creation of a healthy society. It has been determined that it is desired to bring the young generation and the elderly together, to make the elderly feel that they are not forgotten and to draw attention to age discrimination. In the context of the children theme, it has been determined that attention is being drawn to child education during the pandemic process and that efforts are being made to ensure that children learn the rules of living in society.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının Web 2.0 temelli dijital araçlarla çevre farkındalığı ve sosyal katılım algısı oluşturma çalışmalarına ilişkin deneyimlerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik desende tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları amaçlı örnekleme tekniklerinden ölçüt örneklem bağlamında seçilen 23 sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adayından oluşmaktadır. Katılımcı öğretmen adayları süreçte Web 2.0 temelli dijital araçlarla çevre temalı çalışmalar bağlamında farklı içeriklerde etkinlikler tasarlayarak bunları paylaşmışlardır. Katılımcıların deneyimlerinden elde edilen veriler içerik analizi tekniği ile incelenmiş olup, çalışma sonuçlarında doğal çevreye, çevremizdeki yaşlılara ve çocuklara ilişkin üç ana temaya ulaşılmıştır. Her üç temada da amaca uygun etkinlik ve materyallerin oluşturulduğu, etkinliklerin alan ve pedagojik bilgileriyle bütünleştirildiği, yapılan çalışmalarda teknoloji ve sosyal medya kullanımına önem verildiği şeklindeki ortak ifadelere ulaşılmıştır. Çevre teması bağlamında; doğal çevreye duyarlılık algısı oluşturma düşüncesi ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca çevremizdeki yaşlı insanlar teması bağlamında; sağlıklı bir toplum oluşturmaya katkı sunmanın amaçlandığı görülmüştür. Genç nesille yaşlı nesli buluşturmak, yaşlılara unutulmadıklarını hissettirmek ve yaş ayrımcılığına dikkat çekilmek istendiği tespit edilmiştir. Çocuklar teması bağlamında ise; pandemi sürecinde çocuk eğitimine dikkat çekilmeye çalışıldığı ve çocukların toplumda yaşama kurallarını öğrenmelerini sağlamaya dönük çalışmaların yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir.
