Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional design developed to increase the knowledge and awareness of third-grade students about what garbage waste is, the importance of throwing the garbage waste to the right place, and the recycling processes of waste. In this study, which was designed as a pilot study, the effect of the developed instructional design on students was tested using a single-group post-test design. There are 54 teachers and three 371 students in the study group. The data were collected through student worksheets and teacher opinion form prepared by the researchers.The results of the research showed that after the training, the students became aware of the waste and garbage separation and frequently used the importance of reducing the garbage in their answers. It was determined that the students stated that the waste and garbage, which are unconsciously thrown into the environment without being separated, cause environmental pollution, and they emphasized individual precautions in their solution proposals. The majority of teachers views on instructional design are positive. As a result, it has been determined that the developed instructional design serves the purpose, the activities are appropriate and applicable to the class level, and the time allocated to the activities is sufficient.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı ilkokul 3. sınıf öğrencilerine çöpünatığın ne olduğu, üretilen çöpün atığın doğru yere atılmasının önemi, atıkların geri dönüşüm süreçleri hakkında bilgi ve farkındalıklarını artırmak amacıyla geliştirilen öğretim tasarımının etkililiğini değerlendirmektir. Pilot çalışma olarak tasarlanan bu araştırmada, geliştirilen öğretim tasarımının öğrenciler üzerindeki etkisi zayıf deneysel desenlerden tek grup son test deseni kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Çalışma grubunda ellidört öğretmen ve üçyüzyetmişbir öğrenci yer almaktadır. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan öğrenci çalışma yaprakları ve öğretmen görüş formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır.Araştırma sonuçları eğitim sonrasında öğrencilerin atık ve çöp ayrımının farkına vardıkları, çöpü azaltmanın önemini yanıtlarında sıklıkla kullandıklarını göstermiştir. Öğrencilerin ayrıştırılmadan çevreye bilinçsizce atılan atık ve çöplerin çevre kirliliğine yol açtığını ifade ettikleri, sundukları çözüm önerilerinde ise bireysel önlemlere vurgu yaptıkları belirlenmiştir. Öğretim tasarımıyla ilgili öğretmen görüşlerinin büyük çoğunluğu olumludur. Sonuç olarak geliştirilen öğretim tasarımının amaca hizmet ettiği, etkinliklerin sınıf seviyesine uygun ve uygulanabilir olduğu, etkinliklere ayrılan sürelerin yeterli olduğu belirlenmiştir.
