Özet:

 This research aims to reveal the opinions of students and teachers about the effect of plogging on the environmental awareness of fourth-grade primary school students and its applicability. The study utilized the case study method used in the qualitative research approach. The sample of this study consists of 10 students and their classroom teachers studying in the 4th grade in a primary school located in Güneysu district of Rize province in the first semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. An open-ended questionnaire, consisting of 6 questions for students and 2 questions for the classroom teacher, was used as the data collection tool. As a result of the research, most students stated that the plogging activity contributed to them such as cleaning nature, doing sports, not throwing recyclable waste in the trash, and having fun. The students stated that the plogging activity contributed to their development in recycling, such as learning that leaves are organic waste and becoming aware of which color bags to put the waste in. While the students generally did not experience any problems during the plogging activity, some stated that they experienced problems such as heat exhaustion and shoe burns. The classroom teacher stated that plogging activities can be applied in schools and contributes to the development of students. He also stated that this activity helps children learn permanently by reinforcing topics such as environmental cleaning and recycling. As a result of the research, suggestions were presented for the implementation plogging activity and future studies to be conducted by researchers on plogging activity.

 Bu araştırma; plogging sporunun ilkokul dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin çevreye farkındalıklarına yönelik etkisi ve uygulanabilirliği hakkında öğrenci ve öğretmen görüşlerini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, nitel araştırma yaklaşımında kullanılan durum çalışması yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini 2024-2025 eğitim öğretim yılının I. döneminde Rize ili Güneysu ilçesinde bulunan bir ilkokulda 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören toplam 10 öğrenci ve sınıf öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan ve öğrenciler için 6, sınıf öğretmeni için 2 sorudan oluşan açık uçlu anket kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğu plogging faaliyetinin kendileri için doğayı temizlemek, spor yapmak, geri dönüştürülebilir atıkları çöpe atmamak ve eğlenmek gibi katkılar sağladığını ifade etmiştir. Öğrenciler, plogging faaliyetinin geri dönüşüm konusundaki gelişimlerine yönelik ise yaprağın organik atık olduğunu öğrenme, atıkların hangi renk poşete koyulacağı konusunda bilinçlenme gibi katkılar sağladığını belirtmiştir. Öğrenciler plogging faaliyeti süresince genellikle herhangi bir sorun yaşamazken bir kısım öğrenci sıcaktan bunalma ve ayakkabı vurması gibi sorunlar yaşadıklarını söylemiştir. Sınıf öğretmeni ise plogging faaliyetinin okullarda uygulanabilir olduğunu ve öğrencilerin gelişimine katkıda bulunduğunu belirtmiştir. Ayrıca bu faaliyetin, çevre temizliği ve geri dönüşüm gibi konuların pekiştirilerek çocuklarda kalıcı öğrenmeye yardımcı olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, plogging faaliyetinin uygulanması ve gelecekte araştırmacıların plogging faaliyetine ilişkin yapacakları çalışmalara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
