Özet:

 In this research, it was aimed to determine the cognitive structures of social studies and classroom teacher candidates regarding the concepts of environment, natural environment, and artificial environment through the word association test. The research was conducted with a total of 93 teacher candidates studying at a universitys classroom teaching and social studies teaching departments. Research data were collected with the word association test WAT. The answers written by the teacher canditates were turned into a concept network. Social studies teacher candidates used the concept of environment in 58 different words and natural environment in 103 different words. It was determined that they associated the concept of artificial environment with 101 different words. It was determined that social studies and classroom teacher candidates most associated the concept of environment with the word human. It was determined that social studies and classroom teacher candidates most associated the concept of environment with the word human. It was determined that social studies teacher candidates associated the concept of natural environment with the word animal and classroom teacher candidates associated it with the word forest. It was determined that social studies and classroom teacher candidates associated the concept of artificial environment with the word building. It was determined that the cognitive structures of prospective teachers regarding the concepts of environment, natural environment and artificial environment were similar. These results show that teacher candidates mostly state the concepts they relate to their environment.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, sosyal bilgiler ve sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının kelime ilişkilendirme testi aracılığıyla çevre, doğal çevre ve yapay çevre kavramına yönelik bilişsel yapılarını belirlemektir. Araştırma verileri 2022-2023 eğitim-öğretim yılında bir üniversitenin sınıf öğretmenliği ve sosyal bilgiler öğretmenliği bölümünde okuyan toplam 93 öğretmen adayından toplanmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak kelime ilişkilendirme testi KİT kullanılmıştır. KİT için çevre, doğal çevre ve yapay çevre kavramları anahtar kelime olarak belirlenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının yazdıkları cevaplar kavram ağı haline getirilmiştir. Sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni adaylarının çevre kavramını 58 farklı kelime, doğal çevre kavramını 103 farklı kelime, yapay çevre kavramını 53 farklı kelime ile sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının ise çevre kavramını 47 farklı kelime, doğal çevre kavramını 52 farklı kelime, yapay çevre kavramını 101 farklı kelime ile ilişkilendirdikleri belirlenmiştir. Sosyal bilgiler ve sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının çevre kavramını en fazla insan kelimesi ile ilişkilendirdikleri belirlenmiştir. Sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni adaylarının doğal çevre kavramını en fazla hayvan, sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının ise en fazla orman kelimesi ile ilişkilendirdikleri belirlenmiştir. Sosyal bilgiler ve sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının yapay çevre kavramını en fazla bina kelimesi ile ilişkilendirdikleri belirlenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının çevre, doğal çevre ve yapay çevre kavramına yönelik bilişsel yapılarının benzer olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, öğretmen adaylarının daha çok çevreleriyle ilişkide bulundukları kavramları belirttiklerini göstermektedir.
