Özet:

 This qualitative study aims to determine the effect of school trips to power plants on students knowledge levels and awareness of the types of energy sources. Specifically, in the context of a trip to a wind power plant, the current study aimed to enable students to review their knowledge levels about wind power plants, to determine their learning needs about these structures, and to determine how their knowledge levels changed as a result of the activity. The study group consists of 30 middle school students who participated in the nature education project supported within the scope of TÜBİTAK 4004 Nature Education and Science Schools in 2022. The research data were collected with What I know; What I want to know; What I have learned, cards and an Energy Source Type questionnaire. Descriptive and content analysis methods were used to analyze the data obtained in the study. Findings of the study show that planned educational trips to out-of-school learning environments have a significant contribution to the scientific literacy and awareness levels of the participants about the types of energy sources and wind power plants. In many studies, and as observed in this study, it has been determined that there were improvements in students cognitive and affective characteristics as a result of planned trips to out-of-school learning environments. For this reason, it is recommended that such activities should be included in all stages of education.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, enerji santrallerine yapılan gezilerle, öğrencilerin enerji kaynaklarının hangi tür enerji kaynağı olduğuna yönelik bilgi düzeylerine ve farkındalıklarına etkisini tespit etmektir. Ayrıca rüzgâr enerji santraline RES yapılan gezi ile öğrencilerin rüzgâr enerji santrallerine yönelik bilgi düzeylerini gözden geçirmelerini sağlamak, bu yapılara ilişkin öğrenme ihtiyaçlarını belirlemek ve etkinlik sonucunda bilgi düzeylerinin nasıl değiştiğini tespit etmektir. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden temel nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarında durum çalışması kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2022 yılında TÜBİTAK 4004 Doğa Eğitimi ve Bilim Okulları kapsamında desteklenen doğa eğitimi projesine katılan 30 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri Bilgi-İstek-Öğrenme Kartları ve Enerji Kaynağı Türü Anketi ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde betimsel ve içerik analizi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, okul dışı öğrenme ortamlarına yapılan eğitim planlı gezilerin katılımcıların enerji kaynağı türleri konusunda ve rüzgâr enerji santrallerine yönelik bilimsel okuryazarlık ve farkındalık düzeylerine önemli katkısının olduğu söylenebilir. Yapılan birçok çalışmada ve bu çalışmada gözlendiği gibi okul dışı öğrenme ortamlarına yapılan planlı geziler sayesinde öğrencilerin bilişsel ve duyuşsal özelliklerinde gelişmeler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sebeple bu tür faaliyetlere eğitim ve öğretim süreçlerinin tüm aşamalarında yer verilmesi önerilmektedir.
