Özet:

 The aim of this study is to examine the effect of environmental education given about natural habitats on the environmental motivation of sports sciences faculty students. In the 2023-2024 academic year, 116 volunteer students 64 male, 52 female enrolled in the volunteering studies and field experience course at Kırıkkale University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, participated in the study. The Motivation Scale for Environmental Motivation developed by Sakarya 2010 was used to collect the data. During the research process, a 10-week theoretical and practical training was given. Pre-test and post-test data on gender, socio-economic status, and anthropometric characteristics of the students were obtained. The results of the analysis show that the environmental motivation of individuals who received environmental education within the scope of volunteering activities and field experience courses increased significantly. Both male and female participants showed significant improvements in the sub-dimensions of environmental motivation. In conclusion, environmental education increases individuals environmental sensitivity and encourages the sustainable use of natural resources. These findings reveal the effectiveness of education about our environment, nature, and living spaces in developing motivation towards the environment.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, doğal yaşam alanlarına yönelik verilen çevre eğitiminin spor bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin çevresel motivasyonları üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya, 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesinde gönüllülük çalışmaları ve alan deneyimi dersine kayıtlı 116 gönüllü öğrenci 64 erkek, 52 kadın katılım sağlamıştır. Verilerin toplamasında Sakarya 2010 tarafından geliştirilen Çevreye Karşı Motivasyon Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sürecinde 10 haftalık teorik ve uygulamalı bir eğitim verilmiştir. Öğrencilerin cinsiyet, sosyo ekonomik durum ve antropometrik özelliklerine dair ön test ve son test verileri elde edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları, gönüllülük çalışmaları ve alan deneyimi dersi kapsamında çevre eğitimi alan bireylerin çevresel motivasyonlarının anlamlı şekilde arttığını göstermektedir. Hem erkek hem de kadın katılımcılarda çevresel motivasyon alt boyutlarında önemli gelişmeler kaydedilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, çevre eğitimi, bireylerin çevresel duyarlılıklarını artırmakta ve doğal kaynakların sürdürülebilir kullanımını teşvik etmektedir. Bu bulgular, çevremize, doğamıza, yaşam alanlarımıza yönelik eğitiminin çevreye karşı motivasyon geliştirmekteki etkinliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
