Fen bilgisi öğretmeni eğitiminde yerleşke bahçesinin öğrenme ortamı olarak kullanılması

Urban Farm DB summary

This case study aimed to introduce the educational use of school gardens to 38 pre-service science teachers at a state university in Turkey, improving their subject knowledge, teaching competency, and confidence in outdoor settings. Educational research indicates that teacher education programs primarily focus on classrooms, leaving teachers unprepared for outdoor instruction. Through a lesson study model in a campus garden, pre-service teachers reported awareness of using scientific plant names but felt insufficient in their ability. However, the model was shown to contribute to their professional competence and subject knowledge.
