As a result of scientific and technological developments in today's world, global education has started to take its place in the educational systems throughout the world and become more significant in recent years. Since global education has multiple effects on societies, it is also crucial in helping students to become informed, active, and global citizens. This study employs document analysis, a qualitative research method, in order to examine how the themes regarding global education are shaped in the Citizenship and Democracy Education textbook and curriculum designed for the eighth grade students. Findings of the study showed that some themes, regarding global education, are embedded into the curriculum only to provide knowledge without any emphasis on necessary skills and values, and other sub-themes completely ignored along with the global dimension of citizenship education.

Plastic pollution has become a major environmental problem affecting ecosystems, wildlife and human health. While recent studies have mainly focused on microplastics, there is a need to assess the presence and diversity of meso- and macroplastics, which are the main sources of plastic pollution in nature due to inadequate or improper waste management strategies. Indeed, certain relationships and interactions related to the disposal of waste into the natural environment instead of proper waste collection points have spread like a virus and led to the formation of behavioral patterns. This study is based on the fundamental premise of the impact of "observational learning'," a social-cognitive approach and "peer influence" on the variety of meso/macro plastic unknowingly left on campus area and visualizing the distribution of plastic pollution in this environment. As the most important finding of this study; It has been observed that the dominant polymer structures in all points are plastic packaged products consumed by students due to their proximity to classrooms/offices/markets/canteens, cigarette butts due to their tobacco use habits, and wet wipes due to their fast hygiene habits. The peak period for waste generation was determined to be October, known as the mid-term exam period, and the busiest area was identified as the roadside seating areas. FT-IR analysis of the most commonly recorded meso- and macroplastic parts revealed the order of polymer structures by density: PET, PE, PP, and PMMA. The findings, supported by visual data, are intended to raise awareness of sustainability goals and highlight the need for environmental education programs. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the need to support youth through various initiatives that exemplify ecological practices to encourage the adoption of sustainable solutions and urge authorities to take immediate action.

In this study, it is aimed to examine the environmental literacy of Sivas Cumhuriyet University students in terms of different variables. The environmental literacy scale consists of four sub-dimensions: knowledge sub-dimension, attitude sub-dimension, environmental behavior sub-dimension and environmental perception sub-dimension. Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was applied to determine which test to use in the evaluation of the data. T-test was used for two-category variables with normal distribution, and ANOVA test was used for variables with more than two categories. The Mann Whitney U test was used for the two-category variables that did not show normal distribution, and the Kruskal Wallis H test for the variables with more than two categories. In addition, in pairwise comparisons of normally distributed data, Tukey test was used if the groups had homogeneous variance, and Welch test was used if there was no homogeneous variance. 15.8% of the students are 1st grade, 35.3% are 2nd grade, 15.8% are 3rd grade and 33.1% are 4th grade students. In the study, students were 13.07±2.70 from the knowledge sub-dimension of the environmental literacy scale, 70.53±9.08 from the attitude sub-dimension, 41.41±6.34 from the environmental behavior sub-dimension, and 10.76±1.87 from the environmental perception sub-dimension. In the study, it was concluded that environmental literacy sub-dimensions differed significantly according to different variables such as gender, class, age, and place of residence, but it was not affected by some variables such as mother's working status, education status, income level.

In the present study a theoretical framework (i.e., Climate Change Literate Citizenship) that combines climate change literacy and climate citizenship was developed first. Then, criteria that correspond to each of the components of the proposed theoretical framework were developed and used to analyze the learning objectives in the “Environmental Education and Climate Change” curriculum. Data analyses utilized in the study presented a snapshot of the descriptive landscape of the curriculum in terms of the distribution of the objectives within the curriculum. Manifest and latent analyses realized through MAXQDA 2022 software were used to illustrate world cloud and word trends and alignment of the curriculum objectives with respect to the criteria developed for the Climate Change Literate Citizenship framework. Findings showed that there was an uneven distribution of the learning objectives within the Climate Change Literate Citizenship framework. Most of the learning objectives aimed to support climate change literacy, where objectives pertaining to the promotion of climate citizenship were relatively less in number. A similar uneven distribution was observed within the components of climate change literacy (i.e., functional, cultural, critical) and climate citizenship (i.e., personally responsible, participatory, justice oriented) as well. That is, there was not any objectives related to the cultural component of climate change literacy; most of the objectives aimed to develop functional component followed by the critical component. Among the components of climate citizenship, personal responsibility component and participatory component were addressed equally but there was only one learning objective that is in line with justice-oriented climate citizenship. Thus, our findings as a whole suggest that the curriculum adopts a fragmented rather than a holistic approach to climate change education. Nonetheless, further studies are required to make more robust conclusions about the curriculum and its practice.

This research was carried out to determine the effect of environmental education, received during the education process of the fourth-year students studying in the undergraduate program of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Bartin University, on the level of knowledge and awareness of environmental problems and environmental sensitivity. Based on the data obtained as a result of the survey conducted with 120 students enrolled in the program, it was determined that the awareness of the students towards the environment increased during the education process they received. It has been concluded that students who grow up in a family with a high education level have higher environmental awareness individually. Therefore, as it is clear that the threats, dangers and concerns about the environment will increase in the coming periods, it becomes clear how important it is to inform and raise awareness of the students, who will be the parents of tomorrow, about the environment, environmental problems and environmental education in order to increase the level of knowledge and awareness.

The present study analyzed the dissertations published at the teacher training level in Turkey, including the socio-scientific environmental issues, with descriptive content analysis. The "socio-scientific" was used as a keyword, and 118 dissertations published in the Council of Higher Education Thesis Center database until November 2021 were accessed. Sixty-six (not at the teacher training level) and twenty-nine (not including socio-scientific environmental issues) dissertations were excluded from the analysis. Twenty-three dissertations were analyzed based on the publication year, type (master/doctoral), participants, socio-scientific environmental issues used in the dissertation, and the methodology of the dissertation. Dissertations with experimental research methods were also examined in their learning approach and dependent variables. The results showed that dissertations whose topic socio-scientific environmental issues at the teacher training level were published between 2008 and 2021, and the highest number of dissertations took place in 2014 and 2019. master and doctoral dissertations had a close percentage to each other. Nuclear power plants/nuclear energy were used as the most frequent socio-scientific environmental issue. The survey research design was preferred more than experimental research in the dissertations, and argumentation was used commonly as a learning approach. One unexpected result was the absence of a dissertation whose participants were preservice chemistry teachers. Preservice science teachers were mainly selected as participants in the issertations, there was no dissertation whose participants were pre-service chemistry teachers. Socio-scientific issues cover chemical topics. Interestingly however, no dissertation has been conducted on socio-scientific environmental issues related to chemistry at the level of preservice chemistry teachers.

The aim of this research is to examine the thesis studies on wetlands in the context of education and training in Turkey. In the research, the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research designs, was used. The National Thesis Center database of the Council of Higher Education was used to determine the thesis studies on wetlands to be included in the research. Thesis studies on wetlands were reached on January 5, 2023. Three thesis studies, which were reached by writing the word "wetland" in the thesis scanning area and the word "education and training" in the subject area, were included in the sample. In the examination of thesis studies; The year it was published, the type of thesis, the university and institute where it was published, the research topic, the research method and the study group were taken as basis. According to the results of the research, the number of thesis studies on wetlands in the context of education and training in Turkey is low, the theses published are prepared by Gazi, Hacettepe and Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, the thesis studies are mostly prepared by educational sciences institutes, and the thesis studies are mostly quantitative researches. It was concluded that the study group of the theses consisted of secondary and high school students, wetland studies and 2018 science curriculum. In addition, it has been determined that the thesis study topics are related to the problem solving method in protecting wetlands, the factors affecting the tendency to protect wetlands, academic studies including wetland destruction and its importance in terms of environmental education.

Environmental issues are the problems that harm the life of living things that arise when people destroy natural habitats of them. World resources continue to run out rapidly and environmental conditions that in the world continue to deteriorate at alarming speed. Today, it is important to educate people about dealing with problems which they meet and finding solutions to them. Environmental education is the process of teaching everything that needs to be known about the nature, resources and sustainability of our planet and recognizing potential environmental problems and learning how to solve them. Since 2018, "Early Childhood Environmental Education" course has been lectured in the pre-school education undergraduate program. The aim of the research is determining the views of preschool teachers about environmental education and environmental problems; examining the academic awareness and social sensitivity levels of preschool teachers in terms of the various variables. The descriptive survey model has been used in the study. The sample has been created by two hundred preschool teachers working in various provinces of Türkiye. Data has been collected using the scale whose name is "Environmental Issues and Environmental Education Survey". The arithmetic mean, percentage and frequency calculation of the obtained data has been prepared by using the SPSS software. As a result of the analysis; it has been found that teachers who are members of non-governmental organizations have higher social sensitivity to environmental problems and it has been observed that teachers living in big cities have higher social sensitivity to environmental problems than teachers living in small cities. At the same time, it has been determined that the academic awareness of preschool teachers who receive environmental education is higher than others. Participants have stated that they have implemented environmental education from the preschool education program on students or group research projects and field trips. The other important points mentioned in the study are: the overuse of natural sources both in Türkiye and the world as the most important environmental problem and society's awareness of environment can be enhanced via TV and radio.

Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim yılında Kastamonu ilinde öğrenim görmekte olan toplam 720 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen, “Yakın Çevre Farkındalık Testi” kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler analiz edildiğinde öğrencilerin belirlenen yaşam alanları ile ilgili farkındalık düzeylerinin düşük olduğu, bununla beraber yakın çevrelerinde bulunan çeşitli bitki, hayvan ve mantarlar ile ilgili farkındalıklarının ise orta düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler il merkezindeki öğrencilerin yaşam alanlarına ilişkin farkındalık düzeylerinin ilçedeki öğrencilere göre istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek olduğunu, benzer şekilde ilçedeki öğrencilerin yaşam alanlarına ilişkin farkındalık düzeylerinin de köyde bulunan öğrencilerden anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Öğrencilerin bölgede yaşamını sürdüren canlılar hakkında farkındalık düzeyleri incelendiğinde köyde yaşayan öğrencilerin hem il merkezinde hem de ilçe merkezinde yaşayan öğrencilere göre farkındalık düzeylerinin anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. İl ve ilçe merkezlerinde yaşayan öğrenciler arasında bölgede yaşamını sürdüren canlılar hakkında farkındalık düzeyleri açısından anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır.
