Abstract
This case study was carried out to determine the opinions of prospective science teachers about zero waste project. The study group of the research consists of 67 prospective teachers studying in the science education department at one university in Konya, Turkey. When the research results are examined, it is seen that the awareness of the science teacher candidates about the purpose and scope of the zero waste project is not sufficient. Most of the teacher candidates experience a lack of information about the zero waste project. The teacher candidates, who stated that they did not participate in any scientific activity related to the zero waste project, do not believe that this project has achieved its purpose. The results of the research show that informing about the zero waste project is not enough, many teacher candidates will graduate without having sufficient awareness. As researchers, we think that information about the scope, purpose and implementation steps of the zero waste project should be included more in education curricula, TV programs and scientific activities.
Highlights
Environment is the setting where living and non-living beings interact and live together in a balanced way (Erten, 2012)
The aim of this study is to investigate the awareness and knowledge of science teacher candidates about the zero waste project
The second question directed to knowledge about the zero waste project, science teacher candidates is “Do you what is the source of this knowledge (TV, have any knowledge about the zero waste scientific activity, school etc.)?” The project?” The answers given by the answers given by the teacher candidates teacher candidates and the frequencies and the frequencies and percentages obtained from these answers are given in Knowledge (TV, Scientific Activity, School etc.)?
Summary
Environment is the setting where living and non-living beings interact and live together in a balanced way (Erten, 2012). The Zero Waste Project that includes many goals such as providing clean environment and ensuring increase the performance of this environment and productivity, ensuring the reduction of risks for the squandering, costs and environmental health, ensuring that conscious consumers are raised was integrated into educational institutions. The aim of this study is to investigate the awareness and knowledge of science teacher candidates about the zero waste project. In this way, it will be determined whether the curriculum of education faculties, science education departments, gives importance to zero waste awareness or not. The case study was used in this research to investigate the awareness of science teacher candidates about the zero waste project. An interview form was used to determine the awareness of science teacher candidates about the zero waste project.
