Özet
In the contemporary world, rapid technological advancements, increasing urbanization, and industrialization have exacerbated environmental issues. Addressing these challenges necessitates cultivating sensitive and conscious individuals. Within this scope, the \"Children Learning the Language of Nature\" project was implemented from October 5 to 9, 2020, targeting preschool children with limited exposure to nature education. Conducted in various natural settings in Afyonkarahisar, the project involved 20 children and featured 41 diverse activities spanning drama, art, music, mathematics, and Turkish. These activities aimed to familiarize children with the natural environment, enhance their environmental awareness, and support their cognitive development. To evaluate the children's fundamental skills and environmental attitudes, the Preschool Children’s Basic Skills Scale and the Children's Attitudes Towards the Environment Scale were employed. The findings demonstrate the significant role of nature education in early childhood, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers. This study underscores the importance of fostering environmentally conscious and sensitive children while serving as a foundation for the development of future educational programs. Moreover, it highlights the critical role of nature education in supporting holistic child development.
