Examining the Influence of Projects Carried Out With Technological Tools on Pre-Service Teachers’ Levels of Environmental Literacy
(Scientific Methodical Center, 2016) Artun, H.
In all parts of our daily lives, individuals meet technology and technological tools. For this reason, individuals from all professions should be knowledgeable about these concepts. One of these professions covers pre-service teachers, who are considered as to be future teachers. The aim of this research was not only to examine the influence of the projects carried out by science pre-service teachers with technological tools on their levels of environmental literacy, but also to reveal which of the innovator categories in Rogers’s (1962) Theory of Diffusion of Innovations they belonged to. In the research, the mixed research design was used since qualitative and quantitative data were required. The research sample included 110 science pre-service teachers. All the science pre-service teachers constituted the quantitative sample, while 10 randomly selected pre-service teachers formed the qualitative sample group. In the research, environmental literacy scale, semi-structured interview technique and researcher reflections were used as the data collection tools. It was found that the science pre-service teachers belonged to the categories of “Innovators” and “Early Adopters” according to Roger’s theory in terms of technology use. © 2016, Scientific Methodical Center.

(International Electronic Journal of Environmental Education, 2018) Artun, H.; Özsevgeç, T.
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the environmental education modular curriculum on secondary school students’ academic achievements and on their conceptual understanding. In the study, the case study method was used. The research sample included a total of 23 7 th grade students (12 male and 11 female) who were determined with the purposeful sampling method and who were attending a secondary school in the city center of Gümüşhane at the time of the study. In the study, as the data collection tool, achievement tests and semi-structured interview questions were used. In order to reveal whether there was a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest achievement tests, t-test, one of parametric tests, was applied. According to the results of the analyses, the environmental education modular curriculum had positive influence on the secondary school students’ academic achievements as well as on their conceptual understanding. © 2018, International Electronic Journal of Environmental Education.

A Study on the Evaluation of the Applicability of an Environmental Education Modular Curriculum
(IJESE, 2016) Artun, H.; Özsevgeç, T.
The purpose of this study was, in line with the views of the students & teacher, to examine Environmental Education Modular Curriculum (EEMC) developed to give environmental education with a specific content. In the study, the case study method was used. The research sample was determined with the purposeful sampling method & made up of 23 7th grade students (12 male & 11 female) attending a secondary school in the city of Gümüshane. During the application of EEMC in 11 weeks, the data were collected with Semi-Structured Interviews (SSI), Environmental Activities Evaluation Questionnaire (EAEQ), Environmental Education Self-evaluation Form (EESF) & the Constructive Learning Environment Questionnaire (CLEQ). The research data were analyzed with content analysis & frequencies, & the related categories & themes were formed. In the study, it was found that EEMC not only included a content which met the students’ needs & which allowed them to produce solutions to environmental problems but also had the quality of a dynamic modular curriculum. © 2016 Arman, Syamsul Bachri Thalib, Darman Manda.
