The Perceptions of the Children Attending the Preschool Education about Nature and Nature Pollution
International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, v15 n1 p53-64 Sep 2022
The perceptions of 20 preschool children about nature and nature pollution were investigated. Data were collected through interviews and by studying the children's drawings. The results show that most children perceived nature together with living things. The children expressed that nature was most polluted with garbage and that all living things would be harmed in case of nature pollution. Children emphasized behaviors toward a sustainable environment to protect and not spoil it. Teachers should provide children with opportunities for environmental education through real-life experiences in nature-friendly settings and include their families in these educational activities.
