“…The emotional aspect was found correlating with many of the other aspects in students' perceptions of their learning. Our findings, in line with Loughland et al (2003), showed furthermore that students' emotions toward their learning in the outdoors and the content of ESD relate in a positive way. Working in the outdoors helped reaching the educational goals of ESD such as participation, cooperation, problem solving, and ethical reflection through the cognitive, emotional, practical and social aspects as described in experiential holistic learning theories (cf.…”

This article presents results from a Swedish exploratory study investigating perceptions of the learning experiences related to education for sustainable development (ESD) by students 10-12 years old. A comprehensive questionnaire with both open and closed questions asking for the students' cognitive, emotional, practical, social, and situated learning experiences was developed. The empirical material consists of the responses from 209 students from six schools. The schools were selected to get a variety of both school programs regarding ESD and outdoor education activities. The results reported here reveal relationships between areas of students' learning experiences, mainly between the cognitive, emotional, and social areas. Comparisons between the schools illustrate different approaches to teaching as well as the students' diverse perceptions of these practices. The questionnaire developed for the project proved to be a valid instrument for researching the relationships and complexities in ESD learning, thus demonstrating its potential for use in future studies.

“…These findings implied that the cognitive and affective aspects of learning are inter-related (Manni et al, 2013). In Loughland, Reid, Walker and Petocz (2003), students' emotional relations toward the environment were similarly seen as a factor influencing their conceptions of the environment.…”

“…Yurt dışı literatür incelendiğinde, daha çok çevre sorunları hakkında çocukların düşüncelerini inceleyen araştırmalar bulunmaktadır (Boyes & Stanisstreet, 1998;Jeffries, Stanisstreet, & Boyes, 2001;Loughland, Reid, Walker, & Petocz, 2003). Littledyke (2004), küçük yaşlardaki öğrencilerin çevre kavramını duymadıkları, duysalar bile ne anlama geldiğini bilmediklerini ifade etmektedir.…”

This study aims to analyze the students who have started first grade after finishing the preschool period in relation to their extent of knowledge, awareness and attitudes about recycling within the context of environmental education. The study also focuses on whether or not there are differences especially between students who have received preschool education and those who have not. Causal-comparative relationship was used in this study. The study was carried out with 120 first grade students at six different primary schools in the city center of Kilis. As the data collection tool, a questionnaire including open ended questions was used in the study. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive content analysis methods. Results showed that almost all of the students claiming to know the meaning of the recycling sign proved to be those who had preschool education. In general, results of this research show that first grade students who had preschool education developed higher awareness and attention on recycling compared to those who did not have preschool education. It can be concluded that having preschool education are important for development of first grade students' knowledge, awareness and attitudes towards recycling and environmental friendly attitudes.

“…People lack real world understanding about the overall natural processes and cannot make real world application of what they are learning (Cobern, 1988). In a quantitative study (Loughland, Reid, Walker, & Petocz, 2003), 2,000 students, ages 3 to 17, were asked to give their conceptions of the environment. The study revealed that the majority saw the environment as separate from themselves: a place that included living plants and animals but was essentially distant.…”

“…These activities gave students a real world understanding about the overall natural processes that could be applied toward environmental knowledge (Cobern, 1988). The living plants and animals of an ecological world were not in a separate, distant place but were rel¢vant and relational to the lives of the students (Loughland, Reid, Walker, & Petocz, 2003).…”
