“…Even if there has been a sharp decrease in study number at this field as of 2021, it can said that study numbers until 24-25 April, 2022 when the research was done has remained high compared to the past years. Pandemic (COVID-19) could be pointed out as one of the important reasons along with so many basic reasons for the decrease in study number published in 2021 (Aladağ et al, 2021;Grabowska & Saniuk, 2022). However, it draws attention that there has been a remarkable decrease on study numbers regarding nature and environmental education when considering the start ranges of the Covid-19 pandemic.…”

“…In this regard, the importance of nature education is growing day by day to understand and recognize nature and to leave a livable world to future generations. Nature education aims to know nature in the natural environment and to benefit from what nature offers as educational subjects, materials and tools (Aladağ et al, 2021). On that sense, it is important to use as education materials what nature offers (Keleş, 2011).…”

“…When examining researches regarding the field studies in nature and environmental education, it is seen that there are many studies from the past to the present (Aladağ et al, 2021;Bogner, 2002;Bogner & Wiseman, 2004;Dresner & Gill, 1994;Hazelworth & Wilson, 1990;Jickling & Wals, (2008), Krasny & Tidball, 2012;Kruse & Card, 2004;Wells, 2000).…”

The aim of this study is to present studies on nature and environmental education in related literature from 1977 to the present time by using bibliometric method. Nature and environmental education, which has an increasing popularity especially in the last years, gain a place in so many countries’ teaching policy. Thus, increasing number of scientific studies and researches on this field in the related literature draw attention. In this study, publications in nature and environmental education have been examined both bibliometrically and in content, and their distribution by years, institutions, journals, citations and the features of co-works have been presented with descriptive and visual maps. Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database has been used in obtaining data. “Nature education” and “Environmental education” terms were scanned with the aim of reaching highest number of studies from database. A total of 1312 publications have been included in study through various filtering processes. Bibliometric analysis techniques have been used in data analysis. VOSviewer programme has been used in determining the network analysis of those data obtained. In the study, the distribution of publications by years, the authors with the most publications, the journals, institutions and countries with the most publications have been determined. Besides, those data obtained have been discussed in the light of related literature by forming visual maps together with co-author, co-citation taken together, co-word and co-citation analyses. At the end of the study, some suggestions have been provided in the light of findings obtained.

“…They also begin to visually recognize numerals, tracing and writing numerals in order, and so on (Bender & Beller, 2012 ; Moeller, Pixner, Zuber, Kaufmann, & Nuerk, 2011 ). In the Western navigational niche, children begin their transformation into spatial reasoners by acquiring linguistic terms for frames of reference, engaging with games, nature‐based education, traversing spaces, and manipulations of graphics depicting spatial relations (Aladağ, Arıkan, & Özenoğlu, 2021 ; Ekiss, Trapido‐Lurie, Phillips, & Hinde, 2007 ; Milkova & Pekarkova, 2021 ). Importantly, as we discuss in greater detail in Section 4 , the capacity for abstract reasoning about space is related to children interacting with and learning to manipulate simple maps (Uttal, 2000 ).…”

We propose an account of cognitive tools that takes into account the process of enculturation by which tools are integrated into our cognitive systems. Drawing on work in cultural evolution and developmental psychology, we argue that cognitive tools are complex entities consisting of physical objects, representational systems, and cognitive practices for the physical manipulation of the tool. We use an extensive case study of spatial navigation to demonstrate the core claims. The account we provide is contrasted with conceptions of cognitive tools that simplify cognition, in particular that they offload cognitive work, or that the tools themselves are temporary developmental scaffolds or props. Enculturation results in transformed cognitive systems, and we can now think and act in new ways with cognitive tools.

“…One study designed to investigate the ability of children aged between 7 and 10 to read map signs and find direction using a compass revealed that orienteering help children acquire such skills as reading maps, using a compass, and finding direction in the field Walsh, Martland and Steward, 1990a;Walsh, Martland and Steward, 1990b). Scientific studies into the development of map skills and compass use skills in orienteering have recently grown in number across Turkey (Arıkan and Aladağ, 2019;Aladağ, Arıkan and Özenoğlu, 2021). Furthermore, we also know of studies showing that orienteering significantly contributes to developing mental skills in children which they can use in understanding the space concept (Cataldi, Bonavolontà and Fischetti, 2021).…”

Bu araştırmada, 01.01.2005 ve 31.05.2021 tarihleri arasında Oryantiring konulu lisansüstü tezlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Belirlenen kriterlere göre Yükseköğretim Kurumu Ulusal Tez Merkezinde 36'sı yüksek lisans ve 3'ü doktora tezi olmak üzere toplam 39 adet tezin var olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında durum çalışması deseninden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak doküman incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan tezlerin %84,6'sının 2011 yılı ve sonraki yıllarda yapıldığı belirlenmiştir (n=33). Tez çalışmalarının ağırlıklı olarak spor ve sağlık alanında yapıldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca eğitim bilimleri, bilişim ve mühendislik alanında yapılmış çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmalarda sporcu sağlık ve performansı, oryantiring sporunun yararları ve eğitime katkıları, sporcu ve öğrencilerde mekânsal düşünme becerisi, mekân algısı ve harita becerilerinin gelişimi gibi konular ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca yön bulma probleminden hareketle az sayıda da olsa yazılım tabanlı formüller geliştirmeye yönelik çalışmalar yapılmıştır. İncelenen tezlerde ulaşılan bulguların ağırlıklı olarak eğitim öğretim, spor bilinci, mekân algısı, yön bulma becerisi ve harita becerisi alanında olması oryantiring sporunun eğitim ve öğretimle olan yakın ilişkisine dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışma oryantiring konulu lisansüstü tezlerin ilk kez birarada incelenmesi açısından önemlidir.
