Teaching 1st Grade Environmental Studies on the Elementary Level With Video Explanations

Abstract

In this chapter, the concept of flipped learning and teaching, explainer videos, and the criteria for the quality of their production is introduced. In this context, the focus was on tools for publishing video explanations intended for learning about the environment in distance education, which is the most used by classroom teachers. The goal of the research also presented in this chapter was to determine whether and to what extent teachers follow the established criteria when teaching remotely and designing guidelines for creating high-quality video explanations. Presented research demonstrated that teachers partially consider the criteria necessary for their quality when designing video explanations intended for the teaching of environmental learning in the 1st grade. Based on the literature studied and the research findings, guidelines for better video explanation production are listed at the end of this chapter.
