“…Developing a conceptual framework is essential for bringing any story into the primary school's classroom as a tool for value education and encouraging sustainability [35]. For example, nature and the natural environment can be represented in different ways in folklore, with negative (e.g., being frightening) or positive (e.g., offering shelter or beauty) messages to humans and other species [36]. Stories are rememberable and entertaining [37]; they develop the landscapes of action and consciousness [38]; and in the form of a fairy tale, they can improve the language, creativity and self-expression of the students in the classroom [39].…”

Stories are considered to be the most popular form of lore, which can facilitate the moral and ethical deliberation of sustainability for our children. It is evident that children respond better to stories than any other form of communication. Once the stories end, the lessons remain. The values tangled with the lesson transmit as they grow. Stories have always been instrumental and the most conventional way of teaching values by using illustrations from our lives. The major aim of this paper is to explore the values expressed in Bengali childlore through stories and tales and develop a framework by using a scaffolding and mapping approach. This framework attempts to analyse two commonly recognised stories, namely “Shukhu and Dukhu” and “Jackal, The Judge”, by scaffolding them with the generally acknowledged principles of sustainability and mapping them to investigate how stories can influence children to build a pro-sustainability attitude. This approach has been chosen, as recent research already points out the issues in implementing sustainability in education, but no one has yet found the way forward. The premise at the core of this theoretical article is that an interdisciplinary approach and different pedagogical tools could help build the bridge towards implementing sustainability in education as well as in society.

“…Berat also examines how the environment is visualized in these folktales, noting the use of iconic elements such as trees, animals, rivers, and mountains. The study finds that the representation of environment in folktales is shaped by the cultural heritage of each society, as well as by the socio-economic conditions in which the tales were created (Berat AHI, 2014).…”

This research paper aims to explore the sociological and cultural implications of folk tales in the context of Shina community. The prime objective of the research was to investigate how folk tales influence Shina community and shape the behavior of people so that people, along with entertainment, can learn folk wisdom from folk tales and shape their lives. The study adopts a qualitative approach where data is collected from the book 'Dadai Sheloky', and then translated into English for the research purpose. The data were analyzed through Braun and Clarke's Six-phase Thematic Analysis Model. This model has six steps for the analysis of data and production of themes. The six meticulously selected Shina folk tales from the book Dadai Sheloky for research are, 1. Punishment for Stupidity, 2. An Honest King, 3. Dudushir Gao, 4. Pali Ga Mindok Khatoon, 5. The King and the Beggar, 6. Barayo Bal. The results indicate that traditional stories hold unspoken messages and lessons embedded within their sociological and cultural contexts. This study plays a crucial role in examining folk tales overall, with a specific focus on the Shina community. Folk tales serve as vital source of cultural and historical insights, and inspire us to aspire towards a better future guided by moral values.

“…Marriott (2002)'un araştırmasında da, doğal yaşamla ilgili incelenen 1074 resimli öykü kitabında, hayvanların doğal özelliklerinin yansıtılmadığı belirlenmiş ve bu tür kitaplar yoluyla çocukların doğa ile ilgili farkındalık kazanma olasılıklarının düşük oranlarda olabileceği vurgulanmıştır. Ahi, Yaya ve Özsoy (2014) 'un 1989-2002 yılları arasında dünyanın 9 farklı bölgesinde basılmış doğa ve çevre konularının incelendiği 15 halk masalı üzerine gerçekleştirdikleri araştırmalarında da, 6 halk masalının insan-doğa etkileşimini incelediği ve bu masalların 2'sinin doğaya karşı olumsuz davranışları içerdiği belirlenmiştir. Bahsedilen üç araştırma ile bu araştırmada incelenen bazı kitapların içeriklerinin çocukların olumsuz etkilenebileceği şekilde hazırlandığı belirlenmiştir.…”

Öz: Bu araştırmada, resimli öykü kitaplarında verilen doğal çevre mesajları eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla incelenmekle birlikte temelde okul öncesi dönemdeki çocuklara yönelik hazırlanmış olan kitaplardaki görseller ve metinler aracılığıyla verilen mesajlara odaklanılmaktadır. Görseller ve metinlerde yer alan doğal çevre mesajlarını inceleyen bu nitel araştırmada durum araştırmasıkullanılmıştır. Veriler doküman incelemesi yoluyla, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen 3 form yardımıyla toplanmıştır ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Bu amaçla, bir üniversitede yer alan çocuk kütüphanesindeki kitaplar incelenerek kopyaları çıkarıldıktan sonra, kitaplar ilk olarak doğal çevre ile doğrudan ilgili olup olmadığına göre, ikinci olarak da canlı-doğal çevre etkileşimi içerip içermediğine göre değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmacılar tarafından incelenen toplam 58 kitaba yönelik olarak elde edilen verilerin analizinden önce araştırmacılar geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları gerçekleştirmişlerdir. Veri analizlerinin sonucunda, yazarların ve çizerlerin resimli öykü kitapları aracılığıyla, okuyuculara verdikleri olumlu doğal çevre mesajlarının yanında, bilinçsizce de olsa, olumsuz doğal çevre mesajları verdikleri belirlenmiştir. Buna bağlı olarak, belirlenen hem olumlu hem olumsuz çevre mesajları açıklanmış ve bu mesajlar yoluyla çocuklarda oluşabilecek doğal çevre algılarına örnekler verilmiştir. Son olarak, resimli öykü kitaplarının yazarlarına, çizerlerine, yayınevlerine, bu resim kitaplarını kullanan okul öncesi öğretmenlerine, öğretmen adaylarına ve okul öncesi eğitimi alanında çalışan araştırmacılara tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.Anahtar Kelimeler: resimli öykü kitabı, görsel, metin, doğa, çevre, doğal çevre mesajı, okul öncesi Are lllustrations and Texts in Picture Storybooks Innocent? -Natural Environment Messages TransmittedAbstract: This study critically examines the natural environment messages given in the picture storybooks and it's primarily focused on the messages given through the illustrations and the texts of the books written for preschool children.
