“…Out of the four comparative analyses of students in relation to gender, we could find a significant difference only in one analyses, remaining results conclusively suggest that the education level minimizes the effect of gender on environmental awareness. The present finding is in line with some of the earlier studies, for example, Morgil et al [52] noted that though computer-assisted teaching increased the level of information of both female and male students concerning the subject of the environment, in the pre-test a significant difference between males and females was not observed. Other researchers also did not find a significant difference in environmental awareness between women and men [53][54][55][56][57][58].…”

“…Consequently, according to the results of this study, generally pre-service teachers had positive attitudes towards the computer aided education environment. This result also supports the findings of previous studies (Cepni et al, 2004, Morgil et al, 2004) which obtained the same or similar results in terms of achievement or attitude. On the other hand, there are many studies showing the positive effects of the computer aided instruction in geography, mathematics, biology, etc.…”

“…In pedagogical knowledge, the conception of new ideas is as important as the applications themselves. Most importantly, teaching techniques that are developed involving technological tools and applications offer great opportunities for educators and students (Morgil et al, 2004;Solem et al, 2003). At the global level, developed countries are more advanced than developing countries in terms of computer assisted learning (Munyavi, 2011).…”

The main aim of this study is to highlight the importance of computer assisted instruction in environmental education. Recently, the importance of environmental education in many countries has begun to increase in parallel with environmental problems. This has led to increased interest in environmental education. The fact that computers were the most important invention of the 20 th century is reflected in the fact that computer assisted instruction has been put into practice in all fields of education sciences. The research was done in the Department of Primary Teacher Training, Education Faculty, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University in the 2012-2013 academic year. According to the results of the analyses, the attitudes of prospective teachers' towards computer assisted instruction in environmental education are positive. However, the female prospective teachers attached more importance to computer assisted environmental education than the males.

“…Nevertheless, there exist research papers evaluating environmental education programmes where the specimen shows a change of attitude towards certain environmental issues (Mangas et al 1997) while the possibility of computer use to achieve this change is emphasized (Morgil et al 2004). The application of the educational software Recycle-Land as an environmental education programme in a 6th grade Primary School showed an important increase of student knowledge about the waste management issue.…”

In the following research paper, we discuss an educational action research that was carried out in order to investigate students' knowledge, attitudes and views in relation to understanding, managing and solving environmental problems in connection with recycling, before and after implementing an environmental education programme that utilised the "Recycle-Land" educational software. The objective of using this s oftware application was to make students view waste management problems as genuine problems of the environment to which they themselves are related. Exploiting Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education based on social constructionism, it becomes possible to approach environmental education in a holistic manner whilst avoiding to isolate students outside the general framework within which it take place. Student activities lead to concept formation, theory and practice come together, teaching, learning and evaluation become integrated and active problem solving is encouraged. This educational software application -through a user-friendly and familiar interface -makes it possible for students to realize the environmental and financial benefits of recycling and hence, as modern citizens, act to promote the viability and sustainability of the planet.
