چکیده

این مقاله به بررسی تأثیر آموزش محیط زیست مبتنی بر تئوری ارتباط­گرایی بر میزان یادگیری مفاهیم محیط زیستی و ارتباط با طبیعت دانش ­آموزان پایه ششم ابتدایی می ­پردازد. روش پژوهش در این مطالعه، شبه آزمایشی با پیش آزمون ـ پس آزمون و گروه کنترل می­باشد که با استفاده از نمونه­ گیری خوشه ­ای تصادفی، تعداد 55 نفر از دانش ­آموزان دختر پایه ششم ابتدایی ناحیه سه آموزش و پرورش شهر کرمانشاه در سال تحصیلی 94-93 انتخاب و به شکل تصادفی در دو گروه آزمایش و کنترل قرار گرفتند. ابزار اندازه­ گیری متغیرها، آزمون محقق ساخته یادگیری و همچنین مقیاس استاندارد ارتباط با طبیعت نسبیت و همکاران (2009) بود. روایی ابزار اندازه­ گیری متغیرها در دو بعد روایی محتوایی و صوری، توسط 5 نفر از متخصصان و پایایی ابزار یادگیری با استفاده از روش آزمون مجدد و محاسبه ضریب همبستگی قابل قبول، و پایایی پرسشنامه نیز به روش آلفای کرونباخ با در نظر گرفتن میزان ضریب همسانی درونی داده­ ها در حد خوبی برآورد و تعیین گردید. تجزیه و تحلیل داده­ ها با استفاده از تحلیل کوواریانس، با در نظر گرفتن متغیر کمکی (پیش آزمون)، نشان می­ دهد که بین آموزش مبتنی بر تئوری ارتباط­گرایی نسبت به روش مرسوم مدارس، بر میزان یادگیری مفاهیم محیط زیستی (008/0=Sig)، و ارتباط با طبیعت (000/0=Sig)، دانش آموزان تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد و روش ارتباط­ گرایی مؤثرتر می­باشد.

چکیده [English]

This paper investigates the effects of environmental education based on Connectivisim Theory on sixth elementary school graders’ environmental learning concepts and their contact with nature. The methodology used in this paper is quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest and control group. Using random cluster sampling method, a total of 55 female sixth graders from Kermanshah Third Education District in 93-94 academic year were selected and randomly assigned to experiment and control groups. The variables were measured using a learning verified test and the standard scale was in contact with nature by Nisbett et al (2009). Validity of measurement tools was confirmed by five experts and reliability of measurement tools was ruled admissible, using re-test and calculating correlation coefficient while the reliability of questionnaires was confirmed by Cronbach Alpha given internal consistency coefficient of data. Analysis of data using covariance analysis given the auxiliary variables (pretest) suggests that there is a significant difference between Connectivisim-based education and the conventional educational methods in schools in terms of learning environmental concepts (sig=0.008) and contact with nature (sig=0.000) which indicates the Connectivisim method, is more effective.
