In order to solve environmental problems, it is thought that education should be connected with values. For this reason, it is emphasized that environmental issues should be integrated with ethical and aesthetic values. In this study, 6th, 7th and 8th grade science and technology curriculum and textbooks were investigated to find out how much environmental ethics and environmental aesthetics were mentioned in the topics related to environmental education. In the study, a descriptive methodology had been followed; the data were gathered through document analysis and analyzed in line with the determined themes. The themes related to environmental ethics are respect, value, responsibility, participation and compensation. For environmental aesthetics the aesthetic aspects of the visuals, the emphasis on the beauty of nature and the harmony between pictures and the topic were assessed. At the end of the study, it was found that both in the curriculum and in the textbooks environmental topics are generally explained through a nature-centered approach. However, it was seen that environmental ethics and aesthetics were not mentioned enough. It was determined that responsibility and participation elements of environmental ethics were emphasized but respect, value and compensation elements were neglected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Çevre problemlerinin çözümünde, eḡitimin deḡerlerle birleştirilerek verilmesi gerektiḡi düşünülmektedir. Bunun için, çevre konularının etik ve estetik deḡerlerle sentezlenmesi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; fen ve teknoloji dersi 6-8. sınıf öḡretim programı ve ders kitaplarında, çevre eḡitimi ile ilgili konularda çevre etik ve estetiḡine ne kadar yer verildiḡi incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, betimsel bir yöntem benimsenmiş, veriler doküman analiziyle toplanmış, belirlenmiş temalar doḡrultusunda analiz edilmiştir. Çevre etiḡi ile ilgili temalar; saygı, deḡer verme, sorumluluk, katılım ve telafidir. Çevre estetiḡi ile ilgili olarak ise, görsellerin estetik yanı, doḡanın güzelliḡine yapılan vurgu ve resimler ile konu arasındaki uyum deḡerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda; hem programda hem de ders kitaplarında, çevre konularının aḡırlıklı olarak "doḡa merkezli bir yaklaşım" ile islendiḡi belirlenmiştir. Ancak, buna raḡmen çevre etiḡi ve estetiḡine yeterince deḡinilmediḡi görülmüştür. Fen ve teknoloji 6-8. sınıf öḡretim programı ve ders kitaplarında çevre etiḡinin sorumluluk ve katılım unsurları üzerinde durulduḡu, saygı, deḡer ve telafi unsurlarının ihmal edildiḡi belirlenmiştir.
