Özet
Environmental pollution is a global problem. This problem is common in both developed and developing countries and attracts people’s attention because of its serious long-term consequences. Environmental pollution has become a focal point in recent years due to its negative effects on the stability of the ecosystem; recycling has become more important than ever before. This research aimed to determine the metaphorical perceptions of secondary school students about the concept of “recycling” and to reveal their awareness of “recycling” through drawings. For this purpose, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research models, was used in the research. The study group of the research consisted of 116 eighth grade students attending a secondary school in Adıyaman in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the study, density sampling type was used in the context of the heuristic approach. Study data were collected through standardized forms developed by the researchers; the qualitative data sources obtained were analyzed by content analysis method. At the end of the research, it was determined that the students who made up the study group had different metaphorical perceptions from each other. In this context, 9 categories were developed, and the most metaphors were produced in the category of “recycling as a perception of nature” among these categories. When the products left for recycling are taken into consideration, it has been determined that male students use recycling bins more actively than female students. © 2023, Milli Egitim.
