| The current research examined the effectiveness of four-week nature-based education programon young children’s affinity toward nature (biophilia). The sample of the study is comprised of 40preschools children between the age of 60 to 66-month-old residing in Mersin, Turkey. Children’sbiophilic tendencies were measured before and after the intervention to gauge the effect of their regularinteraction with nature and play in such an environment. Children’s biophilia were measured using avisually supported scale that included both biophilic and non-biophilic items. A quasi-experimentaldesign with one group pre-test and post-test design were employed to measure the difference in biophilictendencies before and after the intervention was given. The results showed that a short-term, naturebased education program in a natural area was effective in terms of increasing children’s affinity towardnature. The improvement in children’s level of biophilia after the implementation of the program wasstatistically significant. |
