    (International Association of Educators, 2010) Eryaman, Mustafa Yunus; Okur, Emel; Cetinkaya, Zeynep; Uygun, Selcuk
    Contemporary nature education is exploring different ways to develop awareness for change and initiate action. Such educational activities go beyond creating understanding and awareness in order to develop a sense of commitment for individual and collective action. This participatory action research study aimed to improve teachers’ sensitiveness towards nature, and to achieve environmental literacy and sustainability by inspiring community action and educational opportunities that support sustainable and thriving environments for a Community-based Eco-pedagogy. The study further explores the possibilities of helping the adults -through communication and collaboration with each other and their communities to reevaluate and discover the diversity and importance of their surrounding environment while utilizing pedagogical strategies which will involve the participants to the indepth study of the nature, history, the culture, the traditional customs, and the natural environment

    The impact of John Dewey on the teacher education system in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008) Uygun, Selcuk
    This study discusses the impact of John Dewey (1859-1952) on Turkey's teacher education system. In so doing, it heavily relies on the commissioned report The Report and Recommendation on Turkish Education prepared by Dewey in 1924. This paper documents Dewey's ideas about teacher education in Turkey and analyses their take up in practice. Based on the research findings, it could be argued that Dewey had a considerable impact on the transformation of teacher education system in Turkey. His most visible impact was best observed in the policies and practices in the training of village teachers. The Village Institutes Project, launched in the early 1940s to introduce a model specific to Turkey, was extensively based on Dewey's recommendations. In the Republican Era, Dewey's ideas and thoughts on education have been eagerly observed and implemented by Turkish authorities, who have openly recognised his competence and authority in the field of education. His impact on Turkish education system is still visible as the present policy makers make reference to his works.
