COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Type Elective
Course Objective The aim of this course is to support students in developing their environmental identities and critically evaluating the relationship between humans, nature, and society. The course also aims to help students gain a sense of responsibility toward nature, society, and future generations. It seeks to contribute to the development of students as individuals who can interpret environmental problems in harmony with national and moral values, consider the common good, think based on evidence, and make responsible decisions.
Course Content This course addresses environmental identity as an important dimension of the relationship individuals establish with nature, society, and future generations. Within the scope of the course, the theoretical foundations of environmental identity are examined through the dimensions of belonging, values, attitudes, responsibility, and behavior. The relationship between humans, nature, and society is discussed in the context of environmental awareness, environmental ethics, sustainable living, consumption habits, wastefulness, protection of shared living spaces, environmental justice, climate change, preservation of natural and cultural heritage, local environmental problems, and environmental decision-making processes. The course aims not only to help students recognize environmental problems, but also to question the causes of these problems, compare different perspectives, analyze the relationship between knowledge and values, and become aware of their individual and social responsibilities. Within this framework, the course offers content that is compatible with national and moral values such as the consciousness of stewardship, respect for nature, moderation, avoiding wastefulness, solidarity, compassion, protection of shared living spaces, and responsibility toward future generations. During the course, it is planned to support students’ critical thinking, reasoning, and responsible decision-making skills through case studies, classroom discussions, short reflective writings, local environmental observations, and activities for developing solution proposals.
