Abstract

Children’s books are among important variables that contribute to raising children as individuals sensitive to environment through providing aesthetic experiences. The purpose of this study is to analyze literary children’s books in the context of how they reflect environmental issues. The data sources of the study included the books covering environmental issues and first published in 2014 or 2015. The data were collected through document analysis that is a qualitative research method and were analyzed descriptively. As a result of the study it was seen that the analyzed books cover many topics related to environmental pollution and that environmental pollution is caused by lack of education, unawareness or insensitivity mostly for economic or arbitrary reasons. According to the books, everyone from administrators to large companies and local administrations is responsible for environmental pollution. The study showed that children and women are more sensitive to environment. The books of which the content is supported with quality visuals make children feel future problems and their solutions through the use of a literary language and in a way appropriate for the age and development of children. ÖzetÇocukların çevreye duyarlı bireyler olarak yetişmelerinde katkı sağlayacak önemli bir değişken de etkisini estetik yaşantı sağlayarak gösteren çocuk edebiyatı yapıtlarıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yazınsal çocuk kitaplarını çevre sorunlarını yansıtışı bağlamında incelemektir. Çalışmanın veri kaynağını, 2014-2015 yıllarında ilk baskıları yapılan çevre sorunları konulu kitaplar oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman incelemesi yoluyla toplanmış, betimsel olarak çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda incelenen kitaplarda çevre kirliliğine ilişkin birçok konunun ele alındığı ve çevrenin; eğitimsizliğin, bilinçsizliğin ve duyarsızlığın bir sonucu olarak çoğunlukla ekonomik ve keyfi nedenlerle kirletildiği saptanmıştır. Kitaplara göre, çevre kirliliğinden yöneticilerden zengin şirketlere, yerel yönetimlere kadar her kesimden insan sorumludur. Çevreye karşı özellikle çocuklar ve kadınlar daha duyarlıdır. İçeriğin nitelikli görsellerle desteklendiği bu kitaplarda gelecekte yaşanacak sorunlar ve bu sorunların çözüm yolları da yazınsal bir dille ve çocuğun yaş/gelişim düzeyine uygun biçimde duyumsatılmıştır.
