3. METHOD
Presentations were made to the students participating in the project within the scope of the determined topics. In the light of the presentations, students conduct research and share the information they have acquired with their friends in the classroom. Class concept maps have been created. Thus, it is ensured that students discover the factors that cause problems. The students have created the task responsibilities assigned to them within the scope of the activity themselves. Students from different countries have come together and designed various products to raise awareness about environmental pollution.
During the activities process, students were guided only according to their needs; their products were evaluated. The environmental education process has been closely followed with the evaluations made.
