“…These studies show the condition of school ground or campus were within the objective measurements of physical activity (Cradock, Melly, Allen, Morris, & Gortmaker, 2007). For instance, children in small schoolyards were more active (Ozdemir & Yilmaz, 2008), and children in large school grounds were healthier (Özdemir & Çorakçi, 2010). Furthermore, factors have been identified to encourage effective physical activity.…”

“…Furthermore, factors have been identified to encourage effective physical activity. These factors include the impact of the size and type of the schoolyard, fixed outdoor and extra equipment (Fjørtoft, Kristoffersen, & Sageie, 2009;Ozdemir & Yilmaz, 2008;Sallis et al, 2001;Verstraete, Cardon, De Clercq, & De Bourdeaudhuij, 2006), recess time in school (Ridgers, Carter, Stratton, & McKenzie, 2011;Ridgers, Stratton, Clark, Fairclough, & Richardson, 2006), green areas (Dyment, Bell, & Lucas, 2009;Lindholm, 1995;Sobel, 1993), improvements in school environment (Haug, Torsheim, Sallis, & Samdal, 2010), paintings in school ground (Ridgers, Stratton, Fairclough, & Twisk, 2007;Stratton & Mullan, 2005), availability of balls, and school size (Zask, van Beurden, Barnett, Brooks, & Dietrich, 2001). …”

Children need to play outdoors to develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Outdoor play opportunities have the potential to promote physical and mental health throughout the life of children. Outdoor play has been acknowledged as a primary right for children; therefore there is a need to create spaces, where children can go and play spontaneously every day. Regarding to where the outdoor play of children takes place is significant; school grounds, as a place for children to learn and promote their health, could be assumed as a key setting that enhances and contributes to outdoor play guidelines. It requires making awareness and evaluation of current school grounds referring to outdoor play requirements. Four school grounds were selected as case studies in Tehran to be evaluated by School Environmental Audit Tool (SEAT). The survey shows a lack of proper consideration in the design and maintenance in the current situation of these important sites for children. At the end, some recommendations were proposed in order to outdoor play provision in accordance to current school grounds of Tehran.

“…In Ukraine, particularly in Lviv region, the largest sources of nitrogen and phosphorus pathways into surface water are agriculture (fertilizers, manure, sewage) [2], and municipal wastewater. Especially difficult is a situation requiring wastewater, having high concentration of ammonium nitrogen, phosphates and organic matter from swine complexes equipped with wash water of manure disposal, to be discharged into open water bodies.…”

Abstract.1 This work reviews the main methods of nitrogen and phosphorus removal from wastewater. The method of simultaneous removal of highly concentrated nitrogen and phosphorus was analyzed by physical and chemical precipitation, forming struvite, a by-product of magnesium ammonium orthophosphate hexahydrate. Laboratory investigations were conducted on the test solutions with the concentrations of ammonium nitrogen, phosphates, ions of magnesium and calcium corresponding to the ones of relevant elements in wastewater of swine complexes located in Lviv region, Ukraine. The analyses were done at various molar ratios of magnesium and phosphate ions and at various pH values. The comparative thermal analysis of chemical precipitation products and pure struvite was performed. The optimal conditions were identified to experience the maximum efficiency of simultaneous removal of ammonium nitrogen and phosphate ions from wastewater, forming MgNH 4 PO 4 ·6H 2 O. Recommendations on the use of the obtained product as a fertilizer were elaborated.

“…Bahçe türleri birbirleri ile terim olarak bire bir uymamakla birlikte içerik olarak benzer tanımlamaları kapsadığı gözlenmektedir. Araştırmalarda çoğunlukla okul bahçesinde; sanat, müzik ve gösteri çalışmaları alanı (kameliye tipi), fen eğitimi çalışmaları alanı (bitki yetiştirme, deney, gözlem, sulama), küçük hayvanat bahçesi (tavuk, köpek tavşan gibi hayvanların bakımı, beslenmesi), trafik kurallarını öğrenme alanı, çocukların sergi alanı, kum havuzu, aktif ve serbest etkinlikler için çim alanı (koşma, top oynama, zıplama, geleneksel çocuk oyunları vs.), öğretmenlerin ve ebeveynlerin çalışma, deney, gözlem ve oturma alanı bulunması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır (Başar, 2000;Collyer ve Irvine, 2001;Fisman, 2001;Pickard, 2002;Corson, 2003;Özdemir ve Yılmaz, 2008 …”

Öz: Bu araştırma, okul öncesi eğitim kurumları bahçelerinin mevcut özellikleri ve uygulamaları, okullarda nitelikli bahçe olmasının önündeki engeller ve öğretmenlerin bahçe ile ilgili katılmak istedikleri mesleki eğitim alanlarını incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini 2014-2015 eğitim öğretim yılında Ankara ve Muğla il merkezlerinde bulunan Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı'na bağlı bağımsız anaokulu ve ilkokula bağlı anasınıfında görev yapan okul öncesi öğretmenleri oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Ankara ve Muğla il merkezlerinde bağımsız anaokulu ve ilkokula bağlı anasınıfında görev yapan 56 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmuştur. Araştırma, genel tarama modelinde olup, veri toplama aracı olarak öğretmenlerin okul bahçelerine ilişkin görüşlerinin incelenmesi amacıyla ilgili yurt içi ve yurt dışı alan yazın incelenerek araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan anket formu kullanılmıştır. Anket formu genel bilgiler, okulların bahçe özellikleri ve uygulamaları, okullarda bahçe olmasının önündeki engeller ve öğretmenlerin bahçe ile ilgili katılmak istedikleri mesleki eğitim alanları bölümlerinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacı doğrultusunda elde edilen verilerin analizinde; betimsel istatistiksel yöntemlerden frekans ve yüzde dağılımları kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, okulların yarsının bahçeye sahip olduğu, okul bahçelerinin çoğunda otlar, yabani habitat ve süs bitkilerinin yetiştiği, öğretmenlerin yarıdan fazlasının okul bahçesini etkinlikler için kullandığı ve bu etkinliklerin çoğunlukla oyun, hareket, fen ve alan gezisi etkinlikleri olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca okullarda nitelikli bahçe olmasının önündeki engeller çoğunlukla bütçe yetersizliği ve alan yetersizliği olarak belirtilirken öğretmenlerin bahçe ile ilgili katılmak istedikleri mesleki eğitim alanlarının okul öncesinde bahçe temelli öğretim, dış mekân sınıf yönetimi, bahçede dil ve matematik eğitimi konuları başta olmak üzere beslenme eğitiminde bahçe kullanma, bahçede bilim ve İngilizce eğitimi olduğu görülmüştür.Anahtar Kelimeler: Okul öncesi eğitim kurumları, okul bahçeleri, okul öncesi eğitim Abstract: In the study, it is aimed to reveal current features and practices of the gardens of the preschool education institutions, the obstacles to being qualified gardens in the schools and professional trainings related to the gardens which the teachers want to participate in.
