What this trial studies

This randomized controlled experiment uses a pre-test/post-test design with 5th and 6th graders from schools affiliated with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education. The experimental group will receive an educational program themed around nature and recycling that integrates creative drama activities and gamified learning, while the control group receives no intervention during the study period. Outcomes include changes in nature connectedness and observed or self-reported recycling behaviors measured before and after the program. Data will be compared between groups to determine whether the intervention produces measurable behavioral or attitudinal change.
