The current
research studies the pedagogical actions in the various areas of the
sustainable kindergarten. Its aim is to investigate the views of the graduate
students- prospective preschool teachers on the pedagogical dimension of the
areas of the sustainable kindergarten. The survey was conducted from April to
June 2018. Case study was chosen as the main method, employing a questionnaire
as the main methodological tool. The selection of the sample was based on
random sampling. The sample of the survey consisted of 120 graduate students of
the Department of Sciences of Preschool Education and Educational Design of the
University of the Aegean in Rhodes (Greece).
The results of
the research show that the majority of students believe that the coloration of
a classroom, natural lighting, heating, natural ventilation and good acoustics
affect the pedagogical process. They also regard that in the preschool
teachers' office, paper should be used sparingly, they agree with the use of
recyclable paper only and equipment with modern electronic devices. Moreover,
they also agree on the electrical heaters, as well as the water heater, though,
they are energy-consuming. Regarding the auxiliary premises within the
building, they consider that they should have paper recycle bins and compost bins,
which indicates that they do not know exactly what their use and operation is.
They also think they should be cleaned and disinfected daily with chlorine,
which has negative effects. With regard to the multi-purpose room, they state
that they are necessary in the context of a sustainable school. As far as the
library is concerned, they think it should be located in a familiar and
accessible place for children. Finally, regarding the courtyard, they believe
that it should also be used for the implementation of pedagogical and
environmental activities, after taking care to protect kindergarten children.
