Abstract | The aim of this study is to determine the views of biology and science teachers regarding biomimicry. Phenomenology, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to obtain data for the purpose of the study. The study group consisted of 19 teachers who work as biology and science teachers in public institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Ankara. Criterion sampling was preferred in the selection of the study group since interviews were conducted with teachers who met certain criteria. A semi-structured interview form titled "Biology and Science Teachers' Views on Biomimicry Interview Form," prepared by the Researchers, was used as the data collection tool in the study. The interviews conducted during the implementation process of this research were carried out both face-to-face and online. The data in this study was evaluated using the content analysis method. The results obtained in the study showed that teachers were familiar with the concept of biomimicry, but some teachers experienced conceptual confusion. At the same time, this study revealed that when teachers used biomimicry for various purposes in their lessons, it made multifaceted contributions to the lessons and students. In addition, teachers made suggestions for biomimicry to be included more in textbooks, curriculum, printed and digital resources, teacher trainings and student workshops. |
