The Understanding of Global Warming and Learning
Styles: A phenomenographic Analysis
Demirkaya, Hilmi. Educational Sciences: Theory and Practive 8.1 (January 2008) 51:58
P henomenography uses qualitative data to iden-
tify variation and similarity in participants under-
standing of the phenomena they have experienced. It
focuses on collective and common conceptions
or ways of understanding the world. Developed at
the Universtative research method, was defined as
a research method for mapping the qualitatively
different ways in which people experience, conceptu-
alize, perceive and understand various aspects of, and
phenomena in, the world around them by Marton
(1986, p.31).
Beliefs, values, morals, culture and time de-
termine the number, nature and boundaries of each
category of description (Marton, 1981).According to
Marton (1988), ct-oriented categories focus on the
meanindescribe the phenomenon (Marton, 1981).
Marton and Booth (1997) suggested three key cri-
teria for a descriptive set of categories. According to
Bowden
(1994), revealing of the experience and language used
are very significant in explaining the experience
while the subjects are describing the conceptions. The

The aims of this study are to examine how
the prospective juniour primaryachers perceive the
conceptions of global warming; determine if there is
a significant association between genders
of the prospective teachers and their perception of
the conceptiopectiveteachers learning style
of global warming.
Participants
Method
This study is about determining the learning styles
and global warming conceptions of third year students
who were enrolled in the Elementary Education De-
partment at Burdur Faculty of Education.In the data
collection phase, data were obtained from a total of
294 prospective teachers, 142 of whom (48.3%) were
female and152 of whom (51.7%) were male.
Data Collection Process The Learning Style Inven-
tory (LSI) developed by Kolb (1985) was adapted to
Turkish by Aflkar and Akkoyunlu (1993). The Turkish
version of the LSI was administered to participating
prospective teachers. Then, subjects were given a pa-
per including short andopen-ended questions in order
to determine howtheperceived global warming.
Subjects were asked to write a short paragraph about
their perceptionsof global warming on the paper pro
vided. This approach limited the participants in their
responses in terms of putting their own definitions
and expressions in an expository way. Participants
were contacted informally and their interest in the
research was encouraged. Data obtained from the stu-
dents were then evaluated by the phenomenographic
analysis method. On completion of the analysis,
seven (7) conceptions of the environment were found.
These findings obtained from the research are dis-
cussed in further parts of this paper and some possible
implications regarding classroom applications
are evaluated in detail.
Data Analysis Process
Participants were asked to write a short paragraph
composed of a few sentences on a piece of paper pro-
vided and this aons in a detailed and expository way.
In such cases, subjects asked the researcher to explain
the aim of the interview. Researcher interviewed
the subjects and he made the necessary explanations
related to the questions. Participants were contacted
informally and were encouraged to be interested in
the research. Inthis study, participants
were asked to write a short paragraph of several sent
about their perceptions of global warming.

 Firms Go Green in Cutting Emmissions: Local Tech
Firms Go Green
US Fed News Service, Including US State News; Washtington D.C. 26 Jan, 2011
In the grand scheme of things,
Silicon Valley emits just a tiny
fraction of the worlds greenhouse
gases.
Nevertheless, a coalition of major
Silicon Valley businesses, non-
profits and government agencies is
working to demonstrate that it is
possible to take on global warming
and make money while doing it.
According to a report coming out
today, 14 members of the coalition
known as Sustainable Silicon Valley
cut their carbon dioxide emissions
by 12 percent from 2000 to 2005.
Those emissions, which come from
burning fossil fuel, trap heat in the
atmosphere.
For comparison, Silicon Valley as
a whole -- defined by the group as
Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz
and Alameda counties -- reduced
carbon dioxide emissions by 2 per-
cent over the same period, largely
because the economy slowed after
the dot-com bubble burst.
They are doing it because it makes
good business sense. They are
saving a lot of money, said Sally
Tomliis the right thing to do and
because the public wants to see
them addressing this environmen-
tal issue.
The coalition started inMarch 2004,
