FOSTERING PROCESS FORMATION SKILLS THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF CHILDREN TO NATURE IN FUTURE EDUCATORS
In an era marked by the increasing disconnect between children and the natural world, the role of educators in bridging this gap is becoming ever more critical. This scientific article explores the concept of process formation skills and their development through the introduction of children to nature in future educators. We delve into the theoretical foundations of process formation skills, discuss the importance of nature-based experiences in education, and provide insights into how educators can be equipped to nurture these skills in the next generation. By emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between nature and education, we aim to highlight the significance of integrating nature-based learning into teacher preparation programs.
