According to these results obtained from the research, the teachers stated that the experiences learned submerged in nature and the environment will increase the students' learning by doing and experiencing the most, develop high-level thinking skills, concretize their learning, increase the adaptation of the students to the society and the social environment, and protect the students from possible negative interactions caused by technology. The results obtained from the research, teachers said that there should be a course in nature and environmental education programs, that the activities in nature and environmental education programs cannot be fully implemented due to seasonal and geographical locations, that teachers neglect or overlook the activities related to nature and environment in the education programs due to the anxiety of preparing the students for the exam, but that flexibility should be provided to the teachers in the application of such subjects in the education programs.
