摘要：AbstractThis study focuses on the importance of using out-of –the school learning environments in values education. A case study, one of the qualitative research designs, was employed in this study. A group of 55 students was formed with the second and third year students of the Faculty of Education, and science centres (Feza Gürsey Science Centre) and museums (Rahmi Koç Science Museum, Ataturk's Mausoleum- historical museum) were chosen for application as out-of-the-school learning environments in the application process. Categorical analysis was performed in the analyses of the data. The research results demonstrated that definition category was used most in the value of aesthetics; results category was used most in sensitivity to cultural heritage, and examples category was used most in patriotism category. Besides, scientific, solidarity and aesthetic values were further explained through examples after the application. Following the application, it was observed from students’ answers that definitions were usually replaced by results and examples. This showed that out-of-the-school learning environments contributed to the process of students’ concretizing their knowledge.
