The results indicate that the physical learning environment in the organic school model contributes to the development of students' scientific process skills and their attitudes towards the lessons taught.My Jewish Learning is a not-for-profit and relies on your help Donate In addition, it was observed that the students liked the organic school model, their stress levels were low during the lessons, and they especially enjoyed the activities they performed in nature. As a result, a statistically significant increase was observed in the students' scientific process skills and positive attitudes towards the life science course.

Then, focus group interviews were conducted to obtain in-depth information about the education experienced by the students. a single group pre-test post-test design in the quantitative part of the research.
