Açıklama

IndigenTerra was developed by Res. Asst. Yusuf Mert ÜSTÜN and Prof. Dr. Ali Osman KOCALAR to support indigenous knowledge and place-based learning processes in education.

Project Overview
This project was developed as part of the book chapter titled “Indigenous Educational Practices in the Outdoor Learning Approach,” featured in the edited volume Harnessing Indigenous Knowledge and Place-Based Learning for Sustainability.

Our Goal
IndigenTerra is designed to support the local adaptation of educational activities -whose theoretical foundations are outlined in the aforementioned book chapter- to diverse geographical and cultural contexts. The software provides AI-assisted guidance to educators and researchers, enabling them to thoughtfully integrate universal pedagogical methods with local knowledge systems and community-specific dynamics.

Technical Infrastructure & Open Source Commitment
Built on Google Gemini technology to enhance both user experience and development workflows, IndigenTerra embraces an open-source philosophy. The project’s source code is publicly available at: HERE
