标题:An Assessment of Pre-service Teachers’ Attitudes toward Books on Environment and, Relationship between Attitudes and Environmental Behaviours; Environmental Thinking
摘要:Environmental education is of great importance in the prevention of environmental issues and creating a healthy environment For this reason, the factors that play a role in the formation of primary school teachers’ attitudes toward the environment need to be studied in depth. In this study, primary school teachers’ attitudes towards reading books on environmental issues and their environmental behaviors and thinking have been investigated. The “Environmental Attitude Scale” developed by Uzun ve Sağlam (2006) and “Attitudes towards reading books on environmental issues” developed by Kahyaoğlu (2010) scale were used. 16:00 SPSS packet program was utilized to analyze the data. In this study, teachers’ attitudes towards reading books are analyzed in light of the three variables: (i) programs or majors they are attending, (ii) gender and (iii) types of high schools they have graduated. The results show that student teachers’ attitudes towards reading books on environmental issues show significant variances across gender and the program type, but no significant variance was found in relation to type of high school.
