摘要：This research will be covering the comparison of TED Ankara College IB and national program students’ attitudes toward environment, and their their levels of awarness in terms of this subject. The research also covers the variable of gender in comparison of levels of awarness and attitude toward environment between the students who are taking the IBDP ‘’ESS’’ course and who aren’t. The statistics in the research is obtained by ‘’Attitude toward environment scale’’ and ‘’Environmental awarness scale’’. The scales and the research had been done on 25 students from IBDP Turkish-Mathematics track, 45 students from IBDP Math-Science track and 39 students from the national program. The 109 students who had taken part in the research consists of 57 female and 52 male students. The findings of the survey show that there is a significant relation between students' attitudes toward environment and environmental awareness levels and gender, but there is not a significant difference of students’ attitudes toward environment and environmental awareness levels when the track and program variables are taken into consideration. Results also show that there is a linear correlation between the attitude toward environment and environmental awareness levels of both students in IBDP taking the "Environmental Systems and Societies" course and the students taking the national program curriculum. Findings put forth in the study are important for mirroring the levels of attitudes toward environment and environmental awareness levels of students who are taking an intensive environmental education in an international programme and of students who are taking environmental education in biology curriculum of the national programme. In the light of the findings of the investigation, importance of expert advice in the process of preparing curriculum about the environmental education and encouraging students to actively participate in the activities about environment is highlighted.
