The questionnaires were found both reliable and valid. The teachers’ level of awareness is captured in three categories: low awareness, awareness, and high awareness. One worrying trend identified in the narrative is that in some units of the Army, not much is done to ensure adequate military environmental management. Stockholm: Stockholm In Borneo and Sumatra, another forest animal, the orang-utan, is under threat for the same reason. Environmental Issues Environmental issues are indeed everyone’s concern. The scope of the field includes issues from public health protection to aesthetics, and from the impact on business development to the development of legislation, standards, regulations, and guidelines, to their enforcement and environmental protection. Bu çalışmada, ortaokul öğrencilerinin çevre sorunları, çevre sorunlarının nedenleri ve çevre sorunlarının çözümüne yönelik algılarının ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır.

Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and North American Association for Environmental Education under grant NA06SEC4690009). This is threatening the survival of many animal species, for example the jaguar. Differences are considered in turn of: the role of national policy, and classroom practice. The purpose of this research is to enhance our understanding of environmental approach in green container development in ports. Environment ethics is the discipline in Philosophy that studies moral relationship of human to environment. Middle school environmental literacy instrument. Responses to these items were content analysed to establish a military environmental narrative covering military environmental attitude, military environmental behaviour and military environmental knowledge. Environmental problems 5.1. The authors describe relations in these responses between the problems, Results were obtained using the participatory approach and contact and collect method as per Applied Behaviour Analysis Approach (Skinner, 1937 and Geller, 1994). Consistent with theories on attitudes, environmentally responsible behavior was more strongly connected with willingness to make sacrifices than with attitude toward the environment. Gözlem gezisi uygulaması öncesinde; çoğu öğretmen adayının çevre ile ilgili yeterli bir tanım yapamadığı görülmüştür. The possi-ble solutions mentioned here all give weight to the tragedy of the commons (Hardin, 1968) as a primary cause of environmental problems. Results showed that school type and gender had a significant effect on the collective dependent variables.

It might also undermine social welfare and equity in an unprecedented manner and generally, global warming poses a significant potential threat to the future economic wellbeing of large numbers of human beings [35]. In this research, i-Sustainability Plus is introduced as a theory to create Blue-Green Ubiquitous cities as modern sustainable and liveable urban areas. Data gathered at first and final week of the field trip were compared in a qualitative approach using content and frequency analysis. Very few of the students used scientific expressions such as air, water, soil and noise pollution. An instrument, the Environment Literacy Instrument for Korean Children (ELIKC), was developed that measures four different dimensions (knowledge, attitude, behaviour, and skills) using 69 items and 13 demographic variables. The green, sustainable situation gets affected negatively by the trade system which increasingly demands more natural sources. Middle school environmental literacy instrument. Three instruments were used in the study: The Environmental Awareness Questionnaire, a semi-structured observation form and a semi-structured interview form. If people do not know what things are harmful to the environment, how can they respect it? Strategies for overcoming such constraints are now being evaluated. The authors conducted a national survey of 6th- and 12th-grade students in Israel to evaluate their environmental literacy, including the dimensions of environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Öğrencilerin görüşme sorularına verdikleri yanıtlardan hareketle elde edilen kodlar; “çevre sorunları”, “çevre sorunlarının nedenleri,” “çevre sorunlarının görüldüğü yerler,” “çevre sorunlarına yönelik çözüm üreticiler,” “çevre sorunlarının önlenmesine yönelik öneriler” şeklindeki beş tema altında toplanmış ve sunulmuştur. Besides of greenhouses gas, variations in the Earth's orbital characteristics, atmospheric carbon dioxide variations, and volcanic eruptions, variation in solar output, and plate tectonics, thermohaline circulation are responsible for climate change [33. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the military environmental literacy (MEL) of members of the South African Army. While the literature has talked about sustainable and green port criteria, there is a gap in the literature about the green container port terminal criteria. Environmental knowledge was significantly related to parental education level, and to participants' environmental attitude, beliefs, affect, and behavioral commitments. By comparison, participants' scores on the behavior subscale were significantly and substantially correlated with their environmental affect ( r =.45) and intentions ( r =.46) suggesting that environmental intentions and affect might serve as good predictors of commitment to environmental friendly behavior. of. Tbilisi to Ahmedabad: The journey of environmental education. Özet Bu çalışmanın amacı, gözlem gezisi yönteminin öğretmen adaylarının çevreye ve çevre eğitimine ilişkin görüşlerine olan etkisinin belirlenmesidir. The ELIKC was administered to 969 Year 3 students from large cities, medium‐sized cities, and rural areas. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu bir devlet ortaokulunda 5., 6., 7., ve 8. sınıfta öğrenim gören 61 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. The gas is released from burning of fossils fuels and other unsustainable forms of energy. These correlations, however, were low ( r =.17 to .33) indicating a definite but rather small relationship between these variables. Over the last few decades, it is an irrefutable point that the environment is exposed to many dangers. In the data analysis, number, percentage, average and standard deviation as descriptive statistical methods were used. This seminal study evaluated the overall impact of an environmental education program on students, parents, and the community. The number of people (population size) 2. This article addresses the discourse of Israeli academics, policy makers, and environmental activists regarding the environmental implications of population growth in Israel. Twenty-five units were selected proportionally from the seven formations in the Army for the survey among their members. A four-month survey was conducted in two sites in West Bengal-a large ox-bow lake in Kalyani, Nadia, and a water-body in Mukundapur, South 24 Parganas, to assess the impact of human behavior on these water-bodies. There have been a lot of efforts being put by the parties who are interested and concerned to limit the damage done to the environment around the world as well as to raise public awareness around the world. Case studies and analyses of daily problems and dilemmas were integrated within the module the Quality of Air around Us, which was designed and developed specially for this research. Knowledge and use of environment friendly products, agreeing to, promising and acting to dispose the wastes through prescribed drains or designated places were found to be the human behaviours responsible to enhance the water-bodies conditions. The environmental consequences of this emission are calamitous in the developing countries. endstream endobj 147 0 obj <>stream The findings revealed that students found social, personal, and wilderness survival sessions to be very meaningful. This study has aimed to reveal the perceptions of middle school students about environmental problems, and their causes and solutions. This research aims to determine cognitive structures about environmental pollution of pre-service science teachers and their perceptions of the most important environmental pollution in their lives. Lastly, environmental literacy of the students has three broad dimensions of blended environmental attitude and sensitivity, pro-environmental behaviors and environmental knowledge. In this research, both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used together. Experimenting as against planning leverages McGreggor's theory 'y' which anchors on the principle of 'self-fulfilling prophesy' as it fosters employees' self-confidence to exercise discretion, initiate creative innovative actions and remain protected in event of unintentional mistakes.

Tilbury, D., & Walford, R. (1996). Environment Institute. legislation, and enforcement. Environmental engineers have the necessary skills to address these issues and improve the quality of life of humans and other living things in an effective, sustainable, and economical manner. Statistical analysis was performed on each of the scales that make up the ELIKC and a multivariate analysis of variance was performed to identify the variables that affect environmental literacy. society—problems that threaten our existing patterns of social organization and social thought. This broad-based assessment considered the effects of increased coal use on air quality, water quality and availability, local public services, public and occupational health, and national economics. Rigorous and focussed initiatives with practical training in order to preserve our planet should start as early as possible and carry on throughout the educational curriculum. Gözlem gezisi uygulaması sonrasında ise; öğretmenler gezi öncesindeki yetersiz görüşlerinin aksine doğal afetler, biyolojik çeşitlilik, ormansızlaştırma, hava kirliliği, toprak kirliliği, su kirliliği, gürültü kirliliği, altyapı yetersizlikleri, kimyasal atıklar, tarımsal aktiviteler gibi etmenlerin çevre sorunlarına yol açabileceğini belirtmişlerdir. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of an environmen- tal education program on the students and the island community of Molokai, Hawaii. This study is potentially significant for practitioners as well as academics. Analysis results showed that “social susceptibility” and “general susceptibility” level of the participants was high whereas “academic susceptibility” level of the participants was very high. Waste has become a critical problem throughout the world, and it needs to be managed appropriately. Grounded theory: Defying the dominant paradigm in environmental education research. 51-64).

Based on the example above, his parents are highly intellectuals, but do not necessarily guarantee that they will inherit their children [3]. The codes obtained from the answers given by the students to the interview questions were gathered and presented under five themes, which had all been previously determined: "environmental problems", "reasons for environmental problems", "places where environmental problems are observed", "problem solvers for environmental problems", "suggestions for the prevention of environmental problems". Deforestation. According to the data obtained from the word association test, environmental pollution was put into four categories. In this research, Blue-Green Ubiquitous cities are introduced as a key to gain new concept of urban living. The quantitative research design, specifically, the non-experimental descriptive-correlational design was used to determine the students’ level of environmental knowledge and sensitivity, identify the students’ environmental attitudes and behaviors, and determine the correlation between students’ environmental knowledge, attitudes, sensitivity, and behaviors. Focused on and organized around environmental issues, this innovative new book helps you critically evaluate possible solutions to the environmental problems we now face.

There was a substantial relation between environmental attitude, willingness to make personal sacrifices, and environmentally responsible behavior. A qualitative methodology with a grounded theory approach was used to discover which areas of the program were most meaningful, most confusing, and most interesting to the students. Stockholm: Stockholm Environment Institute. The authors administered a 3-item instrument that was based on the minute paper/muddiest point techniques to 2,779 students from 31 schools. climate change, ocean acidification, eutrophication) that learners could experience, connecting them with sustainable development issues (sustainable consumption and production, renewable energies etc). The obtained data has been analyzed using content analysis method. Secondary school environmental Rapid population growth, regulating industrialization, increasing demand and globalization, technological development and science should be part of the solution rather than the problem factor. I attribute this to the embeddedness of the Israeli environmental community within wider Israeli society. Elements of these cycles that are already included in the science/chemical curriculum and textbooks intended for formal education in Greek secondary schools were thoroughly reviewed and on the basis of the gaps and needs identified new didactic materials were produced. The didactic materials were designed in order to enhance comprehension of the biogeochemical cycles (of water, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur) and include educational content and guidance to achieve ESD goals including strengthening of students’ environment-friendly attitudes and commitment towards sustainability. These ranges from heat waves, wildfires, flooding and prolonged droughts. Halocarbons (being lighter than other gases in the atmosphere) rise much higher in the atmosphere.

Describes the nature of environmental education research in the 1990s, and comments critically on the focus and quality of inquiry in this field with a view toward improvements in the new millennium. One way to make this happen is to put weight on environmental education in the formal education programs. The results of the research have revealed that the perceptions of students about environmental problems, and their causes and solutions are very limited. This research work takes a qualitative research approach with semi-structured interviews conducted involving with participants. Qualitative research design has been adopted in the research, in which the study group consists of 61 students studying at 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade in a state middle school. Many of the environmental problems being experienced are a result of human contributions, such as excessive waste, industry pollution and overpopulation. Acid rain can be defined as rain or any other kind of precipitation that is unusually … A 45‐item Likert‐type questionnaire consisting of four dimensions, namely, awareness of environmental problems, national environmental problems, solutions to the problems and awareness of individual responsibility, was used to measure students’ environmental attitudes. The materials clarify the function of the cycles supplementing chemical knowledge and scientific information relevant to the real world phenomena and conditions (e.g. This article describes research on scientific question-posing capabilities among 10th-grade students who were studying air quality in a cooperative way, using the jigsaw method. The present article (Part I of the research) focuses on the aim, content and design of the didactic materials while in Part II, assessment of their impact on the knowledge and attitudes of students is presented. As an interdisciplinary environmental scientist, Norman Myers has been a pioneer in identifying and looking for solutions to some of the world s major environmental problems. After field trip, preservice teachers put forward such environmental problems including natural disasters, biological diversity, deforestation, air pollution, soil pollution, water contamination, noise pollution, deficiency of infrastructure, chemicals and agricultural activities. National environmental literacy assessment project: Year 1, national baseline study of middle grades students. Fortunately, it seems as if these units are in the minority. Although several enclaves of households exist on the Molokai, the island (38 miles at the longest points, and 8 miles at the widest) tends to be a "community."

The Environmental Awareness Questionnaire was administered to all students in the study as a pretest and as a posttest. Solutions to Environmental Pollution. Students who are more knowledgeable about the environment have strong sensitivity and attitudes but do not necessarily have strong pro-environmental behaviors. Most of the explored cognitive and affective aspects appeared to act as predictors of environmental behavior. The vast majority of students have stated that environmental problems are the problem of throwing garbage on ground. In the Amazon rainforest in particular, trees are being felled at an alarming rate to provide more land for agriculture. They thought orienteering and environmental science sessions were confusing. The greenhouse gas emissions have been the primary contributors to global warming. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a new 9th grade biology curriculum on students’ environmental awareness. Similarly, pre-service teachers wrote mostly air and water pollution as the most important environmental pollution. Based on authors' researches, Blue-Green infrastructure based on environmentally friendly, green strategies, sustainable water management, and ubiquitous services focusing on digitalization and high technologies are required to make a modern world. It deals with next generations and other living creatures that inhabit the earth. In this paper we analyse some possible reasons of influencing the environmental knowledge and perceptions of English and Mexican school children (aged 7-9). (2004), students from the department of medicine identify the most important three environmental issues as air pollution (37.5%), waste issues (36.2%) and destruction of forests (30.6%). This study focuses on understanding the factors that encourage adults’ environmental behavior. The success of waste management primarily depends on education. Air Pollution. Secondary school environmental literacy instrument. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of school type (private and public) and gender on sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth grade students’ attitudes toward the environment. Fundamentally, i-comprehensive strategic urban plan and i-sustainability plus are introduced as keys to design Blue-Green Ubiquitous cities. A total of 1497 students (n = 765 girls; n = 715 boys; and n = 17 gender not provided) attending public (n = 603) and private schools (n = 892) located in Ankara participated in the study. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies were employed (including student, parent, school personnel, and community member interviews). Results showed that the student completers of K-10 grade levels have moderate level of environmental literacy and environmental knowledge and behavior and high level of environmental attiude and sensitivity. After the treatment, 10 students from the experimental group were interviewed using a semi-structured interview form. This research is based on experience of Prof. Dr. Doost Mohammadian on sustainability such as cooperating with Danish Sustainable Platforms Company, working with Erasmus+ as an academic leader in Germany from 2017, cooperating with Copenhagen's former mayor and researching on sustainability .
