A Study on Environment - Oriented Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior Level of Teacher Candidates
Abstract
The purpose of education should be to raise people who are researchers, developer, investigating what they find, use their knowledge in their behaviors and who can interpret and put new things on them. When children are being educated, the experience should be before the occurrence of the story. First, good and bad environment should be shown, then education should be provided through narration. In environmental education, young people should be given the chance to work in the organization. The goal should be to educate environmental literate individuals. The purpose of this study is to determine the social literacy and environmental literacy levels of the elementary school teacher candidates and to demonstrate the influence of various variables on the constituents of environmental literacy. The data show that candidate teachers' environmental behavioral tendencies are higher than environmental perceptual tendencies. Gender has no influence on behavior or thought.
Keywords: environmental literacy, environmental problems, environmental education, candidate teachers, affective tendency towards the environment, environmental behavior.
