The Development of Environmental Motivation Scale at Secondary Schools and Analysis of Different Variables of Students' Motivation Towards Environment2019 •
This study aims at developing Secondary School Environment Motivation Scale (SSEMS) in order to analyse the motivations of the students for the environment in terms of gender, grade, socio-economic level. The data were collected from 677 secondary school students to develop the scale and 1775 secondary school students for the survey study. SSEMS was developed as16 items, on three-point likert scale and two dimensions (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation). The results of the research show that the general environmental motivation and intrinsic motivation of female students is significantly higher than the male students. There was no significant difference in the environmental motivation levels of female and male students in terms of extrinsic motivation dimension. When the relationships between the students' grade and their environmental motivations are examined, it is revealed that as their grades increase, all motivation levels (general, intrinsic and extrinsic) of students towards environment decrease. Moreover, there is not substantial correlation between the students' socio-economic levels and general environmental motivations. However, as the socio-economic levels of the students increased, their intrinsic motivation increased significantly, and their extrinsic motivations decreased significantly. The gradual change of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as to gender, class and socio-economic level is discussed at length in the article.

Environmental Education Program Based on the Perception and Preference towards the Environment for Elementary School Children2020 •
Environmental education's objective is to change a person's attitude and behavior toward the interaction with the environment. Education is a process that is not short term, which means education has to begin as early as possible. This study aims to design and create destination-specific attributes of an environmental education program based on the perception and preference towards the environment for elementary school children. Data were collected with three methods of collecting. First, to collect the data on the perception and the preference of the elementary school children, a questionnaire was distributed to 120 children. Second, interviews were conducted to the management of the company to collect information on the environmental attractions available in the area, and to gather information on the company's policy towards environmental education. Lastly, a field observation was conducted to obtain the necessary information on the condition of the area as well as to create suitable tracks for this program. All data were analyzed and synthesized using descriptive analysis. It is found that although the perception and preference towards the environment for the school children are not significantly different, the aspects of the perception which are cognition, affection, and conation differ among the class groups. From these results along with the result of the field observation, this study suggests destination-specific attributes environmental education programs designed for the elementary school children.

A Comparative Study on Pre-Service Teachers' and Elementary Students' Attitudes towards the Environment2007 •
It has been aimed to compare the environmental attitudes of teachers and teacher candidates and to present the importance of environmental education in teacher training. The sample of the research includes 605 final year students attending undergraduate programs of pre-school education and child development education in the universities of Konya, Ankara, Afyon, and Denizli provinces during 2008-2009 academic year and 300 pre-school teachers attending National Education Ministry In-service Training Programs conducted in Yalova, Aksaray and Rize provinces during 2008-2009 academic year. “Environmental Attitude Scale” has been used as the data collection tool. According to t-test and MANOVA results, it has been determined that teacher candidates got higher scores than pre-school teachers in terms of the total results of environmental attitude scale, and particularly the sub-factors “Importance of Field Trips in Environmental Education” and “Environmental Conservation Activities”. Also, it has been stated that the difference between the scores of teachers and teacher candidates taken from the sub-factors “Requirement of Education for Environmental Problems” and “Environmental Pollution and Conservation” is not significant. In the light of the findings, researchers and practitioners have been provided with suggestions.
