Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine whether the ecological footprint awareness of prospective teachers differ according to the variables of department and gender. This study was conducted on 318 third-year prospective teachers from the Departments of Pre-school, Turkish Language, Science, Mathematics, Guidance and Psychological Counseling, Primary School, Social Science and English Language Education at Faculty of Education. In this study, the "Ecological Footprint Awareness" scale was used as a data collection tool. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the data, one-way ANOVA was used to compare the departments and independent samples t-test was used for the gender variable. In the comparison made in terms of departments in the research, a significant difference was found in ecological footprint awareness in favor of prospective Science Education teachers. In some sub-dimensions, a result in favor of Primary School Education prospective teachers was obtained. In addition, the department that has the lowest ecological footprint awareness is Guidance and Psychological Counseling Education, while English Language Education and Mathematics Education have the lowest scores in some sub-dimensions. When examined according to the gender variable, a significant difference was found in ecological footprint awareness in favor of female prospective teachers. Suggestions were made about the findings obtained.
