Purpose- It is clear that researches on stakeholders of education
contribute to responsible living in order to better understand the current
situation and design sustainability.
Identification of problems will contribute to the solution of problems
of educational stakeholders. Education on responsible leaving is a learning
process that increases student's knowledge and awareness and prepares learners
to change their attitudes, then behaviors. Although there is a great deal of
research on students, few empirical research attempts have been made to search
environmental awareness of teachers and
school managers who are most
powerful stakeholders for bringing changes in education system.
Methodology- This paper will be an attempt to study an
environmental awareness of teachers and school managers in private schools by
their demographical qualities. In order to stimulate debates that demographical
qualities influence teachers and school managers environmental awareness, a
total of 418 teachers and managers
were selected and an environmental
awareness scale was employed to assess their
knowledge, attitude and behaviors.
Findings- The results of the research show that there is
significant difference between demographical qualities of school
managers/teachers and their environmental awareness in terms of knowledge,
attitude and behaviors.
Conclusion- Based on these researches
findings, institutions should do more to promote environmental awareness
programs in teacher education curricula by taking into consideration teachers
and administrators demographical qualities. Instead of transmissive teaching methodologies, it is expected that
institutions start to use new techniques
like transformative methodologies that
go beyond the teaching method to also reflect the philosophy and purpose of
sustainability education.
