Assessment of opinions and attidues of vocational school students toward environmental problems: The Case of Vocational School Ortaca

Abstract

Global environmental problems dating back to industrial revolution in 1850 are threatening the nature. Assessing environmental sensitivity of individuals and creating environmental awareness are required to ensure the sustainability of nature and natural resources. The study was carried out to determine the attitudes of Ortaca Vocational School students toward environment, and to develop recommendations to enhance their environmental consciousness. In this context, a questionary with 17-question was prepared and the survey was conducted with 284 students. The response to questions was evaluated separately. Results indicated that participants are sensitive to the environment and environmental problems, but their attitudes and behaviors toward the environment are not sufficient. It is recommended that individuals be educated on the subject matter as early as pre-school and continued throughout schooling. Keywords: Environmental awareness, Environmental problems, Environmental attitudes and behaviors
