Determination of Pre-Service Science Teachers’ and Pre-Service Social Studies Teachers’ Sustainable Consumption Behaviors and Knowledge Levels

Abstract

In the world, we face many environmental problems such as global warming, climate change, and pollution. However, the main reason of these problems is human behavior. Consequently, changing consumption behavior in daily life has big effect on future of our global. For this reason, changing consumption habits such as recycling, eating, traveling, purchasing and sustainable products are only parts of behaviors people can do for sustainable future. In addition, educating children is one of the most efficient ways in order to solve sustainable problems. The aim of this research is to determine the sustainable consumption behaviors of pre-service science teachers and pre-service social studies teachers and to measure the level of knowledge about the concept of sustainability. Results of the study showed that both pre-service science teachers, pre-service social studies teachers have positive sustainable consumption behaviors and enough sustainability knowledge level, even though pre-service science teachers are better. In addition, levels of income, class level and gender have significantly effect on behaviors and knowledge. There is positive and small relationship between sustainable consumption behaviors and sustainability knowledge level.
