Investigation of the environmental consciousness levels of teachers and administrators in Bitlis Province
Öz
One of the current and significant problems of this age is the issue of environmental pollution, which is growing day by day and causing the emergence of other problems. People's consciousness of environmental issues affects the continuation or solution of this problem. This research was studied to investigate the environmental consciousness of teachers and administrators working in schools in Bitlis, Türkiye. The study was studied with 783 teachers and administrators during the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. In the research, a "Demographic Knowledge Form" and the "Environmental Consciousness Scale" were used as data collection tools. Looking at some findings obtained from the research; it was determined that 89.02% of the participants were university graduates; 87.87% were teachers; 91.95% were not members of a non-governmental organization aimed at protecting the environment; 97.83% were interested in environmental issues, and most lived in a small city (78.29%). The level of environmental awareness has been assessed in the subdimensions of attitude, knowledge, and behavior. To determine the level of environmental consciousness, a Likert-type scale was used for analysis, revealing a high level of environmental consciousness (M = 3.81, SD = 0.33). As a result, it was determined that the participants were sensitive to the pollution in their environment and that although they had environmental knowledge and attitudes, they were deficient in turning it into behavior.
