The study was conducted in the academic year 2021-2022 among 65 students studying in primary schools located in the central region of Erzincan province. As a case study, the study was designed according to qualitative research methodology. An analysis of the data was conducted using the Vignette technique. The researchers developed short stories with naturalistic content and asked students to answer questions such as &quot;what would you feel?&quot;, &quot;what would you think?&quot;, and &quot;what would you do?&quot; Content analysis was used to analyze the data. From the content analysis, it was concluded that the students&#039; answers were related to the use, importance, protection, limitation, and exhaustibility of resources in all the awareness, attitude, and behavior dimensions. Despite the fact that students were highly aware of natural resources on a variety of dimensions, it was concluded that some of their awareness did not translate into attitudes or behaviors. However, some positive attitudes did not appear to be reflected in behavior. Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that students&#039; natural resource knowledge, awareness, attitudes, and behaviors were lacking on a number of different levels.</p></abstract>
