The Awareness of Science and Social Science Prospective Teachers Regarding to Sustainable Environment

Abstract

It is a fact that education is a pre-requisite for a full understanding of the aims of sustainable development and for their becoming a life-sytle. If teachers who will educate students on sustainable development have an appropriate level of awareness before they have graduated from the relevant departments of faculty of education, this will increase the quality of education. Therefore in this study, it has been planned to determine the awareness of prospective teachers about sustainable development studying at Faculty of Education, Science Teaching and Social Sciences Teaching Departments. Surveying instrument has been developed by the researchers. “Sustainable Development Awareness Survey” has been applied to 183 prospective teachers.

It has been observed that prospective teachers studying at Science Teaching and Social Sciences Teaching Departments had a high level of awareness about the general and dimension aspects of sustainable development. In the analysis according to the gender of the prospective teachers, no meaningful difference has been found. Sustainable development awareness of prospective teachers shows no significant difference statistically according to the departments they study at in terms of general and dimensions.
