چکیده

سه رکن اصلی سنجش اثرگذاری آموزش محیط زیست، دانش و نگرش و رفتار است. دانش و نگرش محیط زیستی به عنوان عوامل مؤثر بر اقدام و رفتارهای محیط زیستی شناخته می‌شوند. بنابراین، سنجش دانش و نگرش محیط زیستی ازجمله ابزارهایی است که در تحلیل رفتار سازگار با طبیعت راهگشاست. امروزه در کتاب‌های درسی مقطع ابتدایی سعی شده است مفاهیم محیط زیست به صورت ضمنی در حافظه دانش‌آموز قرار گیرد. ضرورت سنجش کارایی این موضوع سبب شکل‌گیری این پژوهش شد. این پژوهش به بررسی میزان دانش و علاقه دانش‌آموزان (نگرش محیط زیستی) مقطع ابتدایی شهرستان‌های طرقبه و شاندیز در ارتباط با محیط زیست می­‌پردازد. تحقیق حاضر به روش توصیفی‌تحلیلی اجرا شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها، پرسش‌نامه سنجش علاقه و دانش محیط زیستی بود. در این تحقیق شش مدرسه ابتدایی به روش نمونه‌گیری خوشه‌ای انتخاب شد که شامل 100 دانش‌آموز بودند. نتایج پژوهش گویای این است که بین متغیرهای مستقل تحصیلات والدین و پایه تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان با متغیر وابسته میزان دانش محیط زیستی دانش‌آموزان رابطه معناداری وجود ندارد. درحالی‌که بین متغیر مستقل دانش محیط زیستی با متغیر وابسته علاقه به محیط زیست ارتباط معناداری وجود دارد.

چکیده [English]

Three main components to measure the effectiveness of environmental education are knowledge, interest and behavior. Environmental knowledge and interest are known as affecting factors on environmental behaviors and actions. So, the measurement of environmental knowledge and interests are the tools that could be helpful for analyzing the consistent behavior with the nature. Nowadays, environmental concepts are tried to put in the memory of the audience using modified elementary school textbooks. Therefore, the need for performance measurement of this issue is considered to do with this research. This research investigates the knowledge and the interest of Torghabeh and Shandiz elementary students. This research was conducted by the descriptive, analytical method and questionnaire was used as the ideal data collection technique. In this study, six girls’ schools were selected by cluster sampling which included 100 elementary schools. The results indicate that independent variables of parents' education and students' educational level bear no relation to dependent variables of students' environmental knowledge and awareness. Independent variables of parents' level of education, students' education and access to the green space bear no relation to the dependent variable of their compatible toward nature. There is a significant relationship between the independent variable, environmental knowledge, and the dependent variables, interest and environmentally friendly interest.
