Exploring Greek High School Students’ Understanding of Basic Environmental Issues

Abstract: The present research studies the knowledge of 221 Ioannina's city, located in the northwestern region of Greece, high school students on 10 environmental issues. Schoolers' responses were collected through a "closed response" questionnaire distributed at three of the city's Public High Schools. The overall picture appeared to be moderately satisfactory, as high schoolers possess a good knowledge on several environmental issues, while misconceptions on other issues, such as sustainable development, predominate.… Show more

“…The motivation which is achieved from things that are positive and complex would last longer (Pardee, 1990). Achievement motivation as stated by Mc Clelland is also in agreement with that of (Tsekos et al, 2013) who states that a person's activities to achieve goals and maintain or develop what has already been achieved is part of achievement motivation. Also, (J. G. Nicholls, 1984) states that the achievement motivation is the motivation aimed at developing or demonstrating high abilities (Duda & Nicholls, 1992).…”

“…Ως έρευνα έρχεται να συμπληρώσει τις λιγοστές έρευνες σχετικά με την κατανόηση της έννοιας της Βιώσιμης Ανάπτυξης σε μαθητές της Δευτεροβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης (ΔΕ) στην Ελλάδα. Αντίστοιχες εργασίες έχουν επικεντρωθεί στην Τριτοβάθμια Εκπαίδευση (Maidou et al, 2019) ενώ για την ΔΕ επικεντρώνονται είτε γενικότερα σε περιβαλλοντικά θέματα (Tsekos et al, 2013) είτε σ' ένα μόνο στόχο Βιώσιμης Ανάπτυξης όπως στη «δράση για την κλιματική αλλαγή» ή στη «βιομάζα» (Kapassa et al, 2013˙ Koutalidi et al, 2016. Ιδιαίτερη είναι η συνεισφορά της εργασίας αυτής στη συσχέτιση βασικών γνώσεων ενός κλασσικού γνωστικού πεδίου και διδακτικού αντικειμένου, όπως είναι η Βοτανική, με τη γνώμη των μαθητών ως προς το βαθμό εμπλοκής των φυτών στην επίτευξη των ΣΒΑ.…”

“…Η ανάλυση των δεδομένων έδειξε ότι ενώ αρκετοί από τους συμμετέχοντες στην έρευνα έχουν ακούσει τον όρο αυτό τελικά μόλις το 39,1% από αυτούς ήταν σε θέση να δώσει έναν πλήρη ή έστω ελλιπή ορισμό για τη Βιώσιμη Ανάπτυξη. Τα χαμηλά αυτά επίπεδα στην κατανόηση της Βιώσιμης Ανάπτυξης επιβεβαιώνουν παλαιότερη έρευνα σε μαθητές Λυκείου, στην οποία το ποσοστό των μαθητών Α΄ Λυκείου που κατανοούσε την έννοια ήταν 44,1% και της Β΄ Λυκείου 35,6% (Tsekos et al, 2013).…”

“…For long, educational efforts are increasingly being seen as means for increasing individuals' environmental knowledge and capacity to work towards addressing environmental problems, with schools seen as important media through which such knowledge can be acquired [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Accordingly, large volume of published research information is available on environmental knowledge of school students for many areas of the world such as USA [17][18][19][20][21][22] Lebanon [23], Netherlands [24] Malaysia [25], Israel [26,27], Taiwan [28], Canada [29], Turkey [30][31][32][33], Greece [34][35][36][37][38], Australia [39] China [40] Cross-country (China, USA, Switzerland and England) study [41] and Jordan [42]. Similarly, large volume of research works have now been completed assessing the effects of different variables on variations in levels of environmental knowledge of students and teachers in school systems in many countries [11, 43, 44, Sieg et al, 2010;[45-60] In Nigeria, the role of EE in achieving sustainable development has for long been appreciated.…”
