Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the environmental perceptions of pre-service secondary school teachers about the global environment. The Subjects are 133 pre-service secondary school teachers. As an indicator of environmental perceptions, the modified New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) instrument was used. This modified NEP instrument consists of four dimensions: the negative results of growth and technology, relation of humankind and nature, quality of life, and limits of biosphere. The results of this study suggested that a majority of pre-service secondary teachers held ecological environmental perceptions. They also had a similar environmental perception to education major. However, there were significant differences in environmental perceptions and the variables of education experience on environment-related subjects. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that environment-related subjects. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that environmental education be a mandatory course in education programs.

이 연구의 목적은 예비 중등 교사를 대상으로 지구 환경에 대한 환경 인식, 지구 환경의 하위 영역에 따른 환경 인식, 그리고 전공에 따른 환경 인식에 차이가 있는지를 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위해 '성장과 기술의 부정적 결과', '인류와 자연의 관계', '삶의 질', '생물권의 한계'의 4가지 하위 영역으로 구성된 NEP 검사 도구를 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 대부분의 예비 중등 교사들은 생태학적 환경 인식을 지니고 있었으며, 전공에 따라서도 유사한 환경 인식을 지니고 있었다. 그러나, 환경 관련 교육의 경험 유무에 따라서는 유의한 차이를 나타내었다.
