초등학생의 환경 소양도에 따른 환경 Mapping 평가 사례 분석

The purpose of this study was to evaluate elementary students' environmental mapping following an environmental literacy degree. For this purpose, 34 elementary students of the 5th grade in Daejeon were used as a sample, and their environmental literacy(EL) by 'environmental literacy inventory(ELI)' was assessed. In the end, the correlation between EL and 'Environmental Mapping' was analyzed. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1) 5th grade elementary school students have a high level of conceptual recognition in regard to environmental issues and problems but they have low level of environmental behavioral function; 2) in the correlational analysis of environmental Mapping assessment and EL degree have significant correlation at p<.01 ; 3) environmental issue knowledge and environmental susceptibility have significant correlation in environmental Mapping and p<.01; 4) in the correlation analysis of environmental Mapping assessment and environmental target level, fundamental elements and conceptual recognition have significant correlation at p<.01 and environmental behavior and function on environment have significant correlation at p<.05.
