Özet
The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether the 6 th, 7 th and 8 th grade students' thoughts about and behaviors and attitudes towards environment vary depending on the variables of gender, grade level and their parents' education status. There are totally 534 students (320 females and 214 males) participating in the study. "Environmental Attitude Scale" was used to evaluate the students' attitudes towards environment. In the analyses of the data, MANOVA and Pearson correlation were used. It was found that means of the scores obtained for thoughts about and attitudes towards environment vary significantly depending on the gender variable, yet, no significant difference was found for the means of the scores obtained for behaviors towards environment. A significant difference was found among the means of the scores obtained for thoughts about and behaviors and attitudes towards environment based on the grade level variable. The scores for thoughts about and behaviors and attitudes towards environment change depending on the education status of the parents. The potential impacts of the findings of the present for environment education study will be discussed. © Sila Science.
