Values, beliefs and norms that foster Chilean and German pupils’ commitment to protect biodiversity

Öz:

Genç insanların biyolojik çeşitliliğin korunması konusundaki adanmışlığını desteklemek, hem endüstrileşmiş ülkeler hem de biyolojik çeşitlilik açısından önemi tespit edilmiş alanlarda sürdürülebilir kalkınma için eğitimin önemli bir amacıdır. Fakat bu türden sorumlulukları etkileyen faktörleri tanımlayan çok az deneysel kanıt mevcuttur . Bu çalışmada, Değer-İnanç-Norm teorisine dayanarak 15-19 yaşları arasındaki 216 Şilili ve 217 Alman öğrenci biyoceitlilik konusundaki sorumluluklari araştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırmalar Şilili öğrencilerin daha yüksek kişisel değer ve biyolojik çeşitliliği korumaya adanmışlığa sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Regresyon analizi sonuçları da Alman örneklemi için “Scwartzdeğer evrenselinin üç farklı davranışsal adanmışlık için önemli bir prediktör olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Her iki örneklemde de sorumluluğun yüklenmesi, tehdidi azaltan algılanmış kabiliyet ve hepsinden önemlisi kişisel değerler olumlu prediktörlerdir. Makale, sonuçların var olan kanıtların ışığında tartışılması ve biyolojik çeşitlilik eğitimi için etkilerine yönelik önerilerle neticelendirilmiştir.

Fostering young people‟s commitment to protect biodiversity is an important goal of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in both, industrial countries and designated biodiversity hotspots. However, little empirical evidence exists to describe factors that influence such commitments. Based on the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory, 15 to 19-year-old Chilean (n= 216) and German (n= 217) pupils‟ commitment to protect biodiversity was investigated. Comparisons revealed that Chilean adolescents showed higher personal norms and commitments to protect biodiversity. Regression analysis showed that within the German sample, the „Schwartz‟-value universalism was an important predictor for three different kinds of behavioural commitment. In both samples, „ascription of responsibility‟, „perceived ability to reduce threat‟ and, above all, „personal norms‟ were positive predictors. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results in the light of existing evidence and suggests implications for biodiversity education.
