Geographical regions as a silent predictor of responsible environmental behaviour

Öz:

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin farklı coğrafi bölgelerinde yaşayan 15 yaş grubu öğrencilerin doğal kaynaklar ve çevre ile ilgili sorunlara yönelik farkındalık, kaygı, iyimserlik ve sorumluluk gelişimlerinin bölgelere göre değişimini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın veri kaynağını ve örneklemini 2006 Uluslararası Öğrenci Değerlendirme Programı (PISA) kapsamında Türkiye’nin 7 coğrafi bölgesinde, 78 ildeki 160 devlet ve özel okula okuluna devam etmekte olan 15 yaşındaki toplam 4942 öğrenciden (2290 kız, 2652 erkek) elde edilen veriler oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, frekans dağılımları ve çoklu varyans analizi (MANOVA) kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. MANOVA sonucunda elde edilen sonuçlar, coğrafi bölge farklılıklarının öğrencilerinin doğal kaynak ve çevre ile ilgili sorumluluk anlayışlarında etkili olduğunu göstermiştir.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the regional differences in students’ awareness, perception, optimism and responsibility development toward environment. The data used for the study was obtained from the one produced by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2006 and comprised of the Turkish sample of 4942 fifteen year-old-students (2290 girls and 2652 boys) attending 160 schools across 78 provinces and 7 geographical regions. The data were statistically analyzed by using frequency distributions and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results indicated that there is a significant effect of geographical regional differences, although small in magnitude, on students’ responsibility towards natural resources and environment.
