The purpose of this study is to
determine the environmental knowledge, attitudes towards the environment and
environmentally friendly behaviors, i.e., the level of environmental awareness
of in-service teachers and to understand whether certain variables such as
major, gender, duration of experience affects these issues. The study was
carried out in 2016-2017 academic year with 302 voluntary teachers who are in
different education stages and majors in the city of Etimesgut in Ankara. In
addition, the area of the study, represents the regions of Turkey where
citizens are from different socioeconomic levels. In this regard, this study
will be instrumental in having a general idea of the teachers in Ankara. Data
were collected with a quantitative scale called "Environmental Awareness
Scale". The scale starts with a section consisting of 13 questions which
are about demographic information of participants and the environment. The
scale consists of 3 chapters which each of them contain 20 questions to measure
knowledge, attitude and behavior towards the environment. Analysis of the data
was performed with SPSS 22.0; frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation
values, t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlation analyzes were
applied. With the aim of testing the reliability, Co. Alpha analysis was
applied, as a result Co. Alpha coefficient was found to be 0.98. In addition,
factor analysis was performed with the aim of testing the construct validity of
the scale. According to the research findings, participants' genders were found
to have an effect on attitude and knowledge levels but not on their behaviors.
The attitudes towards the environment of those who are interested in plants and
animals in their childhood have been positively influenced.  Moreover, it has been observed that attitude
and knowledge do not have a positive effect on behavior alone but knowledge and
attitude have a positive effect on each other.
