Manoli3  \n• The goal of the present research was to assess the environmental worldviews and concerns of students from the fourth to the seventh grade in Slovenia. The New Ecological Paradigm Scale for Children was translated and validated for use with Slovenian primary school students (N = 310). The students were also asked about their environmental concerns (using statements from the Environmental Motives Scale) and demographic questions. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted for the New Ecological Paradigm scale using AMOS software, confirming a three-dimensional model with ten items. The students showed the highest agreement with the items in the factor Rights of Nature, and the lowest agreement with Human Exemptionalism. The environmental attitudes of the students decreased from the fourth to the seventh grade, while altruistic environmental concerns significantly increased with higher grades. Gender differences were not statistically significant for environmental worldviews and concerns. The reported results show that biospheric environmental concern positively correlates with the factors Rights of Nature and belief in Eco-Crisis, and negatively correlates with Human Exemptionalism. The New Ecological Paradigm tool will enable the evaluation of education programmes for children in Slovenia.  \nKeywords: environmental worldviews, environmental concerns, New Ecological Paradigm, children  \n1 *Corresponding Author.

Manoli  \n• Cilj raziskave je bil oceniti okoljski svetovni nazor in skrb za okoljeučencev od četrtega do sedmega razreda v Sloveniji. Lestvica nove ekološke paradigme za otroke je bila prevedena in validirana za uporabo sslovenskimi osnovnošolci (N = 310) . Učence smo tudi spraševali o njihovi skrbi za okolje (z uporabo lestvice okoljskih motivov) in zastavljali demografska vprašanja. Za Lestvico nove ekološke paradigme je bilaizvedena potrditvena faktorska analiza s pomočjo programske opreme AMOS, ki je potrdila tridimenzionalni model z desetimi trditvami. Študentje so pokazali najvišje soglasje s trditvami v faktorju pravice narave, najnižje pa s faktorjem človeška izjemnost. Odnos do okolja se je od četrtega do sedmega razreda poslabšal, medtem ko so učenci v višjih razredih pokazali bolj altruistično skrb za okolje. Razlike med spolomaniso bile statistično pomembne za njihove okoljske svetovne nazore in skrbi. Izsledki kažejo, da je okoljska skrb za biosfero v pozitivni korelaciji s faktorji pravice narave in vera v ekološko krizo ter v negativni korelaciji s faktorjem človeška izjemnost.

Major environmental problems can readily generate strong feelings in anyone delving into the roots of the current situation. Addressing these issues will require people to do things differently. The goal of environmental education is to develop a world population that is aware of and concerned about the environment (Palmer & Neal, 1994). The success of environmental education depends particularly on cognitive development and environmental knowledge (with special attention to knowledge of biology and ecology), affective and motivational factors (especially a connection to nature and feelings about one’s ability to achieve effects ","cbCaihGTDQ66ay5g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihGTDQ66ay5g","pdf",186253,17,"English","# Introduction\n# Environmental Worldviews","[{\"question\":\"What is the main research goal of this study?\",\"answer\":\"To assess environmental worldviews and environmental concerns among students in grades four to seven in Slovenia.\"},{\"question\":\"Which instrument was translated and validated, and for what purpose?\",\"answer\":\"The New Ecological Paradigm Scale for Children was translated and validated to measure Slovenian primary students’ environmental worldviews.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the study find about how students’ attitudes change by grade?\",\"answer\":\"Environmental attitudes decreased from grade four to grade seven, while altruistic environmental concerns increased in higher grades.\"}]","Assessing Children’s Environmental Worldviews and Concerns - Research | PDF",1792086524,43]
