“…Possible reason for this is the inclusion of theoretical lessons within the frame of internet and TV (Akıllı & Yurtcan, 2009) and the potential that media can reach the masses in terms of awakening awareness. Research support that TV is the most preferred and effective information source in comparison with the printed sources (Aksu &Avcı, 2009;Altın, 2001;Erol, 2005;Pe'er et al, 2007;Spellman et al, 2010;Sadik & Sadik, 2014). Based on the research findings, the following suggestions are drawn attention that:…”

In this research, determination of primary school, social studies and mathematics candidate teachers' awareness and susceptibility levels about environmental problems, solution suggestions about these problems, activities used in environmental education and views about environmental education were targeted. Sample of this research comprised of 449 candidate teachers from Nizip Education Faculty (Gaziantep University) and Education Faculty of Çukurova University. Research carried out in Fall Semester of 2015-2016 Education year. The data collection tool was a questionnaire done by candidate teachers. In the data analysis, number, percentage, average and standard deviation as descriptive statistical methods were used. One way ANOVA test was used in comparison of quantitative continuity data between more than two independent samples. Scheffe test was used as subsidiary post-hoc analysis for determining differences after ANOVA test. Pearson correlation analysis was practiced between continuous variables of research. Analysis results showed that "social susceptibility" and "general susceptibility" level of the participants was high whereas "academic susceptibility" level of the participants was very high. Environmental education, which is the biggest factor in awakening environmental awareness, must be extended to all the masses. One way to make this happen is to put weight on environmental education in the formal education programs.

“…In a similar way, Sarıgöz (2013) found that girls think more sensitively about the environment than the boys in a study conducted with 921 secondary school students. In some research, it is indicated that the reason for the sensitivity of the girls may be rooted in their higher level of anxiety about the environment than the boys (Deniş and Genç, 2007;Spellman et al, 2003). In another study, Aydın and Çepni (2012) stated that environmental attitude scores of male students are higher than those of females.…”

The aim of this study is to examine the behavior and thinking levels of secondary school students towards the environment according to grade and gender. Relational screening model was used for the study. The sample includes a total of 958 (512 females and 446 males) secondary school students. Of the participants, 261 (27.2%) are in 6 th grade, 461 (48.1%) are in 7 th grade, and 236 (24.6%) are in 8 th grade. The sample was chosen randomly. As a data collection tool, Environmental Attitude Scale developed by Uzun and Sağlam was used. Using ANOVA, the study shows that there is a statistically significant difference between the levels of environmental behavior in terms of grade (F (2-952), p<.01). In order to determine the source of the difference, post-hoc least significant difference (LSD) test was implemented, and the findings indicated that there is a significant difference between 6 th and 7 th grades and 6 th and 8 th grades. There is also a statistically significant difference between the environmental behavior levels of students according to their gender (F (1-952), p<.01). There is no statistically significant difference according to their gender and grades (F (2-952), p>.05). However, a significant difference was found between the levels of environmental thinking of secondary school students according to gender (F (1-952), p<.01). The level of environmental thinking of male students (X=33.94) is higher than that of females (X=31.39).
