“…In this research, the researcher prepared a case and a video that presented environmental issues. Environmental issues were discussed, such as pollution, energy use, waste recycling, and other activities related to environmental conservation (Kahyaoglu, 2014). In this research, aspects of student knowledge were in the nominal environmental literacy category, while in the research conducted by Veisi et al, (2018), the students were in the functional environmental literacy category.…”

One aspect of environmental literacy is that there is an action from someone who is trying to reduce environmental pollution. For primary school students, this effort can be done by processing dry waste into useful items. Processed garbage can be made into scraps that sell for sale or just simple handicrafts. This research was aimed at developing environmental literacy through the use of scraps in primary schools. The research employed a quantitative approach with quasy experimental method. The sample of the research was fifth grade primary school students who were randomly selected. Then the data collection techniques were conducted with the cognitive tests, practice, and attitude questionnaires. Meanwhile, data analysis process employed the inference statistics. The results showed that the activity of utilizing scrap affected the environmental literacy of the students. The aspect that experienced a quite good change was the performance aspect in the form of carrying out used scrap activities. Therefore, the use of scraps could be an effort to build the environmental literacy of primary school students.

“…Finally, it was understood that there was a significant difference in terms of environmental education selfefficacy perceptions of prospective biology teachers compared to science, geography and elementary pre-service teachers. Kahyaoğlu (2014), in her study on primary school teacher candidates, states that gender variable does not show a significant difference in perceptions of environmental education self-efficacy and it is effective to take environmental education courses. Similarly, Özdemir et al (2009) found that third and 4th-grade students taking environmental science lessons from academic competence and directing sub-dimensions of environmental education self-efficacy perceptions of elementary teacher candidates showed a significant difference compared to first and 2nd-grade students who did not take environmental science courses.…”

This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of environmental education self-efficacy of prospective teachers in terms of gender, grade level, academic average, environmental content, environmental membership and department variables. Descriptive research method, which is one of the quantitative research approaches, was used. The study was carried out with 236 prospective teachers studying in biology, science, geography and elementary education programs in the 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, an environmental education self-efficacy scale and personal information form was used. According to the findings of the research; there was no statistically significant difference in perceptions of environmental education self-efficacy among prospective teachers in terms of gender and environmental membership variables. It was found that the pre-service teachers' perceptions of environmental education self-efficacy differentiated in terms of class level, academic average, taking lessons with environmental content and department variables. The study showed the importance of the environmental and environmental subjects in undergraduate programs on environmental education self-efficacy perception. It was also found that pre-service teachers' perceptions of environmental education self-efficacy changed positively, especially as their grade level increases. The fact that pre-service biology teachers who took the environmental content courses in undergraduate education had a lower level of self-efficacy compared to other teachers was one of the most striking results of the study.

“…The consumer environmental consciousness levels of preservice teachers were found to differ significantly in terms of gender. Some studies (Kahyaoğlu, 2014;Timur and Yılmaz, 2011) addressed the lack of any effect of gender on environmental consciousness while many other studies revealed that females' consciousness levels towards the environment are higher than males (Torlak, 2001;Ay and Zümrüt, 2005;Alp, Ertepınar, Tekkaya, and Yılmaz, 2006;Dibgy, 2010;Yılmaz and Anderson, 2004;Gökçe, Kaya, Aktay and Özden, 2007;Çabuk, Nakıboğlu and Keleş, 2008;Arabacıoğlu and Tatlıdil, 2009;Yeniçeri, 2009;Yaraş, Akın andŞakacı, 2011, Özgen andKahyaoğlu, 2013). Considering these researches, it can be concluded that female students are more interested in environmental issues than male students.…”
