Pro-environmental concern among primary school students
Karpudewan, Mageswary1, Chin, Chee Keong2.
Public awareness on environmental issues is the prerequisite of the behavioural changes towards environmental-friendly activities. People who are concern about preserving the environment for present and future generations are more prone to engage in pro-environment lifestyles. In this study, the modified New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale was used to gauge 348 students’ pro-environmental concern. Based on 1 to 5 Likert scale response, students’ pro-environmental values was found to be high (mean=3.66, SD=0.59). Data analysis showed no difference in students’ belief system across gender and between students in Penang and Perak states. However, there was variation in pro-environmental concern between schools. It was also revealed that students’ science achievement in school is a moderate-effect predictor of their pro-environmental concern.
