Abstract

Teachers in primary and secondary schools pay great attention to the importance of environmental education and do their best to set a good example for their students inside and outside the classroom. Environmental attitude surveys play an important role in the research on environmental education. The development of appropriate environmental attitudes is one of the main goals of environmental education (Thiengkamol, 2011; Lükő, 2003). The greatest challenge facing humanity today is to avoid that the functioning of human civilisation changes the physical, chemical and biological environment of humanity to such an extent that these changes threaten the existence and sustainability of human civilisation itself. Environmental thinking and education consist of a sense of responsibility, an environmentally aware attitude, appropriate knowledge and skills. The role of the family, parents, teachers and teacher training in stitutions is crucial. A good teacher can develop an environmentally aware approach in their pupils by using appropriate professional knowledge, methods and skills, creativ ity and experiential teaching. Children are open to the world, curious and receptive, and the most important thing in education is to satisfy their inquisitive eyes and imagination. The aim of our research is to investigate changes in the environmental attitudes and behaviour of primary and secondary school chemistry teachers participating in the Environmental Education Experiments (CEE). The research will be conducted using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire is a 30-item, five-point Likert scale questionnaire for chemistry teachers. The questions are taken from three different attitude measurement questionnaires adapted to Hungarian: the ENV, RevNEP and CHEAKS questionnaires.
