Povzetek

Cilj raziskave je bil oceniti okoljski svetovni nazor in skrb za okolje učencev od četrtega do sedmega razreda v Sloveniji. Lestvica nove ekološke paradigme za otroke je bila prevedena in validirana za uporabo s slovenskimi 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 bila izvedena 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 spoloma niso 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. Nova ekološka paradigma nam bo omogočila vrednotenje izobraževalnih programov za otroke v Sloveniji.
