Zaradi podnebnih sprememb se vedno več pozornosti posveča okoljski vzgoji in ohranjanju okolja. Da bi učiteljem pomagali do učinkovitejšega poučevanja te vsebine, smo preverili, kako izbrani dejavniki vplivajo na oblikovanje stališč do ohranjanja in izkoriščanja narave pri dijakih. Uporabili smo anketni vprašalnik, ki je zbral podatke o anketirancu, njegovem motivu za obisk narave in preverjal stališča dijaka v povezavi z ohranjanjem in izkoriščanjem narave s 5-stopenjsko Likertovo lestvico. Vključili smo 2-MEV vprašalnik, orodje ustvarjeno za spremljanje okoljskega dojemanja mladostnikov (Bogner in sod., 2006), ki smo ga prevedli in prilagodili. V raziskavi sta sodelovali ena splošna in ena strokovna gimnazija, skupaj 263 dijakov od 1. do 3. letnika. Rezultati so pokazali, da na stališča do ohranjanja in izkoriščanja narave najbolj vpliva spol, saj so dekleta izkazala bolj pozitivna stališča do ohranjanja in bolj negativna do izkoriščanja narave kot fantje. Na stališča do ohranjanja narave vpliva tudi zanimanje za študij naravoslovja in prevladujoč motiv za obiskovanje narave. Za vpliv okolja bivanja, starosti in šole na oblikovanje stališč nismo ugotovili statistično značilnih razlik.

• Title: Students' attitudes toward nature preservation and utilisation

Abstract

In the light of climate change, our focus is progressively shifting to environmental education and conservation. To help teachers teach these topics more effectively, we looked at what influences students' attitudes towards nature conservation and utilisation. A questionnaire was used to collect information about the respondents and their motivation for visiting the outdoors and to test the student's views on the conservation and utilization of nature using a 5-point Likert scale. We included the 2-MEV questionnaire, a tool created to monitor the attitude towards nature and environment in adolescents (Bogner et al., 2006), which we translated and adapted. One general and one vocational secondary school, with a total of 263 students from 1st to 3rd year, participated in the survey. The results showed that gender has the biggest impact on attitudes towards conservation and utilisation, with girls showing a more positive attitude towards conservation and a more negative attitude towards utilisation than boys. The attitude towards nature conservation is also influenced by the students' general predisposition to pursue studies in natural sciences in the future and their predominant motive for visiting nature. No statistically significant differences were found for the influence of living environment, age and school on attitude formation.
