Program Ekošola je uveljavljen kot mednarodni program okoljske vzgoje in izobraževanja, ki razvija odgovoren odnos do okolja, narave in bivanja. Namenjen je spodbujanju in ozaveščanju o trajnostnem razvoju med otroki, učenci, dijaki in študenti. Pedagoška fakulteta v Ljubljani je vključena v program Ekošola. Z diplomskim delom sem ugotavljala, kakšen odnos imajo študentje do programa Ekošola, kako poznajo aktivnosti, ki se izvajajo v programu Ekošola, ter kakšno je njihovo trajnostno vedenje. V anketiranje je bilo vključenih 83 študentov Pedagoške fakultete. Podatke sem zbrala z anonimnim anketnim vprašalnikom. Rezultati so pokazali, da imajo študentje pozitiven odnos do dejavnosti, ki se izvajajo v programu Ekošola, vendar pa si želijo, da bi bil le-ta bolj prepoznaven. Študentje poznajo nekatere aktivnosti, ki se izvajajo v programu Ekošola, bolj kot druge. Ocenjujem, da je razlog v tem, da so nekatere bolj promovirane kot druge. Najbolje poznajo dejavnosti, povezane z ločevanjem odpadkov, varčevanjem z energijo in zmanjšanjem uporabe papirnatih brisačk v sanitarijah. Pri okoljskem ozaveščanju jim pomagajo napisi, ki opozarjajo na dosledno ugašanje luči ter ekonomično uporabo papirnatih brisačk. Pedagoška fakulteta v Ljubljani spodbuja s programom Ekošola tako študente kot profesorje k trajnostno usmerjenemu vedenju. Študentje kot bodoči učitelji bi bili tako s svojim trajnostnim vedenjem zgled učencem in bi tudi njih v bodoče usmerjali in spodbujali k trajnostno usmerjenim odločitvam in vedenju.

• Title: Students'attitude to the implementation of the Eco-school programme at the Faculty of education

Abstract

The Eco-Schools programme is an established international programme for environmental education, which is developing a responsible attitude towards the environment, nature and way of living. Its aim is to promote and raise awareness of sustainable development among children and youth at different stages of education. Faculty of Education in Ljubljana is participating in the Eco-Schools programme. In my thesis, I was trying to determine what is the students’ attitude towards the Eco-Schools project, how familiar they are with the activities, carried out as a part of the Eco-Schools programme, and what is their sustainable behaviour like. Data was gathered by anonymous questionnaire in a survey involving 83 students of Faculty of Education. The results have shown that the students have a positive attitude towards the activities carried out by the Eco-Schools programme, but wish it would be more recognizable. The students are more familiar with some and less with other activities carried out as a part of the Eco-Schools programme. My estimates are that the reason for this is that some of them are promoted more than others. They are most familiar with the activities related to the waste separation, energy conservation and reduction of paper towel use in the toilets. Signs that remind them to consistently switch off the lights and to economically use paper towels help them in being more environmentally aware. With the Eco-Schools programme, Faculty of Education in Ljubljana encourages both students and teachers to opt for sustainable behaviour. By behaving sustainably, the students, as future teachers, could serve as role models for their future pupils and students – they could direct them towards sustainable-oriented decisions and behaviour.
