The main purpose of the present study was to explore the role of future time perspective, perceived knowledge about global climate change, environmental attitudes, and self-efficacy of cooperation in predicting the university students’ beliefs about occurrence, causes and consequences of global climate change and behavioral intention to mitigate global climate change after controlling for gender. For this purpose, a quantitative study was designed and conducted with the participation of 1580 undergraduate students of METU and the data was gathered through the data collection instrument named Future Perspective Related Beliefs and Behavioral Intention about Global Climate Change Scale. The results revealed that self-efficacy of cooperation, ecocentric attitude and perceived knowledge, among others, are mainly three influential factors for the undergraduate students’ beliefs about global climate change. The contribution of future time perspective, although low, was statistically significant in predicting behavioral intention to mitigate global climate change. The results also suggested that ecocentric attitude and perceived knowledge, among others, are mainly two influential factors for the undergraduate students’ beliefs about global climate change. Future time perspective’s contribution although low, was found to be significant in undergraduate students’ beliefs about global climate change.

Identifying determinants of pro-environmental behaviours : a case for climate change
Hiğde, Emrah; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The aim of the present study is in twofold: (1) to explore pre-service science teacher‘s knowledge about climate change, environmental attitudes (ecocentric and anthropocentric), epistemic beliefs regarding climate change, uncertainty beliefs about the reality of anthropogenic climate change and pro environmental behaviors towards climate change and (2) to investigate the significant determinants of pro-environmental behaviors towards climate change. Data collected from 1277 pre-service science teachers thr...
The Relationship between Environmental Moral Reasoning and Environmental Attitudes of Pre-Service Science Teachers
Tuncay Yüksel, Büşra; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Teksöz, Gaye (2011-01-01)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between environmental moral reasoning patterns and environmental attitudes of 120 pre-service science teachers. Content analysis was carried out on participants’ written statements regarding their concerns about the presented environmental problems and the statements were labeled as ecocentric, anthropocentric, and non-environmental according to their meanings. Then, descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted on the calculated frequen...
Investigating the Changes in Children's Environmental Attitudes Through Mobile Game Intervention
Tok, Aslıhan Mecbure; Niyazi, Aslı; Yeşilada, Yeliz; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2021-9)
Environmental education has gained significant importance in recent years to increase the new generation's environmental awareness, attitudes, and behaviors with the intention of reducing and preventing the possible destruction of climate change. In Northern Cyprus, most of the studies focused on the relationship between environmental education and environmental attitudes of students at secondary school, high school, and university levels. In this thesis, environmental education has been examined from a fre...
An Evaluation of Environmental Responsibility and Its Associated Factors: Reflections from PISA 2006
Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Teksöz, Gaye; Öztekin, Ceren (2012-12-01)
Problem statement: Contemporary global environmental problems have highlighted the importance of acting responsibly towards natural resources and the environment. The role of science education in shaping how people interact with the environment, therefore, has gained importance. The science education community has responded to this challenge by helping citizens develop responsibility for environmental issues. Accordingly, "scientific literacy and the environment" was one of the research areas in the Program...
Modelling pre-service science teachers’ environmentally friendly behaviours in relation to psychological and cognitive variables
Alper, Umut; Öztekin, Ceren; Şahin, Elvan; Department of Elementary Education (2014)
The aim of the present study is in twofold: (1) to explore pre-service science teacher’s knowledge of environmental issues, attitudinal motives (ecocentric and anthropocentric), internal locus of control, spatial optimism and temporal pessimism, and environmentally friendly behaviours and (2) to investigate the significant determinants of their environmentally friendly behaviours. Data collected from 1497 junior and senior pre-service science teachers through knowledge of environmental issues scale, environ...
