Pro-Environmental Concern Among Primary School Students

Public awareness on environmental issues is the prerequisite of the behavioural changes towards environmental-friendly activities. people who are concern about preserving the environment for present and future generations are more prone to engage in pro-environment lifestyles. in this study, the modified new ecological paradigm (nep) scale was used to gauge 348 students’ pro-environmental concern. based on 1 to 5 likert scale response, students’ pro-environmental values was found to be high (mean=3.66, sd=0.59). data analysis showed no difference in students’ belief system across gender and between students in penang and perak states. however, there was variation in pro-environmental concern between schools. it was also revealed that students’ science achievement in school is a moderate-effect predictor of their pro-environmental concern.
