FUTURE TEACHERS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE NATURE PROTECTION
Abstract
The paper focuses on the empirical study of the attitude to the nature in a sample of student teachers. The study was conducted by Thompson and Barton´s [8] questionnaire aimed to assess the ecocentric approach in this group. The second tool used was a questionnaire of won provenience of the study author called Animal Respect Questionnaire (AniRe). The AniRe questionnaire is a unidimensional tool designed to assess the responders respect for animals. The research has shown a significant difference between ecocentric attitudes and respect for animals, thus confirming that there is an overlap (up to 38%) of the attitude to nature with the attitude towards natural entities animals.
