This article explains how environmental awareness was raised among primary school pupils in the Second Polish Republic illustrated with an example of “Nasi Przyjaciele” magazine, published by the Society for Protection and Care of Animals in Krakow. The monthly was recommended by the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightment for school use. In the specific sections of the magazine, environmental attitudes were promoted by means of articles, appeals to provide environmental education, environmental protection and, last but not least, children’s practical activities as part of the Young Friends of Animals Circle, contests for pupils of elementary schools and their creative co-participation in editing the magazine (stories and poems written by the children were published as the winning contest works).

Abstract: Th e theoretical part of the paper introduces environmental ethics and points out its most frequent issues. It shows that the objective of education is to support pupils in their autonomous decision making. Th e objectives of this research study were a) to implement the environmental activity “At the Swallow’s Nest” with primary school pupils and to verify its functionality, b) to find out what decisions were taken by pupils and how these decisions were justified, and c) to discover what influenced the pupils’ decision making. For these purposes, the method of action research was used, based on records of children’s statements, a description of their behaviour, and a questionnaire survey. Overall, the author conducted the activity with 380 primary school pupils. Th e questionnaire was collected from 158 pupils. Th e results show that: (a) primary pupils can already discuss environmental problems and learn how to solve them; b) the pupils’ decisions are influenced by a number of variables, c) there is no correlation between a decision and any of the controlled variables (age, family background, religion, etc.). A single dependency was detected, namely the dependency on the group (if it was a permanent group), which (given that the voting was anonymous) can be interpreted as the influence of the class teacher on their pupils’ decisions. Conclusions: Although solving similar types of activities is not common in the conception of environmental education in Czech schools (let alone on the primary school level), similar pedagogical interventions seem to be a suitable tool in environmental moral education. Keywords: environmental ethics, environmental education, decision-making processes, primary education.

Environmental Attitude

Rapid economic growth has enriched the lives of individuals and yielded rising material and living standards. However, various types of public pollution problems have successively emerged, and environmental problems have worsened in recent years. Furthermore, the prevalence of leisure and the rapid development of regional tourism industries and bed and breakfast lodging have exacerbated environmental destruction and pollution in various locales. The inclusion of ecotourism into ecological education and the provision of ecolodge are beneficial for the design of student learning outcomes; moreover, community residents and tourists can grasp the importance of environmental protection and education through ecolodging experiences. This measure would improve public awareness of environmental protection, facilitate the cultivation of social responsibility, and achieve the objective of environmental protection advocacy. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between ecological education and the environment by using Kenting National Park, a tourist attraction in Taiwan, as the case study. Tourists visiting the location were the research subjects, and convenience sampling was conducted by distributing 505 questionnaires, with 372 valid responses recovered—a return rate of 74%. The research revealed the following results: (a) Environmental education is positively correlated with environmental attitude. (b) Environmental attitude is positively correlated with environmental behavior. (c) Environmental education is positively correlated with environmental behavior. Finally, this paper proposes recommendations based on the research results with the aim of facilitating environmental literacy, correct environmental attitudes, concern for ecosystems, and the realization of environmental behavior.

Modern Geography

Education reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina began in 2003, when the process of adopting the Framework Law on Education started. Reforms emerged as a need after the war (1992-1995) and the establishment of a new administrative and political arrangement in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this paper is to analyze the representation of ecological contents, teaching units, topics and lessons in the modern geography curriculum in elementary schools, which contribute to the development of pupils' awareness of the need for environmental protection. The analysis of the objectives and outcomes of learning geography curricula has shown, among other things, the emphasis or accent on environmental education and upbringing. During the work it was noted that teachers have quite enough motives, and certain progress in the realization of ecological activities in teaching geography of Sarajevo primary schools, however, more effort is needed in order to achieve all the aforementioned advantages of ecological education and upbringing.
