The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the elementary students' environmentally friendly attitude and environment literacy through Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats in science class. The objects of this study were the sixth grade of both an experimental class (25 students) and a comparative class (24 students) a the S elementary school science class located in Incheon city. The results of this study were as follows: First, the change of environmentally friendly attitude in the experimental group applying the six thinking hats program have statistically meaningful differences (p<.05). Second, the environmental literacy of the experimental group was improved somewhat, but it has no meaningful differences compared the other group statistically. Therefore, the six thinking hats program applied in this study might be useful to improve the students' environmentally friendly attitude in elementary school science class.

The purpose is to figure out the effects of education for environmental pollution prevention through forest experiences on children's nature-friendly attitudes and scientific problem solving ability. To achieve this, an experiment was conducted on total 44 kindergarten children in a class for 5-year-olds, who are classified into experimental group of 22 children(12 male children, 10 female children) and comparative group of 22 children(13 male children, 9 female children), in a C farming village. The results are as follows. First, the change of children's nature-friendly attitudes by group showed that education for environmental pollution prevention through forest experiences had an effect on the improvement of children's nature-friendly attitudes. Second, the change of children's scientific problem solving ability by group showed that education for environmental pollution prevention through forest experiences had an effect on the improvement of children's scientific problem solving ability. This implies that children's forest activities are useful in improving their nature-friendly attitudes and scientific problem solving ability.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of robot play linked to environmental picture books on the Environmentally Friendly attitudes of 5-year-old children. For this purpose, 24 5-year-old children from Seoul Y Kindergarten and 20 5-year-old children from E Kindergarten were selected as comparison subjects. In order to examine the differences between the groups, the experimental group performed 'Robot Play Linked to Environmental Picture Books' and the comparative group performed 'Free Play After Appreciating Environmental Picture Books'. The collected data were analyzed through independent sample t-test, which compares the average between the two groups using SPSS 29.0 statistical program. As a result of the study, there was a significant difference in all sub-areas of children's environment-friendly attitude(nature-friendly attitude, environmental preservation attitude), and these findings are meaningful as a basis for the direction of new environmental education of play-centered early childhood environmental education based on the value of new play media support called robot.

Objective: In this study, educational activities were organized to emphasize the importance of natural disaster safety education by reflecting the recent rapid increases in natural disasters. The study focused on story-sharing, art, and game activities to effectively conduct natural disaster safety education for four-year-old children, and in doing so, aimed to improve the children's safety problem-solving abilities and eco-friendly attitude. Methods: Based on the types of natural disasters that are handled by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education, earthquakes, yellow dust, heat waves, floods, typhoons, bolts of lighting, fires, snowstorms, and global warming were included as the study's educational contents, and a total 20 sessions of natural disaster safety education activities were planned. For the subjects, 20 four-year-old children at K Kindergarten attached to a school were selected as an experimental group and 20 four-year-old children at N Kindergarten attached to a school were selected as a control group. Both kindergartens were located in C City, Chungcheongbuk-do. The experimental group was instructed to perform the study's education activities, whereas the control group only carried out general activities based on the Nuri Curriculum's subjects of daily life. Results: As a result, the children in the experimental group, who received the natural disaster safety education, improved their safety problem-solving abilities and eco-friendly attitude when compared to those in the control group. This outcome proved that the natural disaster safety education conducted by the present study offers educational activities that can positively affect improvements in children's safety problem-solving abilities and eco-friendly attitude. Conclusion/Implications: Therefore, the present study is likely to provide concrete information to teachers who plan to conduct natural disaster safety education in the actual early childhood education field.

본 연구는 영국의 환경농업장려지구(ESAs) 사업의 내용과 이에 대한 농민의 태도를 설문조사를 통하여 분석함으로써 친환경농업정책의 내용과 한계를 파악하고자 하였다. 영국에서 실시하고 있는 환경농업정책은 농민의 자발적인 참여를 원칙으로 하고 있으며, 농민은 정해진 계약에 따라 영농을 하게 되면 일정한 보상금을 받는다. 특정지구에서만 실시하는 사업과 전지역에서 시행되는 사업이 있으며 동일사업에 대한 적용 기준과 보상금 등은 지역마다 상이히다. 이중 가장 대표적인 환경농업정책은 ESAs 사업이다. 이는 농업으로 인해 환경이 민감하게 훼손될 수 있는 지구를 설정하여, 환경 농업을 장려하는 사업이다. 이에 참여함으로써 농민이 받는 장려금은 환경 친화적인 영농을 함으로서 예상되는 농민의 손실분을 고려하여 결정된다. 이와 같은 환경농업정책에 대하여 영국의 농민들의 태도는 적극적이는 못하다. 경영규모가 적은 농민과 지정지구내에서 영농하는 농민들은 비교적 친환경 농업에 적극적이다. 대규모 농장의 경우 경제적 수익 향상을 농업의 주목적으로 생각하고 있어 환경농업정책의 참여에 소극적이다. 따라서 환경농업은 소규모 농장을 중심으로 국지적으로 이루어지기 때문에 자발적인 참여를 전제로 하는 환경농업 정책의 한계로 지적되고 있다.

Methods: The subjects of the study were 39 children in H kindergarten located in G city, and the discussion activities for young children connected with sustainable development were conducted through 12 weeks. For the statistical analysis of the data collected, the t-test and the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were conducted using the SPSS WIN 18.0 program. Results: As a result, the experimental group children of which the discussion activities based on education for sustainable development for young children scored high in the sensibility of natural environment. And also, the experimental group children of which discussion activities based on education for sustainable development scored high in children's natural environment-friendly attitude.

The purpose of this study were (1) to examine the level of housewives' pro- environmental behavior, and (2) to analyze the effect of the selected variables on pro-environmental behavior 941 sample were selected from housewives living in urban area. For the analysis of data, frequencies, means, one-way ANOVA, DMR test, Chi-square test, and multiple regression analysis were used. The major findings were as follows：1. The level of housewives' pro-environmental behavior was lower than that of pro-environmental attitude. 2. The level of housewives' pro-environmental behavior was mainly affected by their environment-related variables, for example, pro-environmental attitude, and experience of environmental education. Most of socio-demographic variables and family-related variables didn't have significant effects on the level of pro-environmental behavior.
