Environmental Literacy, its Components and Significance
Апстракт
Studies of environmental science
performance in Serbia have revealed
unsatisfactory results among students completing
the mandatory education. The condition of the
environment and protection of its resources call
for urgent changes. This article analyses the
environmental literacy as a complex construct,
consisting of at least three components: cognitive,
affective and behavioural. The environmental
literacy surpasses knowledge and cognitive skills
and includes the affective component: sensitivity,
care, self-efficacy, certain attitudes and values,
and the actions that correlate with these
phenomena. The affective component is a better
predictor of behaviour than the cognitive one,
which is interpreted in terms of the Theory of
Planned Behavior. The author has reservations as
regards whether all the components of literacy can
be equally facilitated through mandatory
education. Finally, recommendations for
educational practice are offered.
