Environmental Education of Home Economics Teachers

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of environmental education by Home Economics teachers. The researchers used a questionnaire for 153 Home Economics teachers of secondary schools in Gwang-ju. The results are as follows: Home Economics teachers had a fairly high level of environmental consciousness, but they showed low levels of environmental knowledge and environmental education performance. Married teachers with more educational experience kept a high level of environmental consciousness. Unmarried teachers had more environmental knowledge than married ones. Older teachers with more educational experience performed more environmental education than the others. The teachers with more chances for environmental in formation had a relatively high level of environmental knowledge. The teachers from an environment-friendly community who had more educational experience and chances for environmental information showed a relatively high level of environmental education performance.
