Development of Eco-Literacy Scale for Parents: Focusing on the Parents of Preschoolers

본 연구는 부모용 생태소양척도 개발을 목적으로, 유아교육 기관 참여 및 문헌 연구, 전문가 적절성 검토를 거쳐 개발한 시안의 양호도를 산출하였다. 최종안은 신념영역이 총 14문항으로 생활신념 9문항, 양육신념 5문항으로 구성되었으며, 태도는 총 27문항으로 환경실천 10문항, 교육실천 10문항, 관계실천 7문항으로 확정되었다. 확정된 최종안의 양호도를 살펴보기 위해, 문항내적합치도와 영역 간 상관을 산출하였다. 생태소양척도의 신뢰도 계수(⍺)는 .91로 높게 나타났다. 하위영역 간의 상관은 .40-.96으로 비교적 높은 것으로 나타났다. 영역간 상관이 가장 높은 영역은 교육실천과 생활신념영역 이며, 영역간 상관이 가장 낮은 영역은 양육신념과 관계실천으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was is to develop an eco-literacy scale for the parents of preschoolers. This study identifies for caregivers in sustainable communities the beliefs and attitudes that are important to develop in their children as well as a tool to use to assess their in efforts doing so. The scales were finalized after the third verification. And then we conducted a survey of 634 preschoolers in early childhood education institutions, gathering answer sheets from 295 respondents(51.5%). Out of the 45 items in the final draft, items 21 was found not to have a discriminating power, and items 15, 28 and 35 turned out not to be predictable with factor analysis resulting in a factor loading below 0.35. We removed items 21, 15, 28, and 35 from the survey, resulting in a survey of 41 items. The correlation coefficients of the subfactors of the finalized ecological literacy indicators were between .40 and .87, which showed a close correlation among the subfactors. In addition, their reliability coefficient(.a) was .91, which showed that the indicators were reliable.
