Modeling the Relationships between Subdimensions of Environmental Literacy
Genc, Murat; Akilli, Mustafa
Applied Environmental Education and Communication, v15 n1 p58-74 2016
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the relationships between subdimensions of environmental literacy using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study was conducted by the analysis of students' answers to questionnaires data using SEM. Initially, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's tests were done to test appropriateness of subdimensions to factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis was done for the subdimensions that were seen to be suitable for factor analysis and then structural model was tested. At the end of the SEM test, it was found that there are positive and high relations between knowledge, behavior, attitude, and tendency.
