چکیده

کسب آگاهی‌های محیط‌زیستی، اولین گام در راه پایداری محیط است و اساساً شرط بقای آینده بشریت آگاهی‌های محیط‌زیستی، توانایی فهم اصول شناخت محیط‌زیست و زندگی کردن بر اساس آن‌ها است. استانداردهای مدارس سبز که شامل فضای فیزیکی، فرهنگ‌سازمانی و اهداف آموزشی هستند، نمودی کلی از یک مدرسه سبز را فراهم می‌کنند. یکی از وظایف مهم مدارس سبز، فراهم آوردن بستر مناسب برای آموزش محیط‌زیست به دانش‌آموزان است. هدف پژوهش حاضر، شناسایی چالش‌های ارزشیابی آموزش محیط‌زیست در مدارس سبز کشور است. در این پژوهش با بهره‌گیری از روش پژوهش پیمایشی، چالش‌های مشخص‌شده موردبررسی و با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SPSS مورد تجزیه‌وتحلیل قرار گرفت. در بررسی فرضیه‌ها پس از محاسبه ضریب همبستگی پیرسون بین متغیرها و ضریب تعیین، با استفاده از آزمون معناداری ضریب همبستگی به بررسی فرضیه‌های پژوهش پرداخته شده است. نتایج نشان می‌دهد تنها تنوع محتوای آموزشی و ابهام در منابع اطلاعاتی به‌عنوان چالش‌های ارزشیابی آموزش محیط‌زیست در مدارس سبز مطرح می‌باشند و این دو متغیر با یکدیگر می‌توانند تا 1/18 درصد از واریانس چالش‌ها را پیش‌بینی نمایند.

چکیده [English]

Acquiring environmental knowledge is the first step towards environmental sustainability, and basically, the condition for the future survival of humanity is environmental knowledge, the ability to understand the principles of knowing the environment and living based on them. Green school standards, which include physical space, organizational culture, and educational goals, provide an overview of a green school. One of the important duties of green schools is to provide a suitable field for environmental education for students. The aim of the current study is to identify the challenges of evaluating environmental education in green schools in Iran. In this paper using a survey method challenges were identified and investigated and then the data were analyzed by using SPSS software. After calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient between the variables and the determination coefficient, the research hypotheses have been examined using the correlation coefficient significance test. The results show that only the diversity of educational content and ambiguity in information sources are considered challenges in evaluating environmental education in green schools. Together, these two variables can predict up to %18.1 of the variance of challenges.
