Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the environmental identities and pro-environmental behaviors of prospective science teachers. It also aimed to reveal the relationship between environmental identity and pro-environmental behaviors of the participants in the study. The survey research design was employed in the study, the participants of which were 980 prospective science teachers from three different universities in Turkey. The Environmental Identity and Pro-environmental Behavior Scales were utilized as data collection tools. Descriptive statistical analyses, such as percentage, frequency, mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistical analyses such as Factor Analysis and Pearson Moment Correlation were used for the analysis of the data. The analyses revealed that participants had a relatively strong environmental identity and a relatively high level of pro-environmental behavior. In addition, significant results were obtained regarding the fact that a psychometric factor that incorporates beliefs, knowledge, attitudes and behavioral dimensions such as environment identity’ was effective in establishing pro-environmental behaviors.
