摘要：In Romania, the number of environmental education studies on young children isnot sufficient. This is mainly because scales for measuring the pro-environmentalbehaviour of young children are quite limited and are not quite common. Thissmall-scale empirical study aims to supplement scarce research on children’sattitudes to the environment. The research included 51 children aged 9-10,receiving elementary education in Romanian urban area. The study was carried outin September 2012. Results show that in general children have developed proenvironmentalattitudes, with girls displaying slightly higher means on all thescales, but with no significant differences computed. The most positive attitudes arein the area of nature appreciation, recycling and animal rights and protection.Although limited in its conclusions, the present study provides a significantcontribution to the field for further studies to be conducted in Romania on the proenvironmentalattitudes and potential behaviours of elementary school children.
