摘要：This paper explores elementary students levels of recognition of basic concepts about environmental problems. 86 students at 6th, 7th and 8th grades studying in central elementary schools of Kırıkkale participated in this study. Students awareness and preliminary knowledge of environmental problems and their sensitivities towards environment were determined by using open ended questions. According to the findings of this study, the students were mostly aware of the environmental problems stemming from environmental contamination, air pollution and waste materials. Moreover, the students mostly answered the questions correctly regarding with the environmental problems they frequently face in daily life whereas the answers to the questions regarding with the current environmental problems that are infrequently handled in educational institutions such as greenhouse effect, global warming etc. were occasionally incorrect; and in certain cases, the answers even contained a number of misconceptions. Moreover, the levels of students sensitivity towards environment were found to be sufficient.
