Abstract:
Current study examined the relationships among epistemological beliefs, environmental concerns, and values. Hundred and three pre-service early childhood teachers completed the Epistemological Belief Questionnaire, the Environmental Motives Scale and the Inventory of Values. The results revealed significant associations among the dimensions of environmental motives and values. Significant interactions were also identified among the dimensions of epistemological beliefs and values. However, no relation was found between epistemological beliefs and environmental motives.
