Nuclear energy and Environmental Quality Approach to Data Integration

The present research aimed to make a comparative study on environmental knowledge and attitude of the secondary school students in 2nd grade of biology course in Eco School (Green School) and Non-Eco school. Due to limited number of Eco high schools in Tehran, a pioneer non-governmental school for girls at Tehran Education Organization District 2 was chosen as an Eco school statistical population, and using Cochran sample size formula, a sample size of 50 individuals was estimated for it. After close investigations, proper Non-Eco schools were selected, and a sample size of 42 individuals was obtained for it by using Cochran formula. The descriptive methodology employed in this study was a survey type, relying on a questionnaire for assessment of environmental knowledge as well as a questionnaire for assessment of environmental attitude based on Likert Spectrum. Student's t-distribution and Mann-Whitney tests were also carried out to verify the hypotheses. Finally, the results revealed that the Eco school students’ environmental knowledge in the entire the 5 areas and their environmental attitude were meaningfully higher as compared to Non-Eco School students.
