DEVELOPMENT OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY SCALE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Rupinder Kaur, Sangeeta

DOI : 10.9780/22307850, By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

This paper explains the procedure of developing and standardizing an environmental sensitivity scale constructed by the investigator to measure the environmental sensitivity of secondary school students. The scale has been constructed by using Likert’s method of summation to obtain a five point judgment on each item. After critical study related to environmental education and environmental sensitivity five areas namely wildlife and forests, environmental pollution, population explosion, health and hygiene and conservation of environment were selected for constructing the tool. The pilot study had 90 items, related to all the five areas mentioned above. The newly constructed scale had face validity, content validity and reliability.
