Background: Environmental awareness and understanding of environmental issues are influential variables in environmental behaviors, and it is imperative for the community to educate on human behavior. It is only in the light of this type of training that many resolved environmental crises and sustainable development are realized. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of education on promoting environmentally responsible behaviors of first grade high school students in Ilam in 2016.
Methods: This study was an empirical study that was done on female high school students in Ilam city in 2016. Data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. Two girls' high schools were randomly selected from the first public high schools of Ilam and randomly assigned to the experimental (N= 165) and control (N= 165) groups. Educational intervention was designed and implemented in 5-sessions of 30-minutes including environmental concepts, waste production and recycling, air and water pollution, water and energy saving, sewage and disposal methods for the case group. One month after the intervention, students in both groups were evaluated. Data were analyzed with SPSS software using independent t-test, paired t-test, chi-square, correlation and regression.
Results: Despite the similarity of the groups in the mean scores of knowledge, attitude and responsible behavior before intervention (P>0.05), there was a significant difference in the mean scores of all variables between the two groups after the intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Community education is an effective strategy to raise environmental information, Developing environmental sensitivity and beliefs and ultimately promoting responsible environmental behaviors among first grade female students.
