Research Abstract |
The main stream of this research working has been flowed through the investigation of environmental attitude of primary and secondary students in Thailand and Japan, to that of the relation between the sense of environmental and pro-social attitude of them. Results showed a weak but significant positive relation between these two attitudes. However, we could find differences between knowledge and practical performances in Thai students. We guessed it needed more time to realize the co-incidence between their attitude and knowledge. In 2nd year, this results were presented in WCCI international Conference at Australia. An investigation on the Environmental problem of Mekhon River was started as one of subprojects of this project. In 3rd year, the Thai co-research workers were invited to study the International Exhibition (so called, Environmental EXPO). These research working results shall contribute on the environmental education in Thailand through these co-research workers. The reports of them are going to be published soon. The investigation was carried out on the affect of the Sumatra earthquake on the environmental sense and mind on the Thai students, which was firstly provided in Murch. Results showed, contrary with our supposition, in spite of the big scale of damage, Thai students have kept the trusty for both religion and science. We could conclude that the trusty for science had been enhanced by observing the volunteers from throughout the world to rescue them and observing the science techniques for re-constructing the environment and identifying the victims. Comparing with Japanese students, these results should attract attention remarkably. It is expected for these results to be published soon.
