Abstract (2. Language): 
The purpose of the present study is to determine elementary school teachers’ attitudes towards environment. The study was conducted in the fall term of 2012-2013 school year. The study is a descriptive study employing cross-sectional survey model. Totally 878 elementary school teachers from 53 different cities participated in the study. As a data collection tool, Environmental Attitude Questionnaire was used. As a result of the study, it was found that the teachers have high level of positive attitudes towards environment (M= 170.42, ss= 15.94). Moreover, it was found that the female teachers have more positive attitudes towards environment than the male teachers (U= 83694, z= -3.18, p= .001, r= 0.1). In terms of professional seniority variable, the teachers having a length of service ranging from 1 to 5 years have more positive attitudes (Md= 173, n= 211) than the teachers having a length of service of 26 year and more (Md= 166, n= 54); and the teachers working for 16-20 years have more positive attitudes (Md= 174, n= 158) than the teachers working for 26 years or longer (Md= 166, n= 54).
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu araştırmanın amacı ilkokullarda görev yapan öğretmenlerin çevreye yönelik tutumlarını belirlemektir. Araştırma 2012-2013 eğitim-öğretim yılı güz döneminde yapılmıştır. Araştırma, enlemsel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen betimsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmaya 53 farklı ilden toplam 878 öğretmen katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Çevresel Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmenlerin çevreye yönelik yüksek tutuma (M= 170.42, ss= 15.94) sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular kadın öğretmenlerin erkek öğretmenlere göre çevreye yönelik daha olumlu tutum sergilediklerini göstermiştir (U= 83694, z= -3.18, p= .001, r= 0.1). Mesleki kıdem değişkeni açısından 1-5 yıllık hizmete sahip olan öğretmenlerin (Md= 173, n= 211), 26 yıl ve üstü hizmete sahip öğretmenlere (Md= 166, n= 54); 16-20 yıllık öğretmenlerinde (Md= 174, n= 158), 26 yıl ve üstü hizmeti olan öğretmenlere (Md= 166, n= 54) göre daha yüksek olumlu tutum sergiledikleri sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin çevreye yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olması şüphesiz ki öğrencilerine de yansıyacaktır. Bu nedenle, araştırmacılar öğretmenlerin çevreye yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesinin önemine inanmaktadır.
