Abstract

For the purpose of contributing to the progress of environmental education programs, a scale for the attitude measurement toward environmental education was constructed by Thurstone's method of equal appearing intervals. Twenty representative opinions arranged on a straight line (psychological continuum) at almost equal-intervals were selected. It enabled us to measure general attitude toward environmental education both in quantity and in quality.
