Survey of Students’ Attitudes Towards Natural Assets in Relation to the Museum and Field Sessions of the Kozárd Geological Section

Abstract

The aim of our study is to investigate the attitudes of elementary school students as a result of museum and field ac­tivi­ties at the Kozárd geological section. During the study, one group of students participated in both museum and field sessions, another group only visited the field site, and the control group of a similar number of students did not participate in either of the two programs. In this study, we investigated the students’ approach and attitude towards living and non-living natural assets with the help of mind maps and the application of the Likert scale. The results show that the biggest change in attitude occurred when the field work was supplemented by a museum program.
