The project deals with the research of environmental attitudes of pupils in the 8th class. A quantitative survey aims to find relationships between knowledge, attitudes and actual behaviour of pupils in this field. There is also a qualitative dimension in the research, which focuses on categories of pupils´ perception of endangered nature at an emotional level. The results of the research will be directly reflected in the dissertation thesis. The research is related to the research of pupils´ attitudes to individualised transport as an ecologically problematic phenomenen (the research of pupils´ attitudes to individualised transport is a part of the dissertation thesis).
