Description

The Earth Force Survey (EFS) is an assessment tool developed to measure students’ environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Its aim is to understand environmental awareness and gauge the impact of participation in environmental action programs, such as those provided by the Earth Force organization. The EFS includes a series of questions designed to evaluate students’ perceptions and knowledge of environmental issues, as well as their willingness to take action to protect the environment.

Analysis and Use of Data

The analysis and use of EFS data focus on understanding how students perceive environmental issues and their willingness to engage in environmental protection activities. The data collected through the EFS is used to evaluate educational programs and develop more effective environmental education initiatives. The survey includes both quantitative and qualitative data, which can be analyzed to determine the impact of environmental programs on students’ environmental awareness.

Purpose

The purpose of the Earth Force Survey is to measure:

The level of students’ knowledge about environmental issues.

Their attitudes towards environmental protection.

Their willingness to participate in environmental actions.

The impact of environmental education programs on students’ perceptions.

Scoring

The scoring of the EFS is based on students’ responses to a series of questions related to their knowledge, attitudes, and intentions to take action. These questions are scored using a Likert scale or other quantitative methods, and the results are analyzed to determine the level of environmental awareness. The Likert scale typically ranges from “Strongly Disagree” to “Strongly Agree,” allowing for an assessment of students’ perceptions based on the frequency or intensity of their responses.
