| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to establish baseline data relating to the environmental knowledge and beliefs of fifth-year secondary students in England. The instrument developed for the survey consisted of three questionnaires, each containing a total of 45 cognitive and affective items. All items were pilot tested in nine English secondary schools. A random sample of 500 secondary schools, representing the major types of schools in England, was mailed packaged instructions including the instrument. A total of 383 schools responded, providing information from over 11,000 fifth-year students. Although the students appeared to have a poor command of factual environmental knowledge, they demonstrated a greater understanding of environmental concepts and generally expressed positive attitudes toward the environment. Significant differences in environmental knowledge were found with respect to sex, school type, sex composition of the school, school size and region. Significant differences in environmental attitude were found with respect to school type and sex composition of the school, but attitudinal differences could not be attributed to sex, school size or region. The computation of correlation coefficients revealed relationships between conceptual knowledge and attitude (r = 0.48), factual and conceptual knowledge (r = 0.44), and factual knowledge and attitude (r = 0.38).
