Environmental Attitudes and Behaviors of High Secondary School Students in Kosovo
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Environmental education is very important for preparation of young generation to solve.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Scale's dimensionality among high school students in two secondary schools in Malisheva, Kosovo, and to use it to examine the worldviews of young people in both the Municipality of Malisheva and the Republic of Kosovo regarding the environment.In total, 1453 students from 2 secondary schools, ages 14 to 18, participated in this study.A varimax rotation was used after the dataset acquired from the scale was analyzed using the principal component analysis factor extraction method.According to this study, all five dimensions balancing, antianthropocentrism, the fragility of nature's balance, rejection of exceptionalism, and the possibility of an eco-crisis-are loaded equally.The frequency distribution of the students' replies was used to determine their worldviews with regard to the environment.The frequency distribution of the students' responses has shown pro-ecologically or pro NEP attitudes and behaviors with the average mean NEP score 68.91%, comparing to pro-anthropocentrism or Dominant Social Paradigm DSP endorsed by 28.6%.We concluded that although the NEP score is relatively high, the DSP paradigm is also present among the High school students.There were no significant differences between NEP and DSP views which is typical for less industrialized societies.Our findings indicate that students are concerned about the environment, however they still need to be environmentally educated in order to develop positive attitudes and behaviors toward the nature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
