STUDENT WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

Project-based learning (PBL) plays a crucial role in environmental education, as it allows students to engage actively with sustainability challenges. The aim of this study is to evaluate the attitudes of students at a selected upper secondary school towards participation in project-based learning focused on environmental topics. The quantitative research was conducted in one selected secondary school in South Bohemia. A total of 168 students participated in the survey. Overall, the results indicate a generally positive attitude among the surveyed students towards environmental topics in education, as well as towards PBL focused on environmental issues. However, hypothesis testing showed that students’ willingness to participate in such targeted PBL was not significantly influenced by selected socio-demographic variables or by the level of environmental knowledge acquired through formal education.
