- Abstract
The environmental problem is one of the main challenges facing teachers. The aim of this study is to find out how personal characteristics and circumstances can influence the attitudes of future teachers to transformative environmental education. For this purpose, a sample of 889 students was used from degree courses in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education in Spain, analyzing their scores on the factors of the validated questionnaire Attitudes Scale toward Environmental Education (ASEE) by means of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results obtained indicate that factors such as gender, type of pre-university school, and family education should be taken into account, as they have practical implications for training future teachers in what we call Transformative Environmental Education.
