Abstract
This study assessed Illinois K-12 public school teachers' preparation to infuse environmental education (EE) concepts into their teaching, their attitudes toward EE, and the extent to which they are currently infusing EE concepts into their teaching. A modified version of a questionnaire developed by the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education was mailed to a random sample of 500 K-12 public school teachers in the spring of 1994. The findings from the sample for this study, although only statistically generalizable to the population at .06 < p < .07, are remarkably similar to the findings of a parallel study of Wisconsin teachers. The findings indicate that teachers need both more preservice and in service training and that their attitudes toward EE are largely positive, yet the overwhelming majority of teachers in the sample reported that they spend less than 1 hr per week teaching about the environment or environmental issues. The findings of this study are compared with those from Wisconsin.
