Abstract
The present study aims to investigate prospective teachers' (PTs') and secondary students' (SSs') ideas related to environmental issues. A case study design was adopted in this study. SSs (n = 100) who received instruction on environmental issues and PTs (n = 150) who attended courses concerning environmental education were participated in this study. An open-ended questionnaire was designed and used as a data collection tool. Written answers of the participants were analysed in ideographic terms. The results of the study showed that the PTs held a range of alternative ideas similar to SSs. They both linked environmental problems which were irrelevant with cause' effect chain. Yet, PTs provided a more scientific definitions regarding greenhouse effect, global warming and ozone layer depletion as compared to SSs. Keywords: Global environmental issues, prospective teachers, secondary students, environmental education, greenhouse effect, global warming, ozone layer depletion.
