Abstract
This study aims to examine the preschool Syrian children's attitudes towards some environmental issues (consumption patterns, environmental protection, recycling-reuse, and life habits) based on the ecocentric and anthropocentric approach. Content analysis research was carried out as the aimed to reveal how children make sense of some environmental phenomena. The sample group consists of 74 Syrian children in early childhood age, attending a kindergarten. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews through the illustrated Turkish version of the "The Children's Attitudes towards the Environment Scale-Preschool Version (CATES-PV)" interview form. The content analysis technique was used in the analysis of qualitative data. The current research results show that most of the children's responses to consumption patterns and daily life habits are anthropocentric, while they are ecocentric towards environmental protection, recycling, and reuse. In line with these results, important recommendations have been presented for teachers, parents, and researchers who work with Syrian children.
