Abstract:

Environmental literacy is usually defined as a combination of different dimensions (knowledge, attitudes, behavior, etc.). Similar situation is in the field of technological literacy. There is just a little known about interactions and influences between these two literacies. How is one affecting other? Is there a connection between them? How to assess this connection? When and why do people act environmentally or technologically? These are the questions the article wanted to answer. The design of the research is qualitative. The series of interviews was conducted among Czech pre-service teachers of primary school of all grades. The interviews were analyzed and the results are presented in a standard way. The results show that the relationship between the environmental and technical literacy is not clear and easy to read, but there are “contact areas” that should be focused on in the future research. The conclusion of the article is proposal for quantitative research containing research questions and hypothesis.
