The aim of this research was to show the correlation between renewable energy knowledge and sub-dimensions of attitude towards renewable energy with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The research was conducted by the analysis of 1145 pre-service teachers’ answers to questionnaires data using SEM. Two questionnaires used for data collection which first was renewable energy knowledge scale that Cronbach’s alpha was .82 and the second was renewable energy attitude scale that Cronbach’s alpha was .87.  Initially, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett’s tests were done with SPSS to test appropriateness of subdimensions to factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis was done for the subdimensions that were seen to be suitable for factor analysis and then structural model was tested with LISREL. At the end of the SEM test, it was found that there are positive relations between renewable energy knowledge of preservice teachers and their attitudes towards renewable energy. The more knowledge and attitudes about renewable energy can be improved, the more positive attitudes and behaviors will be provided to individuals and the efficient use of renewable energy types will be realized.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">866-879</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Markóczi Revák, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erzsébet Jász</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enikő Kovács</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Károly Teperics</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Judit Ütő Visi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">János Máth</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO RENEWABLE ENERGY AND SOME OF ITS INFLUENCING FACTORS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">project work</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">renewable energy knowledge</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">school curriculum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">theme work</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">word association</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2019</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2019/987-1576226295.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shaping attitude related to renewable energy resources is the task of the entire society and in the case of students of different ages it is realized via education in and outside schools. This research concerns the analysis of the knowledge of students related to renewable energy resources, exploring the differences in the case of students in different grades and also the identification of correlations between the knowledge for renewable energy and some of its influencing factors. The research was carried out in spring 2018 with 4th (N=466) and 7th (N=529) graders in primary school and also with 11th graders (N=328) in secondary school in Hungary. Association and selection tasks applied in the research were related to knowledge of renewable energy resources and three questions concerned influencing factors. Assessment was performed based on the word association test. Results indicate poor and less stable knowledge in the case of every grade. The knowledge structure of the grades is similar, solar, water and wind are the most well-known renewable energy resources. Regarding knowledge, the type of the settlement of residence, education level of parents, school curriculum, textbook, theme weeks, project work, media and internet were important among influencing factors. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">924-942</style></section></record></records></xml>
