Abstract

To improve people’s knowledge, skills, and understanding of environmental values and issues for the benefit of both the present and future generations, environmental education aims to alter people’s behavior and attitudes. This research aims to examine the correlation between environmental knowledge and attitudes. This research was conducted using quantitative research methods. The population in this study were all students of the Department of Civil Engineering and Planning, Universitas Negeri Makassar, consisting of 2 (two) classes with a total sample of 66 students. Collecting data in this study using instruments with knowledge and attitude variables. This study uses Simple Linear Regression. The results showed that environmental knowledge and students’ environmental care attitudes positively correlated with a correlation sign of 0.2527. This correlation indicates a weak relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental care attitudes. Attitudes towards the environment can be shown by certain feelings that lead to positive or negative traits. A positive attitude is a real manifestation of the intensity of feelings that pay attention to positive things and the tendency to approach, like, and expect certain objects.
