Özet
The study aims to examine primary school second level students' electronic waste awareness and environmental attitudes. A total of 250 students attending primary schools in Kahramanmaras province center in Turkey during 2011-2012 educational year participated in the study. The study that employed survey model utilized "Environmental Attitude Scale" and "Electronic Waste Awareness Survey". Results of the study presented meaningful relationships between students' environmental attitudes and the type of school they attend to and parental income level while no meaningful relationships were found between environmental attitudes and variables of gender, grade and mother's or father's educational levels. Electronic waste survey results show that students have insufficient information or are misinformed about electronic wastes.
