Mixed methods research including both qualitative and quantitative studies has been used in the present research. 135 Grade 8 students constituted the sample.

The questionnaires have been administered to the participants in normal course conditions. Analysis of the data has been done by researchers and an expert.

Findings show that participants have different views on this issue. For instance, most of the participants considered that technology was the reason of the environment problems.

Ki-Kare results showed that there is no any significant relation between genders. Given the present results, we can say that the environment and technology are intertwined in the school students’ minds so a meaningful integration of these dimensions based on students’ preconceptions and reasoning modes may provide better learning outcomes in the cases of technology and environmental education.Fatih AYDINFatma Nazlı KARAAFırat Universityarticletechnologyenvironmental problemstudentSocial SciencesHSocial sciences (General)H1-99DEENFRTRJournal of Academic Social Science Studies , Vol 6, Iss 22, Pp 133-149 (2021)
