V rámci výzkumu bylo analyzováno chování návštěvníků chráněných přírodních lokalit na ostrově Tenerife a byly popsány základní charakteristiky návštěvníků těchto oblastí. Návštěvníci vyplňovali anonymní výzkumné dotazníky sestavené na základě modelu, který propojuje Teorii plánovaného chování s dalšími prvky behaviorální analýzy a za pomoci tohoto výzkumného nástroje byly analyzovány faktory ovlivňující výsledné pro-environmentální chování návštěvníků. Návštěvníci byli také dotazováni, jak vnímají vpřírodních lokalitách situaci týkající se nakládání s odpadky a jak na ně působí vzdělávání ze strany správy daného přírodního parku. Výsledky výzkumu potvrzují význam vlivu environmentální výchovy na environmentální povědomí lidí. Bylo zjištěno, že uvědomění si důsledků chování výrazně ovlivňuje osobní normy a postoje a ty pak mají největší vliv na výsledné pro-environmentální chování návštěvníků. Chráněné přírodní území může mít výchovnou roli, ale také je důležité umožnit návštěvníkům chovat se v tomto prostředí uvědoměle, k čemuž je potřeba zajištění vhodných podmínek (dostatek odpadkových košů, možnost třídit odpad atd.). Výsledky výzkumu také poukázaly na to, že pro-environmentální chování je ovlivněno vnímanou behaviorální kontrolou, tedy tím, jak obtížné je pro návštěvníky chovat se vdaném prostředí určitým způsobem., The research analysed the behaviour of visitors to protected natural sites on the island of Tenerife and described the main characteristics of visitors to these areas. Visitors completed anonymous research questionnaires based on a model that combines the Theory of Planned Behaviour with other elements of behavioural analysis, and using this research tool, the factors influencing visitors' resulting pro-environmental behaviour were analysed. Visitors were also asked how they perceived the situation regarding litter management in the natural sites and how they were influenced by the education provided by the management of the natural park. The research results confirm the importance of the influence of environmental education on people's environmental awareness. It was found that awareness of the consequences of behaviour significantly influences personal norms and attitudes, and these in turn have the greatest impact on the resulting pro-environmental behaviour of visitors. A protected natural area can have an educational role, but it is also important to enable visitors to behave in an environmentally conscious manner, for which the provision of appropriate conditions (sufficient bins, the ability to sort waste, etc.) is needed. The research results also indicated that pro-environmental behaviour is influenced by perceived behavioural control, i.e. how difficult it is for visitors to behave in a certain way in a given environment.

Realizace environmentální výchovy spomocí venkovní výuky je vposledních letech velmi častá. Shoda se objevuje již vhlavní myšlence charakterizující oba pojmy: výuka o přírodě, výuka pro přírodu a výuka vpřírodě (Palmer a Neil, 2003; Donaldson a Donaldson, 2013). Vzdělávání pro životní prostředí i terénní výuka se objevují ve školním kurikulu na mnoha místech, ať již v horizontálním či vertikálním směru – od předškolního až po pregraduální vzdělávání. Tématem, které vtéto oblasti dlouhodobě rezonuje, jsou odpady. Tyto aspekty jsou důvodem realizace odpadové olympiády, na které se podílí naši studenti ve spolupráci sekologickým centrem Sluňákov jako organizátoři a žáci základních či nižších středních škol jako účastníci. Hlavním tématem posledních let byla recyklace odpadů. Příspěvek hodnotí znalosti účastníků olympiády o hlavních pojmech doprovázejících nakládání s odpady: „třízení odpadu“ a „recyklace“. Zaměřuje se na výskyt záměny těchto pojmů a na vliv průběhu venkovní akce naujasnění odpadového pojmosloví., The implementation of environmental education with the help of outdoor education has been common in recent years. There is already a consensus in the main idea that characterizes both terms: learning about nature, learning for nature and learning in nature (Palmer and Neil, 2003; Donaldson and Donaldson, 2013). Both environmental education and outdoor education appear in the school curriculum in many places, both horizontally and vertically, from preschool to undergraduate education. A topic that resonates in this area for a long time is waste. These aspects are the reason for the realization of the Waste competition, in which our students participate as organisers in cooperation with the Sluňákov Ecological Centre and primary or lower secondary school students as participants. The main topic of the last few years has been waste recycling. The paper evaluates the competition participants´ knowledge of the main concepts accompanying waste: "waste sorting" and "recycling". It focuses on the occurrence of confusion between these terms and the impact of the outdoor event on the clarification of waste terminology.

Článek představuje výsledky výzkumu, který se zabýval analýzou environmentálního vzdělávání žáků středních škol sdůrazem na prozkoumání faktorů ovlivňujících pro-environmentální chování. Výzkum využívá model sestavený na základě metody TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior) a metody NAM (Norm Activation Model). Zanalýzy je patrné, že značná část žáků považuje současnou environmentální výchovu za nedostatečnou. Nejčastějším zdrojem informací se voblasti environmentálního vzdělávání stává pro žáky internet a sociální sítě. Stěžejním determinantem pro-environmentálního chování jsou dle výsledků výzkumu postoje a normy respondentů, které je možné vrámci environmentálního vzdělávání ovlivnit skrze budování povědomí o důsledcích chování. Článek se také vzhledem kodlišným výsledkům jednotlivých zahraničních studií obdobného zaměření zamýšlí nad důležitostí lokálního výzkumu voblasti rozvoje environmentálního vzdělávání, který je voblasti analýzy determinantů environmentálního uvědomění stále na samém začátku., The article presents the results of a study that examined the environmental education of high school students, with a focus on examining the factors that influence environmentally friendly behavior. The research uses a model based on the TPB method (Theory of Planned Behavior) and the NAM method (Norm Activation Model). The analysis shows that a significant number of students consider current environmental education to be insufficient. The Internet and social networks become the most common source of information for students in the field of environmental education. According to the results of the research, the most important determinants of environmentally friendly behavior are the attitudes and personal norms of the respondents, which can be influenced in the framework of environmental education by creating awareness of the consequences of behavior. Due to the different results of individual foreign studies with a similar focus, the article also considers the importance of local research in the field of environmental education development, which is still in its infancy in the field of analysis of the determinants of environmental awareness.
