Abstract :

This article stresses the importance of trying to uncover and understand students' value attitudes. Since we cannot see the values themselves, observing students' behaviour, asking the right questions and encouraging them to share their thoughts can give us insight into their attitudes. This knowledge could be used to personalise the content of learning and to choose which teaching methods to use. By creating learning situations with direct experience, we allow connections to be made between knowledge and concrete experiences. Equally important is the experience that learners already have. This paper describes a methodology that was used to identify students' expression of environmental values through their favourite places. A 3-step activity was carried out with 22 second grade learners. The results of the activity show that the majority of the students chose their favourite places in nature, some of them specific locations, others nature in a non-literal sense.
