It was carried out on a sample of total 151 B.Ed. students (both boys and girls) selected through random sampling. To measure the environmental awareness of B.Ed. students, the researcher has used self-developed tool viz., a multiple-choice questionnaire. To know the results obtained from scores, statistical calculation of scores was done using Mean, Standard Deviation, Correlation Coefficient and t-Test.
