ABSTRACT
In this work, the Holland’s methodology is modified for the categorization of human personalities by including
queries (in the corresponding questionnaire that serves as an evaluation tool)
investigating its responders’ attitude as regards
his/her willingness to be professionally engaged with the natural or/and
anthropogenic environment. The population used as representative sample
consisted of 250 students following courses at high school and university
level. The quantitative methods used were descriptive statistics, parametric
and non-parametric statistics hypothesis (on causal relations) testing,
categorical semantics, ontological mapping fuzzy sets and interval algebra. The
results obtained showed relative significant internal consistency at
macro-level for almost half of the interviewees, but the dependence of answers
to environmental queries on the rest responds to the rest queries was insignificant,
indicating lack of specific knowledge and clarification of the corresponding
concepts at micro-level.
KEYWORDS
Environmental education, Holland’s theory, questionnaire design, hypothesis testing, vocational typology.
