| Özet |
| This study aims to conduct an in-depth investigation of the intentions toward renewable energy use among 813 middle school students attending three different public schools in the province of Bursa, Turkey, within the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior. The research proposed a model consisting of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention components, and tests the validity of this model through Structural Equation Modeling. A multidimensional'Intention Toward Renewable Energy Use Scale'was designed to measure intentions and its validity was tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The analysis results indicated that the developed scale has high validity and reliability coefficients. Structural Equation Modeling techniques were employed to examine the relationships between the components of the proposed model. The findings revealed that the students' attitude and perceived behavioral control variables positively predict intentions toward renewable energy use. However, the results also indicated that another critical component of this model, subjective norms, does not have a significant impact on intentions toward renewable energy use. These outcomes suggest that, particularly in a social and cultural context specific to the middle school student population, components of the Theory of Planned Behavior might display a different impact profile. These insights could guide important policy and educational practices, especially in Turkey where socio-cultural factors may play a crucial role in shaping behavior and intentions. |
