Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a structural relationship model of knowledge of LCA plastic, and environmental education affecting to environmental conservation behavior for global warming alleviation through inspiration of public mind.   The population was 18,871 lower secondary school students from schools under Secondary Service Area Office 26 (Mahasarakham), Northeastern region of Thailand in academic year of 2013. The research instrument was the questionnaire. The samples were collected by Cluster random sampling technique to collect 400 lower secondary school students.


The questionnaire was used for data collection and it had IOC>0.50 with reliability of whole questionnaire of 0.971. Structural Equation model (SEM) was used for model verification. Results revealed that the structural model of confirmatory factors of Knowledge of Life Cycle Assessment Plastic (LCAP), and Environmental Education (EE) could be used to explain the variation of endogenous factors of Inspiration of Public Mind (PM) to cause Environmental Conservation Behavior for Global Warming Alleviation (BEH) with 78.00 percent. Moreover, confirmatory factors of LCAP and EE could be used  to explain the variation of PM with 68.00 percent.
