Anonymized survey dataset on non-formal environmental education and children's nature connectedness

This dataset contains anonymized survey responses collected within the framework of the research titled “The role of non-formal environmental education in developing children’s nature connectedness and a comparative empirical analysis with formal classroom education.” The survey was conducted among four respondent groups: teachers in formal education, facilitators in non-formal education, parents of students receiving formal education, and parents of learners actively participating in non-formal education. The dataset aims to support a comparative empirical analysis of how formal classroom education and non-formal environmental education contribute to children’s nature connectedness, environmental awareness, ecological responsibility, learning motivation, and pro-environmental behaviour. The data were collected for a scientific study to be conducted within the framework of the 11th Annual International Conference “Education, Science and Technology for a Sustainable Future”, October 12–13, 2026, Caucasus University, Tbilisi, Georgia. All responses were collected anonymously and are intended for academic research purposes only.
