Research questions: What is the level of EL at the end of primary school in Serbia? What are the main features of EI of the students who excel in EL indicators? What are the main life experiences relevant to the formation of their relationship with the environment? What are the specificities of the classes and schools that outstand in EL? After determination of the EL level of students of final grades of primary school in Serbia (applying Middle School Environmental Literacy Scale) on a stratified sample (40 classes, approximately 850 students), two classes with the highest score in EL will be selected. They will participate in semi-structured group interviews, exploring their EI and the significant life experiences influencing EI formation. Finally, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with school employees, in order to explore the learning context, and school/class specificities, potentially related to the participating students’ EI and EL.
