Prathomsuksa Students. M.S. (Behavioral Science) Behavioral Science Research Institute. 


               The main purposes of this researvh were to create and develop training program for Prathomsuksa students'
attitude on water conservation, and for evaluating the training program 
                The sample of this study were fifth grade students of Wat Plukesutha School in Lardkrabang district,
Bangkok in the first semester of the 2000 academic year. Seventy three students were randomly sampling into two
groups. A group of thirty seven students and thirty six students were randomly assigned into the experimental  group
and the control group respectively. The experimental group was trained using attitude on water conservation
program. The control group was trained using "The Handbook on Activities and Materials for Affective
Development in Elementary Level" for one hour a day for eight days. The design was randomized control group
pretest-posttest design. The test on attitude on water conservation was employed before, after and one month afther
training. The statistical analyses were t- test for dependent sample and different score including two-way analysis of
variance ( Two-way ANOVA). The findings were as follows: 
                1.  The attitude and behavior on water conservation of the experimental group after treatment and one
month 
after treatment were significantly higher than before treatment and the control group at the .05  level. 
                2.  The attitude on water conservation of female students, high academic achievement students, and high
democratic child rearing was not significantly higher than those students of opposite characteristics 
                From finding, found that teaching concepts  on water conservation was not sufficient for behavior
changes. This training program can be used with all group of students, especially the group that was high democratic
child rearing
