Abstract :

This paper attempts to find the relationship between the awareness on disaster management and naturalistic intelligence of prospective teachers. Simple random sampling technique was used, to draw a sample of 1041 (105 male and 936 female) prospective teachers from Colleges of Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Kanyakumari Districts in Tamil Nadu. The Disaster Management Awareness Scale was employed to assess the awareness on disaster management and, the Naturalistic Intelligence Inventory was used to assess naturalistic intelligence with five dimensions, namely Admiration, Outdoor deeds, Environmental wakefulness, Biophilia and Logical hobbies. The correlation coefficient result reveals that there is significant positive relationship between awareness on disaster management and naturalistic intelligence of prospective teachers.
