Abstract	:	The purposes of this study were to: (a) determine the level of environmental literacy (EL) of secondary school students in Saudi Arabia with regard to selected factors in the domains of environmental knowledge, affective dispositions, cognitive skills, and environmentally responsible behavior; (b) explore the relationship of EL components among each other; and (c) identify some selected factors that may predict the environmental responsible behavior. The researcher selected the targeted variables (i.e., environmental knowledge, cognitive skills, environmental sensitivity, willingness to act, and environmentally responsible behavior) based on the definitions and frameworks of environmental literacy, prior research and, the results of the three preliminary studies conducted. Those preliminary studies were: a content analysis of (a) research studies in environmental education in Saudi Arabia, and (b) middle and secondary science textbooks in Saudi Arabia; and (c) a phenomenological study of environmental sensitivity and environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) among secondary students in Saudi Arabia.
