新北市國中生對於全球暖化相關的知識、態度與行為意向之研究

Abstract

國中階段的青少年正值價值觀建立的黃金時期，因此若要提昇國人關於全球暖化之素養，國中是極為關鍵的重要階段。本研究主要目的在於探討國中生全球暖化相關之知識、態度與行為意向，研究選擇新北市國中生作為研究對象，探討受試者個人背景變項與全球暖化知識、態度與行為意向之相關性，以及新北市國中生全球暖化之知識、態度與行為意向三者間之相關性。

本研究採量化的研究方法，運用自編問卷為研究工具，不同過去多數研究普遍關注「節能減碳」觀點，本研究以「氣候素養」作為全球暖化知識部分題目設計的基礎。在樣本資料收集上，以分層隨機抽樣方式，在新北市九大分區中抽取八年級學生進行問卷發放與施測，總計回收有效樣本數為933份。所得資料以描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關分析、雪費法事後分析進行資料處理。

研究結果發現新北市國中生的全球暖化相關知識表現屬「良好」，其態度趨於「正向積極」，且行為意向表現「略偏正向」。而在不同背景變項分析方面，發現「城鄉」、「母親職業」、「父母親學歷」及「是否主動上網瀏覽相關網頁」，皆會影響新北市國中生整體知識、態度與行為意向之表現。整體而言，新北市國中生的全球暖化相關知識、態度與行為意向間呈現「正相關」。
