國內環境教育相關研究所學生能源認知與態度之研究

Abstract

本研究旨在透過適切的調查，以瞭解我國環境教育相關研究所學生能源認知程度與能源態度之傾向，所使用之研究工具為考量國內外能源與環境情勢，並參考相關文獻後所擬定之「環境教育相關研究所學生能源認知與態度問卷」，研究對象為我國七所環境教育相關研究所學生，共計發出問卷242份，有效問卷數為172份，有效回收率71%。問卷結果以統計套裝軟體SPSS 10.0進行統計分析，所採用之統計方法包括次數分配、百分比敘述、平均數、標準差、t檢定、單因子變異數分析及Pearson積差相關分析。根據研究結果，歸納出本研究之結論如下： ●男性學生在「永續能源」的認知程度上及「能源與環境」、「節約能源」的態度傾向上優於女性學生。 ●30-39歲學生在「能源基礎概念」的認知程度上優於其它年齡層，而20~29 歲學生之能源態度最為正向積極。 ●文、法、商科系畢業的學生在「節約能源」認知程度上優於其他科系；理、工科系畢業的學生在「永續能源」認知程度上及「能源與環境」態度表現上優於其他科系；而農業科系畢業的學生在「核能發電」態度傾向上優於其他科系。 ●不同能源研習時數在「永續能源」認知程度上及「能源與環境」、「核能發電」與「節約能源」等能源態度上造成顯著差異。 ●全職學生在「永續能源」的認知程度較在職進修學生高，不同行業別之在職進修學生在「整體能源態度」傾向上並無顯著差異。 ●研究對象對「永續能源」的認知程度的高低影響其「節約能源」及「能源與環境」的態度傾向。 最後並根據本研究所得之結論提出建議，以供能源教育規劃者、能源教育執行者及後續研究者做為參考。The main purpose of this study is to, by appropriate investigation, reveal the energy cognition and attitude tendency of students in domestic graduate school of Environmental Education. The applied research method is a questionnaire survey: “Survey of Energy Cognition and Attitude of students in Graduate Schools of Environmental Education”, which is formulated by taking into consideration of foreign and domestic energy and environmental circumstances at present, and consulting relevant researches. Objects of this research are students from 7 domestic graduate schools of environmental education. In total, 242 questionnaires were issued, valid questionnaires amounted to 172, and the valid retrieve rate is 71 percent. These questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 software package, using statistic techniques including frequency distribution, percentile description, mean, standard deviation, T-test, one-way ANOVA analysis, and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. According to the results, a conclusion as the following can be made:

●Male students perform better than female students on “Sustainable Energy” cognition and “Energy and Environment“ and “Energy Conservation” attitude. ●Students at ages of 30-39 show better cognition on “Basic Knowledges of Energy” than all other age groups, and students at ages of 20-29 show the most positive and active energy attitude. ●Students graduated from College of Liberal Arts, Law, and Business perform better on “Energy Conservation” cognition than all students with other educational backgrounds, while those from College of Science and Engineer perform the best in ”Sustainable Energy” and “Energy and Environment” cognition, and those from College Agriculture perform best in “Nuclear Energy” attitude. ●The period of Energy Course taken is significantly relative to “Sustainable Energy” cognition and “Energy and Environment”, “Nuclear Energy” and “Energy Conservation” attitude. ●Full-time students perform better in “Sustainable Energy” cognition than students taking in-service training courses, and vocations of the latter do not lead to significant tendency difference in “Overall Energy Attitude”. ●When considering study objects as a whole, “Sustainable Energy” cognition is found to have positive relation with “Energy Conservation” and “Energy and Environment” attitude tendency.

Finally, in accordance with the results of this study, certain suggestions are made for reference of energy education planners, conductors, and researchers for further studies.
