國小學童環境問題認知探討－－以屏東市與枋寮鄉為例

Investigation of the Cognition towards Environmental Problems in Elementary School Students: An Example in Pingtung City and Fangliao Township

本研究皆在探討屏東地區國小學童環境問題認知現況，並進一步探討不同背景（年級、性別、地區、父母親學歷與職業）的學童在環境知識、環境問題認知上的差異。利用問卷調查法蒐集資料，以屏東地區國小高年級學童為研究對象，採非隨機抽樣的方式，選取屏東市2所和材寮鄉4 所學校共1,165 名學生填答問卷，計有1,103份有效樣本，並以描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾遜積差相關等進行統計分析。研究結果如下：1.學童認為垃圾亂丟為最嚴重的環境問題，其他依次為空氣污染、噪音污染。2.屏東市學童認為噪音污染、空氣污染、交通問題為較嚴重環境問題；枋寮鄉的學童則認為噪音污染、空氣污染、燃燒垃圾、噴灑農藥、海岸很髒為較嚴重環境問題。屏東市學童在交通問題、燃燒垃圾、噴灑農藥、海岸很髒的選項上與枋寮鄉學童有所不同。3.學童環境知識主要來源為學校師長，其次為家人和電視，安親班老師僅佔少數比例。4.學童的環境問題認知會因為年級、地區、父母親的學歷與職業而有顯著差異，但不會因為性別不同而有顯著差異。
