大学生气候变化意识的一次调查——以南京农业大学为例

 大学气候变化教育是国家应对气候变化能力建设的重要组成部分。通过一个自主设计的问卷，随机抽样调查了南京农业大学部分在校本科生，评价和分析了其对气候变化问题的认识水平、应对行动态度与行动的意愿性等。结果表明，被调查者在气候变化与农业的关系上有较高的认知，但在气候变化意识的不同方面和年级间及专业间都存在一定差异。农学类学生对于温室气体的产生途径及其与气候变化的关系了解不够，不过，高年级学生和农科类学生关于气候变化与农业关系方面的认知分别显著高于低年级和文科类学生。然而，学生个体间在应对气候变化的参与态度上有很大差异，而气候变化的总体意识和参与态度与年级关系相对较弱。看来，高等农业院校本科教育中急需加强气候变化教育。建议开设气候变化及其应对的公共选修课或专门气候变化管理课程，以适应应对气候变化的人才培养需求。

A Questionnaire Survey on Global Climate Change Consciousness Among Agricultural University Undergraduates and Its Analysis--A Case of Nanjing Agricultural University

Climate change education in universities has been one of key issues for enhancing nation's capacity of adapting and mitigating climate change. A questionnaire survey was conducted at Nanjing Agricultural University among total 140 student participants who were randomly sampled from different specialties and grades. Digital scores were used for the answers and assessed for the positiveness towards the questions for basic knowledge of climate change, relation between agriculture and climate change, and altitude in response to climate change. The results show a generally fair awareness of climate change although the positiveness on the questions varied with the question issues, and with the grades and specialties of the student participants. However, the participants obtained relatively lower scores for the warming causes and generation of greenhouse gases. The students in high grades and in specialty of agricultural sciences had significantly stronger awareness of climate change and agriculture than those in lower grades (1-3 grades generally) and in cultural and economical sciences, respectively. Much high variability was observed in student's altitude towards climate change mitigation and adaptation, while not much difference among participants of different grades. Education of climate change affairs is urgent to meet the demand of human resources for struggling with future climate change. The authors suggest that a public selective curriculum on climate change and relevant mitigation options should be offered, and climate change management curriculum can be opened in the university in conditions.
