ESTUDANDO A EDUCAÇÃO DE ALUNOS DA UNIVERSIDADE PRÍNCIPE SETAM BIN ABDULAZIZ, PROVÍNCIA DE AL-KHARJ, EM RELAÇÃO A QUESTÕES AMBIENTAIS
Palavras-chave:
Educação, Conscientização sobre mudanças climáticas, Atitudes ambientais positivas, Estudantes universitários, Província de Al-KharjResumo
A educação da conscientização ambiental sobre as mudanças climáticas e a promoção de comportamentos ambientais positivos em todos os aspectos da vida são cruciais para promover práticas sustentáveis. Indivíduos com uma boa compreensão das mudanças climáticas são mais propensos a se envolver em comportamentos de apoio ambiental e manter atitudes positivas, contribuindo assim para um futuro sustentável. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo educar alunos da Universidade Prince Setam bin Abdulaziz, província de Al-Kharj, sobre questões ambientais. Além disso, buscou examinar a relação entre a conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas e atitudes ambientais positivas e explorar a possibilidade de prever a conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas com base no pensamento positivo. Um total de 388 alunos participaram do estudo. Os pesquisadores administraram um questionário de conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas e uma escala de atitudes ambientais positivas. Eles empregaram um método descritivo-analítico, especificamente a abordagem correlacional preditiva, para iluminar os padrões de relacionamento entre as variáveis da pesquisa e prever suas associações. As descobertas revelaram um alto nível de conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas e atitudes ambientais positivas entre a amostra. Além disso, correlações positivas estatisticamente significativas foram encontradas entre a conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas e o pensamento positivo. Além disso, os resultados demonstraram o potencial de prever a conscientização sobre as mudanças climáticas a partir de atitudes ambientais positivas dentro da amostra. De acordo com os resultados, pode-se dizer que a educação dos alunos pode ser útil para melhorar a produtividade do ambiente.
