Consciência e Atitude Ambiental em Estudantes de Instituições de Ensino Técnico e Tecnológico

Abstract

Environmental education is a powerful tool for forming collective environmental awareness from primary school to higher education level. Based on this, this study aims to investigate environmental awareness and environmental behavior among students of a technological educational institution. Using the NEP Scale (Dunlap et al., 2010) through a questionnaire with students it sought to examine the relationship between consciousness and environmental behavior through variables like course, semester, gender and environmental education. The final data generated can be divided into two outcomes: a) environmental awareness, was not observed significant differences between the courses and also for the semesters of respondents. On the other hand, significantly higher levels of environmental awareness were found in women and students who studied environmental education before they enter higher education; b) the environmental behaviour, the highest levels of pro-environmental behavior were found in students of Environmental Engineering, the graduates, on women and college students who studied environmental education before starting higher education. The study results show compliance with other research and suggest area researchers a deepening of the factors that influence these results.

Review of personal environmental indicators

“…In addition, the NEP scale has been used in conjunction with other scales to determine proenvironmental attitudes such as: in various populations [29 ,35], in environmental education [36], in agroindustrial actions [37], in tourism [38], in student behavior [39,40], in pro-environmental behaviors [15], in species conservation actions [41], in academic, national and international actions, etc.…”

Explorando a Relação Entre Consciência Ambiental E Personalidade: Evidências Do Emprego Da Escala Nep E Do Teste Quati

“…A escala do NEP foi obtida após a análise da literatura relevante sobre o tema, escolhendo a proposta de Dunlap et al (2000). Primeiro o questionário foi traduzido do inglês para o português e comparado com algumas outras aplicações em português e espanhol (Guedes et al, 2016;Díaz;Vélez, 2014;Teixeira et al, 2016;Talamini et al, 2017;Talamini, 2019;Reis Neto et al, 2021). O questionário foi dividido em duas seções: a primeira identificou o perfil acadêmico (sexo, faixa de idade e curso), mantendo-se o seu anonimato, e a segunda seção com 15 declarações avaliadas pela escala de sete pontos de Likert de concordância (1= Discordo totalmente a 7=…”

Consumer myopia: a cross-cultural study about the attitude and sustainable behavior of university students

“…Humanity faces serious challenges in regards to sustainability: from an environmental standpoint, climate change and the scarcity of natural resources; and from a societal point of view, there is an increase in inequality (Lorek & Fuchs, 2013). The perception that natural resources are finite and that their extinction threatens human survival has brought political, social, economic and scientific repercussions (Teixeira, Silva-Filho & Meireles, 2016). Through these repercussions, it was observed that there is an urgent need to improve the sustainability practices of both families and organizations (Doyle & Davies, 2013).…”
