Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate global warming awareness among Applied science Private University students. A total of 365 students were tested using a questionnaire covering four aspects of global warming including causes, effects, evidence, and solutions. The study included students of science and humanities faculties in all academic years of both sexes, and a significant dependency ratio (p < 0.05) was recorded. The results showed that female students had greater knowledge of the global warming effect than male students, that academically superior students with excellent grades had more knowledge of the four aspects covered by the questionnaire than their lower-level peers, and that students from science colleges were more familiar than humanities students with the causes. and solutions related to global warming. In addition, students who received environmental development courses at the university were more knowledgeable than the rest of the students about the effect, cause, and evidence of global warming, which indicates a direct positive effect of university education.

应用理科生对全球变暖及其对环境影响的认知和意识

本研究的目的是调查应用科学私立大学学生对全球变暖的认识。共有365名学生接受了问卷调查，问卷涵盖了全球变暖的四个方面，包括原因、影响、证据和解决方案。这项研究包括了所有学年的科学和人文学院的男女学生，并记录了显著的抚养比（p<0.05）。结果表明，女生比男生更了解全球变暖的影响，成绩优异的学业优秀学生比低水平的同龄人更了解问卷所涵盖的四个方面，科学学院的学生比人文学院的学生更熟悉原因。以及与全球变暖有关的解决方案。此外，在该大学接受环境发展课程的学生比其他学生更了解全球变暖的影响、原因和证据，这表明大学教育具有直接的积极影响。

期刊介绍： WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development publishes original research papers relating to the studying of environmental sciences. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with sustainable development, climate change, natural hazards, renewable energy systems and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
