Abstract

We compared the experience with nature of today’s children with data from the beginning of the 20th century to determine whether we can confirm a loss of experience and contribute to the description of changes in children’s relationship with nature. We used a questionnaire originally published in 1900 for this survey. Results from contemporary participants tested by ANOVA showed no difference in level of experience according to the age of the respondents. Comparing historical data with current data by a Z-test for proportions and Cohen’s h, we found a significant increase in contemporary children’s summary experiences. Although children of the 21st century have less experience with traditional extensive farming activities and biotechnologies, they have much more experience with nature, apparently connected with recreational and field-trip activities. We cannot confirm a decrease in experience among generations, on the contrary, we found a summary increase in experience.
孩子们真的失去了与大自然的联系吗?还是他们的经历与120岁的孩子不同 几年前?
我们将当今儿童与自然的经历与20世纪初的数据进行了比较,以确定我们是否能够确认经验的丧失,并有助于描述儿童与自然关系的变化。我们使用了一份最初于1900年发布的调查问卷。通过方差分析测试的当代参与者的结果显示,根据受访者的年龄,经验水平没有差异。通过比例和科恩h的Z检验,将历史数据与当前数据进行比较,我们发现当代儿童的总结经验显著增加。尽管21世纪的儿童对传统的广泛农业活动和生物技术的体验较少,但他们对自然的体验要多得多,这显然与娱乐和实地考察活动有关。我们无法证实几代人的经验在减少,相反,我们发现经验在总体上增加了。
