摘要

缺乏对自然环境的参与可能会降低人们对环境和生物多样性保护问题的认识。因此,为了提高学生的意识,科学教师应该开展与生物多样性相关的活动,让学生与自然环境建立更紧密的联系。这项研究评估了115名巴西大学生识别本地和外来野生哺乳动物的能力。大学生识别物种的能力模式是通过一系列变量(大学水平、年龄、性别、与农村有关的经历、家庭农业、捕鱼和狩猎)预测的。学生正确识别外来哺乳动物的频率高于本土哺乳动物。我们发现,根据学生的经验(大学水平、年龄组、捕鱼和狩猎),有不同的物种群。此外,我们发现,对本土物种的正确识别主要与年龄较大的男学生有关,他们经常去农村,参加与农业、渔业和狩猎有关的活动。我们的研究结果支持了之前的研究,这些研究表明,实地调查课程对于增加日益城市化的社会与当地自然环境的联系至关重要。我们建议,为了培养大学生对本地哺乳动物物种丰富性的认识,以及对其保护重要性的认识,纳入实地调查是必要的。

Age and Fieldwork Experience Increase Brazilian University Students’ Ability to Identify Wild Mammals
A lack of engagement with the natural environment can reduce awareness of issues surrounding environmental and biodiversity conservation. Therefore, to increase students’ awareness, science teachers should develop activities related to biodiversity, bringing students into closer connection with the natural environment. This study evaluated the ability of 115 Brazilian university students’ to identify native and alien wild mammals. Patterns in university students’ ability to identify species were predicted by a combination of variables (university-level, age, gender, experience linked to countryside, family farming, fishing, and hunting). Students correctly identified alien mammals more frequently than native mammals. We found distinct groups of species in function of students’ experience (university-level, age group, fishing, and hunting). In addition, we found that the correct identification of native species was mainly associated with older male students who go regularly to the countryside, and participate in activities linked to farming, fishing, and hunting. Our findings support those from previous studies that show fieldwork classes are essential to increase the contact of an increasingly urbanized society with the local natural environment. We suggest that inclusion of fieldwork is necessary for the development of university students’ awareness regarding the richness of native mammal species and consequently, the importance of their conservation.
