Abstract

Global warming is being progressed out of question and consequently, climate change is accelerated. Under this situation, not only recognition and attitude but also practice will for climate change would be important. The objective of this study is to provide basic data and implications of the climate change education for the secondary school students by surveying recognition, attitude and practice will of the middle school students. For this objective, a questionnaire was performed by targeting 288 middle school students being distributed in 3 districts of Seoul and its result is as follows. First, considerable number of students learned of the contents of climate change through media and they had correct knowledge about its cause and effect. Second, average score of an attitude for climate change was above normal score but compared with that of recognition level for climate change, it was represented to be low. Third, score of practice will for climate change was also above normal but compared with that of recognition for climate change, it was represented to be low. Climate change education is required to be performed for a change of attitude, practice will as well as recognition of the students, It is suggested that school education is required to focus on guiding the students to have right knowledge and attitude for climate change and fostering a sense of responsibility and practice will of the students.
