Students‘ Environmental Citizenship in Technological University, November 2020 - January 2021

Listed in LiDA

The purpose of the study: to evaluate a case of an educational intervention designed to foster environmental citizenship among undergraduate students of a technological university.

Description

Major investigated questions: firstly, the respondents were asked which of the optional KTU alternative study programmes they were studying. A block of questions asked whether they had ever been involved in different environmental organisations, associations or groups outside school or university.

They were asked whether they often sort glass, cans, plastics, newspapers or similar items for recycling and whether they often avoid buying certain products for environmental reasons. A block of questions was used to investigate knowledge of environmental problems and solutions and social activities before entering university. It asked about the university modules in which the respondents had studied environmental values, problems/behaviour and citizenship-related topics.

In the following blocks of questions, respondents assessed the importance of civic and political participation and their competences in relation to raising environmental issues in the public sphere. They also assessed statements about humanity's relationship with the environment and wanted to know about their intentions to act in the future as students, based on environmental citizenship at university, and in society as citizens in the future, after graduation.

A further block of questions assessed respondents' general environmental attitudes. At the end of the questionnaire, respondents were asked whether they had lived in an urban or rural environment when they were children (aged 6-14) and young people (aged 15-18). Accordingly, they were asked how often they had had experiences in nature and how positive they were about these experiences.

Finally, they were asked to describe their relationship with nature and to indicate the extent to which the respondents were interested in nature when they were children (6-14 years) and young people (15-18 years). Socio-demographic characteristics: field of study, gender, age, mother tongue, most spoken language, type of accommodation, social class, working status. This study is partly based on work from Cost Action ENEC – European Network for Environmental Citizenship (CA16229) supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
