新北市國小學童對氣候變遷認知與調適能力之研究

全球氣候變遷與溫室效應的影響日益明顯，極端氣候已對世界與臺灣造成衝擊，也讓人類社會面臨前所未有的挑戰，已非靠人類減少溫室氣體排放所能立即改善。如何透過社會與經濟發展模式的改變，使人類能夠適應氣候變遷所造成的影響，在極端氣候與暖化效應下持續謀求生存、生活與發展，與減緩同等重要的調適策略，已成當前各國政府為因應氣候變遷效應研議對策的考量重點。對於國小學童而言，學童對於氣候變遷認知與調適能力之認知，亦會反映出學童的想法。本研究以新北市某國小高年級（五、六年級）學童為對象，進行氣候變遷認知與調適能力之問卷調查，抽樣方式採取母體樣本數發送，共計164位學生。透過描述性統計分析，瞭解新北市某國小高年級學童對於氣候變遷認知與調適能力之態度。本研究發現：首先，在「氣候變遷認知能力」的表現方面，整體得分平均數3.98，學童對變遷認知能力之認知程度頗高，具備平均數以上之知識。其次，在「氣候變遷的調適能力」的表現方面，整體得分平均數3.38，顯示學童對於氣候變遷的調適能力具備基本知識，但亦有加強提升新聞資訊對於學童的影響。最後，提出本研究結果與研究建議。

The impact of global climate change and the greenhouse effect is becoming more and more obvious. Extreme weather has already impacted the world and Taiwan. It has also made human society face unprecedented challenges. In the face of these challenges, it is no longer possible for human beings to immediately reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Humans should adapt to the impact of climate change through changes in social and economic development models. Human beings continue to seek survival, life and development under the effects of extreme climate and warming. The same important adaptation strategy as mitigation has become the focus of current governments' considerations for countermeasures in response to the effects of climate change. For elementary school children, their perception of climate change and adaptation will also reflect their thoughts. In this study, we used the survey and analysis of climate change questionnaire among higher grades students in Xinbei City. A total of 164 students were sampled form questionnaire. We wanted to understand the factors that affect the cognition and adaptation capacity of higher grades students. The study found that: In terms of Cognitive Capacity for Climate Change, the overall average score was 3.98. In terms of Climate Change Adaptation, the overall average score was 3.38. Concliusions and suggestions will be addressed in this study.
