我國大學生對生質燃料的知識與態度

基於國內對於綠能產業科技人才培育之重視，以及發展生質能源衍生的議題，本研究欲以我國大學生作為研究對象，透過結構式問卷的調查，以瞭解大學生對生質燃料的認知及態度的表現。本研究採量化研究之方式進行，以自編問卷為研究工具。調查對象為我國北、中、南、東四個地區的大學生，共發出1,350份問卷，回收有效問卷數為1,314份，有主主回收率為97.3%。結果顯示大學生對生質燃料之認知表現不住，但對生質燃料發展之態度為趨於積極認同。不同性別、學校類型、年級、科系及參與過相關活動之學生，其在生質燃料知識及態度皆有顯著差異。生質燃料認知與生質燃料態度兩項測量結果相關性很低，顯示大學生對生質燃料的認同皮並非依據其知識來作判斷。針對研究發現與結論，分別對大學課程及能源、教育的推動提出建議。

This quantitative study not only investigates college students' knowledge of and attitude towards biofuels, but also explores the correlation among the dimensions of knowledge and attitude. A ”biofuels questionnaire” was designed and employed as the research tool in this study, The participants included college students of northern, central, southern, and eastern areas in Taiwan. A total of 1350 questionnaires were released and 1314 valid responses were gathered with response rate of 97.3%. Results indicated that the college students in this study showed a fair level of knowledge about biofuels, and their attitude was generally positive toward the development of biofuels. There were significant differences in the demographic variables, such gender, school type, grade level, major, and attendance in relevant course activities, on the college students' biofuels knowledge and attitudes. Correlation between knowledge and attitudes regarding biofuel issue was insignificant on general, college students' attitudes towards biofuels were independent on their knowledge. Based on the conclusions of this investigation, researchers propose suggestions for college courses and promotion of energy education.
