本研究以問卷調查法對南投縣國中學生之能源知識與態度進行調查,旨在明瞭南投縣國中學生能源知識與能源態度的現況及個人背景變項對能源知識與態度造成的差異,並對國中能源教育提出建議。 為達研究目的,本研究以相關文獻的理論性探討與實證性的研究為基礎,提出研究架構。以自編之「國中學生能源知識與能源態度問卷」針對南投縣分層取樣之810位國中學生進行調查,回收有效問卷為727份,回收率為89.7 %,調查之所得資料利用平均數、標準差、t考驗、單因子變異數分析、及薛費法等統計方法進行分析。 研究結果顯示,南投縣國中學生能源知識程度達中上程度,具有積極正向的能源態度。而能源知識來源多數來自學校上課,且年級愈高愈有較佳的能源知識與能源態度。另外,學生性別對能源知識和能源態度的影響不顯著;學生的家庭社經地位愈高愈有較佳的能源知識與能源態度,而且一般型學校的學生也比偏遠型學校的學生有較佳的能源知識與能源態度。研究也發現不同的能源知識來源會造成能源知識與能源態度上有顯著差異,且南投縣國中學生在能源知識與態度呈現低度正相關,此結果值得推廣國中能源教育者參考。
