Znanje o kroženju vode, okoljska stališča in vedenje za varčevanje vodnih virov učencev 5. razreda osnovne šole : magistrsko delo

Starkež, Anja (avtor), Torkar, Gregor (mentor)

V današnjem svetu ljudje vode ne dojemamo kot dobrino, ampak kot nekaj samoumevnega, saj jo lahko dobimo skoraj na vsakem koraku. Hitro razvijajoči se svet in z njim rastoča industrija, gospodarstvo, kmetijstvo ter naša osebna ravnanja močno onesnažujejo vir pitne vode, ki je za naše življenje ključnega pomena. Ljudje se ne zavedamo dovolj, kako neracionalno ravnamo z našim virom pitne vode. Ker je zaloga pitne vode omejena, moramo nujno spremeniti naša ravnanja in omogočiti ugoden življenjski prostor za naše zanamce. Z raziskavo smo ugotavljali, kakšni sta stanje in povezanost kakovosti znanja petošolcev o kroženju vode in učinkovitosti vedênj za varčevanje z vodnimi viri, z okoljskimi stališči in vedênjem povezanim z varčevanjem vodnih virov. Z raziskavo smo ugotavljali, kakšno je znanje o kroženju vode in kakšno je znanje o učinkovitosti vedênj za varčevanje z vodnimi viri. Ugotavljali smo tudi povezanost med znanjem o kroženju vode, znanjem o učinkovitosti vedênj, okolijskimi stališči in vedênjem povezanim z varčevanjem vodnih virov. V raziskavi je bilo vključenih 439 učencev 5. razreda iz 8 osnovnih šol v Sloveniji. Podatke smo zbrali s pomočjo pisnega anonimnega vprašalnika in preizkusa znanja, s katerim smo preverili znanje o kroženju vode, okoljska stališča, pogostost vedênja za varčevanje z vodnimi viri in znanje o učinkovitosti vedênja za varčevanje z vodnimi viri. Ugotovili smo, da imajo učenci pomanjkljivo znanje in napačne predstave o kroženju vode. Prav tako kažejo nerazumevanje cikličnosti procesa kroženja vode v naravi. Učenci so pokazali povprečna, a vendar pozitivna stališča do okolja, pri katerih je bila najvišja stopnja strinjanja s trditvami o pravicah narave. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali pozitivno povezavo med znanjem in okoljskimi stališči, in sicer učenci, ki imajo boljše znanje o procesu kroženja vode, imajo tudi pozitivnejša stališča do okolja in obratno. Večina učencev pogosto varčuje z vodnimi viri. Učenci se pogosteje poslužujejo vedênj, ki vključujejo varčevanje vidne vode, manj pogosteje pa vedênj za varčevanje virtualne vode. Učenci, ki imajo več znanja o splošnem varčevanju z vodo in manj znanja o virtualni vodi, se pogosteje poslužujejo vedênj, ki vključujejo vidno vodo, manj pogosteje pa vedênj, ki vključujejo virtualno vodo. Pri raziskovanju vpliva spola smo ugotovili, da so učenci pokazali boljše znanje glede kroženja vode kot učenke. Pri analizi okoljskih stališč ni prišlo do statistično pomembnih razlik med spoloma. Učenke pogosteje izvajajo vedênja povezana z varčevanjem vidne vode kot učenci.

Izvleček

In today's world, people take water for granted, not as a commodity, because it is available at almost every turn. The rapidly developing world and its growing industry, economy, agriculture, and our personal practices are seriously polluting the source of drinking water, which is vital to our lives. People are not sufficiently aware of the irrational way in which we are treating our drinking water resource. As the supply of drinking water is limited, we urgently need to change our practices and provide a favourable habitat for our posterity. The study aimed to determine the status and quality of 5th grade pupils' knowledge about the water cycle and the effectiveness of water saving behaviours, and the relationship between environmental attitudes and water saving behaviours. The study sample included 439 5th grade pupils from 8 primary schools in Slovenia. Data were collected through a written anonymous questionnaire and an exam to assess knowledge about the water cycle, environmental attitudes, frequency of water saving behaviour and knowledge about the effectiveness of water saving behaviour. We found that students had a lack of knowledge and some misconceptions about the water cycle. They also show a lack of understanding of the cyclical process of the water cycle in nature. Pupils showed average but positive attitudes towards the environment, with the highest level of agreement with statements about the rights of nature. The results showed a positive correlation between knowledge and environmental attitudes, i.e. students who have better knowledge about the water cycle also have more positive attitudes towards the environment and vice versa. The majority of pupils frequently perform behaviours to save water resources. Pupils are more likely to perform behaviours that involve saving visible water, and less likely to perform behaviours that involve saving virtual water. Pupils who have more knowledge about general water saving and less knowledge about virtual water are more likely to perform behaviours involving visible water and less likely to perform behaviours involving virtual water. When exploring the impact of gender, we found that male students showed better knowledge of the water cycle than female students. When analysing environmental attitudes, there were no statistically significant gender differences. Female pupils are more likely to perform behaviours related to saving visible water than male pupils.
