环境问题，特别是全球范围内的环境问题，特别是大气污染引起的温室效应加剧导致的全球变暖加剧，正变得越来越重要。因此，关于这些问题的教育正变得越来越重要。虽然教育战略和资源的设计最好是基于对儿童先入为主的概念的理解，但对儿童在这方面的想法知之甚少。我们对11至16岁的中学生对全球变暖的原因、后果和可能的治疗方法的看法进行了问卷和访谈研究。研究结果表明，一些在科学上更容易被接受的观点，比如“温室效应”的增加将导致天气模式的变化，已经在年龄较小的学生中出现。科学界普遍持有的其他想法，需要时间才能在中学阶段形成；对机械原理的欣赏……
Abstract Environmental problems, especially those of world‐wide dimension such as the increase in global warming by an exacerbation of the ‘greenhouse effect’ caused by atmospheric pollution, are becoming increasingly significant. Education about such issues is therefore becoming increasingly important. Although educational strategies and resources are best designed based on an appreciation of children's preconceptions, little is known about children's ideas in this area. We have undertaken a questionnaire and interview study of the ideas of secondary school children aged 11 to 16 about the causes, consequences and possible cures of global warming. The results show that some scientifically more acceptable ideas, such as the notion that an increase in the ‘greenhouse effect’ will cause changes in weather patterns, are already present in younger pupils. Other ideas, generally held by the science community, take time to become established over the period of secondary schooling; an appreciation of the mechani...
