SCIENCE
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ATTITUDE AND AWARENESS ON CLIMATE CHANGE
ABSTRACT
This
research tends to examine Science Teachers and Students’ Attitude and Awareness
on Climate Change with reference to three private and three public secondary
schools in Ojo-Amuwo Lagos State.
The research
adopted survey design technique and primary source was use in gathering data
with the use of a well-structured questionnaire.
A sample of
Three Hundred students were selected by the use of stratified sampling
technique.
Five
hypotheses were formulated and tested for the purpose of drawing a conclusion
in this research. The data garnered were presented on table and the hypotheses
were analysed with the use of ANOVA.
The result
of the analysese resulted into concluding that there is a significant difference
among best subject and students also there is a significant difference among
the subject base and students attitude to the concept, causes, consequences and
control of climate change.
Recommendations
were proffered to the schools of study and other schools as a whole.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Climate
change is one of the most undesirable changes that is really causing much
havoc and concern to the entire
inhabitations of the globe. It is a thing of an issue that requires total and
undisturbed attention of every individual living.
Climate change
as noted has become a frequently discussed issue over the past years. This issue is really or simply at increase on
the earth surface temperature, which is mainly caused by human activity with question, the technical term is
Anthropogenic.
There are many
factors which could be attributed to as the main cause of this change. It could
be forces caused by internal and external
forces like the Earth’s Orbit, solar radiation and green house gas
concentration.
In addition,
the ice age is another example of climate change which recently is the focus of
some.
It is quite
a pity that the earth in which we live today, that has housed accommodated
millions of species, for thousands of years is in grave danger due to climate
change.
Many have
even come to believe that human activities are a major cause of climate change which may be a
catastrophic consequences for the climate and the environment. For example
large-scale melting of land based ice as said and the expansion of the oceans
as water, warms could cause the sea level to rise drastically. Low lying
islands such as Tuvalu in Australia could disappear also a large part of low
lying islands in Netherlands and Florida could also disappear. Moreover
millions of people could be displaced from such places as Shanghai and Calcutta
as well as part of Beng Ladesh.
For some,
the physical processes that underlie global climate systems are complex and not
folly understood. In addition, interest groups tend to put their own spin on
the scientific data such as that used to
show why temperature are rising.
According to
a recent report of the UN sponsored intergovernmental parcel on climate change
(IPCC) climate change, is “unequivocal” or a fact and very likely” mankind is
largely to be blame. Some who differ with this conclusion epically in
regard. To the human factor concede
that cities may be hearting up because they are
growing in size. Moreover concrete and Steel readily absorb the sun’s
heat and tend to cool down slowly at
night. But urban reading, Skeptics say, do not reflect the trend in rural areas
and can distort global statistics.
Modern
scientist and geologist also in recent times have conducted researches and
concluded that by the 21st century, the earth will be 4oC warmer, due to the
effects of excess green house gas.
In the world
today, it is estimated that Australia has about the world’s largest emission of
green house gases followed closely by the United State of America yet with all
these effects, we are yet to know the actual meaning effects of these to the
climate or globe.
Having
elaborated early, the major factors which could be napped down as the backbone
of climate change are by product of greenhouse effects, the combustion of fossil. Fuels has also brought about an
ever increasing rise in the carbodioxide (Co2) concentration in the atmosphere,
the Ozone layer depiction and effects of some gases such as methane (Ch4)
sulphur compounds (So3 and So2) Nitrogen Oxides and Oxidant (O3) mentioned
early.
1.2 PURPOSE OF STUDY
It is
observed that there is high increase in thus issue of climate change but many
are uncertain of both the causes and the consequences. Human activities may be
a factor, they say but not necessarily the primary one, I think there is a
disagreement on that.
But, it is
noted that the two main agents in which
information and knowledge can be disseminated to the society are the teacher
and the students particular the science teachers and science students. This
study is geared toward finding out how much awareness have the science teachers
and students to climate.
It is also
to investigate or find out their attitude to climate change since knowledge is
power for the fact that they are the one to inform the society the rate of
damage cause by climate change.
This study
also looks on how equip the science teachers and science students with the
bases and steps to take on enlightening others on climate change since their
serve as a bridge between scientific events and the society.
1.3
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Climate
change has gone beyond the level of saying that things will come back to normal
as it can be said in this present economic crisis. For the fact that science
teachers and students have different
ideas and concept about climate change of which we cannot ascertain both in
primary secondary and tertiary institution.
Consequently
the researcher of this project work intend to investigate the level of
awareness and attitude of science teachers and students to climate change
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In order to
arrive at a reasonable conclusion about the science teachers and students
awareness and attitude to climate change. Some of the questions raised are:
What are the
major causes of climate change?
Are the
science teachers and students aware of them?.
What is
their attitude to climate change?.
Are there
possible solution to this climate change?
Is there any
significant effect on the thousands of species on the globe?
Is there any
significant effect on the teaching and learning process in the school?.
1.5 STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
There is a
significant difference among best subject and students
There is a
significant difference among the subject base and students attitude to the
concept, causes, consequences and control of climate change.
That there
is a significant difference among the students’ awareness of global warming.
There is a
significant difference among the students’ awareness of ozone layer.
That there
is a significant difference among the students’ awareness of climate
change.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of
this research work is the Nigeria Navy
Secondary School Ojo and Sandwich Science students of Lagos State University,
Ojo.
This
research work will cover the causes of climate change and its effects.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE RESEARCH
Putting into
consideration the nature of the administrative set up in the school, the
researcher may not be able to lay hold of the necessary information required.
Therefore the work will be based on the information made available. Moreso, at
the period of the research, most of the science teachers and may not be
acquerted with the latest information on
climate change. This is that the researcher ahs to go extra mile in consulting
different relevant materials to the study.
Also most of
the Sandwich science students’ of Lagos State University will not be readily
available for response to the study.
Another
thing is that time factor and transportation may create a problem to the researcher which means that the researcher
will not be able to get many of the science teachers and students to either
interview, fill questionnaires or give other relevant information.
Despite, all
the limitation, the researcher will do everything possible to make sure that
incomplete /false information is not given about the study.
