Abstract The study examined high school students’ perspectives on climate change before and after participation in an informal science education program. During the program, students made a short, place-based film about climate change impacts in their communities. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of student data revealed key themes that illustrate how students characterized climate change before and after developing their films. Following the program, students described climate change as locally-relevant, alarming, and a concern that held increased personal importance to them. They also reported greater confidence in their understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change and indicated a stronger sense of both collective and personal responsibility to take action to address climate change challenges in their communities. The study adds to the existing body of literature that describes how making personally meaningful connections with climate change can inspire a sense of responsibility and agency among students.

学生通过地方电影制作对气候变化的看法

摘要 该研究调查了高中生在参加非正式科学教育计划之前和之后对气候变化的看法。在该计划期间，学生们制作了一部关于气候变化对他们社区的影响的短片。对学生数据的定性和定量分析揭示了关键主题，这些主题说明了学生在开发电影之前和之后如何描述气候变化。课程结束后，学生们将气候变化描述为与当地相关、令人担忧，并且对他们个人而言越来越重要。他们还报告说，他们对气候变化的原因和后果的理解更有信心，并表现出更强烈的集体和个人责任感，以采取行动应对社区中的气候变化挑战。
