- Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge levels and perceptions of Sivas Cumhuriyet University students regarding global warming and climate change. In the study, data were collected from 382 students. The data were analyzed with SPSS program by using frequency, percentage, averages, independent sample t test and ANOVA tests. The general level of knowledge of the students about climate change is "medium", however, it has been determined that the level of knowledge about "struggle" related to climate change is "lower". In the research findings, students defined climate change as "disruption of natural balance". It has been determined that the sources of information about students' global warming and climate changes are mostly internet, scientific studies and TV-radio. Students' views on the causes of climate changes were determined as "air pollution, deforestation and puncture of the ozone layer", respectively. In the research findings, it was also determined that there were significant differences between monthly income, science field, father's profession, where the family lives, taking lessons about climate conditions and students' views on climate change. According to the fields of science, it is determined that students studying in the social sciences have a lower level of knowledge about the effects of climate change and ways of struggle. As a result, it may be suggested to provide effective trainings and awareness raising in order to increase the knowledge levels of students on climate change, and especially on "struggle" related to climate change.
