Knowledge about the 'Greenhouse Effect': Have College Students Improved?
Jeffries, Helen; Stanisstreet, Martin; Boyes, Edward
Research in Science and Technological Education, v19 n2 p205-21 Nov 2001
The ideas of Year I undergraduate biology students about the consequences, causes, and cures of the 'greenhouse effect' was determined using a closed-form questionnaire, and results were compared with a parallel study undertaken nearly 10 years ago. Many of the students in the present survey were unaware of the potential effect of global warming on the distribution of crop pests, or that ground level ozone acts as a 'greenhouse gas.' (Author/MM)
