Abstract
Diversos organismos de las Naciones Unidas señalan que la educación es un pilar esencial de las sociedades para afrontar el reto climático. Entre sus funciones destaca la de promover una representación del problema que facilite la adopción y aceptación de medidas de adaptación y mitigación. En este sentido, se pretende comprender cómo se representa el cambio climático por parte del alumnado de educación secundaria de Portugal (N = 141) y las posibles influencias de la educación en la construcción de su representación mediante la técnica de la libre asociación. Los resultados reflejan que el fenómeno es aprehendido como un problema ambiental y global, asociado a fenómenos meteorológicos y que identifica riesgos y amenazas principalmente sobre la biosfera. El itinerario académico parece influir en algunos aspectos de la representación y se detectan consideraciones sociales, culturales y políticas.
Various United Nations agencies emphasize the crucial role of education in addressing the climate challenge, as it plays a key function in promoting a nuanced understanding of the issue, facilitating the adoption of adaptation and mitigation measures. This study focuses on unraveling how secondary education students in Portugal (N = 141) conceptualize climate change and it examines the potential impact of education on shaping their perceptions, utilizing the free association technique. The findings reveal that students perceive climate change as a global environmental concern, closely tied to meteorological phenomena, with identified risks and threats predominantly affecting the biosphere. The students’ academic background appears to influence specific aspects of their representation, and the analysis identifies social, cultural, and political factors at play that shape their perspectives.
