Abstract

The aim of this paper was to analyse the differences in relation to ecological concern and environmental concern among a group of high school students who spent several days at a farm school doing work specific to the rural environment and another group who spent the same time in another rural environment practicing adventure sports activities. The sample included 102 students of 4th year of secondary school in Spain, aged between 15 and 16 years [mean (M) = 15.34, standard deviation (SD) = .70], of which 50 were boys and 52 were girls. A questionnaire composed of the Ecological Concern Scale and the Environmental Concern Scale was utilised. Two pre-test and a post-test with ANOVA comparisons between the control and experimental groups were performed. The results show an improvement in both scales for both groups, and the improvement was higher for the group of the farm school. The data are finally discussed
El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar las diferencias en relación a la preocupación ecológica y preocupación ambiental entre un grupo de alumnado de secundaria que permaneció varios días en una granjaescuela realizando trabajos propios del entorno rural y otro grupo que permaneció el mismo tiempo en otro entorno rural practicando actividades deportivas de aventura. La muestra fue de 102 alumnos de 4º curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria de España, con edades comprendidas entre 15 y 16 años [media (M) =15.34; desviación típica (DT) = .70], siendo 50 chicos y 52 chicas. Se utilizó un cuestionario compuesto por la Escala de Preocupación Ecológica y la Escala de Preocu- pación Ambiental, realizándose dos pretest y un postest con comparaciones con Anova entre grupo control y experimental. Los resultados demuestran una mejoría en ambas escalas para ambos grupos, siendo mayor para el grupo de la granja-escuela. Los datos finalmente son discutidos
