Students‘ Environmental Citizenship in Technological University, November 2020 - January 2021
No full textThe purpose of the study: to evaluate a case of an educational intervention designed to foster environmental citizenship among undergraduate students of a technological university.
Major investigated questions: firstly, the respondents were asked which of the optional KTU alternative study programmes they were studying. A block of questions asked whether they had ever been involved in different environmental organisations, associations or groups outside school or university. They were asked whether they often sort glass, cans, plastics, newspapers or similar items for recycling and whether they often avoid buying certain products for environmental reasons. A block of questions was used to investigate knowledge of environmental problems and solutions and social activities before entering university. It asked about the university modules in which the respondents had studied environmental values, problems/behaviour and citizenship-related topics. In the following blocks of questions, respondents assessed the importance of civic and political participation and their competences in relation to raising environmental issues in the public sphere. They also assessed statements about humanity's relationship with the environment and wanted to know about their intentions to act in the future as students, based on environmental citizenship at university, and in society as citizens in the future, after graduation. A further block of questions assessed respondents' general environmental attitudes. At the end of the questionnaire, respondents were asked whether they had lived in an urban or rural environment when they were children (aged 6-14) and young people (aged 15-18). Accordingly, they were asked how often they had had experiences in nature and how positive they were about these experiences. Finally, they were asked to describe their relationship with nature and to indicate the extent to which the respondents were interested in nature when they were children (6-14 years) and young people (15-18 years).

Next, they were asked to assess the current economic situation in Lithuania and what they think will be the economic situation in Lithuania after 12 months, as well as the respective respondents assessed their current economic situation (their family) and the material situation of the respondents (their family) after 12 months. Respondents were asked which political party or movement they sympathize with and which party, in the opinion of the respondents, would receive the most votes. It was asked what kind of army Lithuania would need and whether respondent participated in the events when Pope John Paul II arrived. The Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey were asked whether education and their income were important for a person's status. It was posed the question on which step the respondents stand on the 9-step stairs. Further, it was asked whether it is necessary to put more money into circulation - litas, because many people complain that there is a lack of money for settlements in circulation. They were asked which would be better: less litas and inexpensive goods or more litas and more expensive goods. It was asked whether there is a need for shops where goods would be sold for currency. Respondents were asked whether we need more litas printed to pay farmers for milk, meat, grain; and whether to use the gold and currency reserves of the Central Bank of Lithuania, which are necessary for the stability of the litas, to pay salaries, pensions, allowances, and scholarships. It was aim to know whether respondents feel that life had improved to some extent. Respondent was asked whether they intend to buy shares in any privatized state-owned bank and want to be rich. The aim was to find out whether the respondents would agree with the statement that any practically thinking and hard-working person can become rich. The Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey had the opportunity to describe our businessman, to answer whether confiscation should be made of the assets ambiguously acquired by some entrepreneurs, and to indicate whether they would advocate for public or private production and trade. Continuing the topic of business, the respondents were asked whether they are engaged in any business and whether they would like their relative to be an entrepreneur. They were asked to indicate, in case they would be unemployed, they would choose to work in the private or public sector, if they were offered several jobs for the same pay. In the survey was also asked what it is expected from entrepreneurs and the government and what would be better - prices would always be the same or depend on the quantity of goods. Finally, the aim was to find out what needs to be done to make people's material situation better. Respondents were further asked why people voted for the LDDP in the elections and whether this political party came to power with positive developments in agricultural reform. The question was asked whether priests should be allowed to participate in politics and whether the respondents (their family) have savings. The approach to extrasensory treatment was further explored. It was asked whether private or public medical institutions have more trust in doctors and whether they have given a bribe. It was also wanted to know what pets the respondents have, where they bought a cat or dog from and what they feed them. In the end, they were asked to answer whether the Lithuanian residents who participated in the survey had watched TV during the last 7 days and what TV channels they had watched.
