Abstract - Social representations of litter produced by the student body of ... Agricultural College
This investigation was motivated by the practice of throwing away litter in the open air, principally by those being educated in the school environment. In this sense, we are researching the .... college student body's (i) conception of litter, (ii) their attitude towards litter and (iii) their commitment as citizens regarding environmental issues arising from the inadequate disposal of litter. In order to better understand student posture towards this litter - individual interaction, we aim to identify any social representations in student littering at 'Colégio Agrícola de ... '. We are also investigating if Environmental Education, taught as a school subject, contributes, or could contribute, to form or modify such representations. The target public was the first and third year students on technical courses in Agriculture and Livestock, also IT, both concomitant with High School. Discourse analysis based on the Moscovici perspective was used to identify social representations of student littering. By means of participant observation and the application of a questionnaire the conception of student littering (i) on entering the first year and (ii) when reaching the third year, were investigated. This analysis aims at identifying any modification, reelaboration, and rereading of the social representation of student littering by those on the above mentioned courses. Our results recognise Environmental Education as an interdisciplinary theme capable of aiding and leading to the construction of a more solidary society, to more personally committed socially responsible citizens concerned about the complexity of the phenomenon of consumption in the contemporary world.
Key words: consumption; Environmental Education; littering; social representation.
