Adults and children are frequently confronted with statements about the

alarming rate of loss of tropical rainforests. For example， one graphic illustration

to which children might readily relate is the estimate that rainforests are being

destroyed at a rate equivalent to one thousand football fields every forty

minutes-about the duration of a normal classroom period. In the face of the

frequent and often vivid media coverage， it is likely that children will have

formed ideas about rainforests-what and where they are， why they are

important， what endangers them-independent of any formal tuition. It is also

possible that some of these ideas will be mistaken .

固本文主题或问题就是儿童关于热带雨林看法的对错

Many studies have shown that children harbour misconceptions about

'pure'， curriculum science. These misconceptions do not remain isolated but bee

incorporated into a multifaceted， but organized， conceptual framework，

making it and the ponent ideas， some of which are erroneous， more robust

but also aessible to modification. These ideas may be developed by children

absorbing ideas through the popular media. Sometimes this information may be

erroneous. It seems schools may not be providing an opportunity for children to

re-express their ideas and so have them tested and refined by teachers and their

peers.

Despite the extensive coverage in the popular media of the destruction of

rainforests， little formal information is available about children's ideas in this

area. The aim of the present study is to start to provide such information， to

help teachers design their educational strategies to build upon correct ideas and

to displace misconceptions and to plan programmes in environmental studies in

their schools.

第二段 Literature Review 。第一句话就是观点句，说明以前的研究说明儿童对于热

带雨林的知识是错误的

第三段调查研究开始(做问卷调查)。调查过程(五个问题)

The study surveys children's scientific knowledge and attitudes to rainforests.

Secondary school children were asked to plete a questionnaire containing five

open-form questions. The most frequent responses to the first question were

descriptions which are self-evident from the term 'rainforest'. Some children

described them as damp， wet or hot. The second question concerned the

geographical location of rainforests. The monest responses were continent or

countries： Africa (given by 43% of children)， South America(30%)， Brazil(25%).

Some children also gave more general locations， such as being near the Equator.

Responses to question three concerned the importance of rainforests. The

dominant idea， raised by 64% of the pupils ，was that rainforests provide

animals with habitats. Fewer students responded that rainforests provide plant

habitats， and even fewer mentioned the indigenous populations of rainforests.

More girls (70%) and boys (60%) raised the idea of rainforest as animal habitats.

Similarly， but at a lower level， more girls (13%) than boys (5%) said that

rainforests provided human habitats. These observations are generally consistent

with our previous studies of pupils' views about the use and conservation of

rainforests， in which girls were shown to be more sympathetic to animals and

expressed views which seem to place an intrinsic value on non-human animal life.

The fourth question concerned the causes of the destruction of rainforests.

Perhaps encouragingly， more than half of the pupils(59%) identified that it is

human activities which are destroying rainforests， some personalizing the

responsibility by the use of terms such as 'we are'. About 18% of the pupils

referred specifically to logging activity.

One misconception， expressed by some 10% of the pupils， was that acid

rain is responsible for rainforest destruction； a similar proportion said that

pollution is destroying rainforests. Here， children are confusing rainforest

destruction with damage to the forests of Western Europe by these factors. While

two fifths of the students provided the information that the rainforests provide

oxygen， in some cases this response also embraced the misconception that

rainforest destruction would reduce atmospheric oxygen， making the

atmosphere inpatible with human life on Earth.

In answer to the final question about the importance of rainforest

conservation， the majority of children simply said that we need rainforests to

survive. Only a few of the pupils (6%) mentioned that rainforest destruction may

contribute to global warming. This is surprising considering the high level of

media coverage on this issue. Some children expressed the idea that the

conservation of rainforests is not important.

找到这些并列的问题就可以了

The results of this study suggest that certain ideas predominate in the

thinking of children about rainforests. Pupils' responses indicate some

misconception in basic scientific knowledge of rainforests' ecosystems such as

their ideas about rainforests as habitats for animals， plants and humans and the

relationship between climatic change and destruction of rainforests.

Pupils did not volunteer ideas that suggestedthat they appreciated the

plexity of causes of rainforest destruction. In other words， they gave no

indication of an appreciation of either the range of ways in which rainforests are

important or the plex social， economic and political factors which drive the

activities which are destroying the rainforests. One encouragement is that the

results of similar studies about other environmental issues suggest that older

children seem to acquire the ability to appreciate value and evaluate conflicting

views. Environmental education offers an arena in which these skills can be

developed， which is essential for these children as future decision-makers.
