Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this paper is to describe the results of a study on social representations of climate change in a sample of 105 students from the National Pedagogical University (Mexico). Work was carried out using associative cards, with free association of words from a stimulus word, a questionnaire with open-ended and closed-ended questions, and qualitative interviews that drew on climate change-related images shown to subjects. The results show that university students hold social representations of climate change that include content that is hegemonic (mainly relating to the effects of climate change and ways to address it in education), emancipated (integrating issues relating to causes), and polemical (they feature emotional aspects associated with the phenomenon).
