UK Primary and Secondary Science Teachers’ Attitudes and Knowledge About Local Biodiversity, 2022-2023

Biodiversity topics feature in UK primary and secondary science and geography curricula, providing a valuable opportunity for increasing children’s ecological literacy. Studies in other countries have shown that teachers have poor species identification skills, but this topic has not been investigated for the UK. 152 geography and science teachers UK primary (5-11 years) and secondary (11-18 years) education completed an online survey from 10/12/22 to 30/8/23.

生物多样性（Biodiversity）主题纳入英国中小学科学与地理课程，为提升学生的生态素养提供了宝贵契机。已有其他国家的研究表明，教师的物种识别能力普遍欠佳，但英国尚未针对该主题开展相关调研。共计152名任职于英国小学（覆盖5至11岁学段）与中学（覆盖11至18岁学段）的地理与科学教师，于2022年12月10日至2023年8月30日期间完成了一项在线问卷调查。
