Perceptions and attitudes towards the environment among Social Work students at the University of Alicante, Spain
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Social Work is a discipline committed to the well-being of people and the planet. It is a profession that, over the years, has internalized environmental problems as part of its theoretical and practical dialectic. The global crises have brought about a paradigm shift that influences the approach to current social problems. Universities and social work training promote the incorporation of an environmental, critical, and sustainable approach to social and environmental problems. This empirical study of quantitative design and descriptive and explanatory purpose aims to understand the perceptions and attitudes towards the environment by students of the Degree in Social Work of the University of Alicante (Spain) and their perceptions and attitudes about the relationship between environment and social work. The study was carried out through an ad hoc questionnaire composed of 11 questions and 23 measurement variables. Data was analyzed through SPSS. A total of 102 students aged between 20 and 49 participated. The results show students' recognition of and concern for environmental problems, taking into account personal, cultural, and political factors that influence these perceptions, as well as the associations between their attitudes and perceptions and the perception of their own behavior towards the environment. It concludes with the need to strengthen ecosocial thinking in students of Social Work and incorporate their knowledge into professional practice.
