能源知識、公益參與及能源轉型態度：大學課程中的社會學習體驗

Abstract

在實現2050年淨零碳排目標的過程中，綠能是促進臺灣能源轉型的重要戰略產業。然而，許多推動綠能發展的負面新聞，衝擊社會大眾對於臺灣發展綠能的態度，甚至失去信心（負向循環）。相對的，也有許多企業在推廣綠能的過程中，搭配公益服務、回饋社區等活動，獲得社會大眾與社區居民的支持，進而提升社會大眾對於發展綠能的態度（正向循環）。能源知識是影響能源態度的重要因素之一，尤其在大學的能源教育中，通識（博雅）課程不僅能從跨領域的角度學習能源知識，更能引導學生反思推動綠能與人類社會的互動影響。基於以上的背景分析，本計畫的研究問題是：從正向循環的觀點，在通識課程中導入參與公益活動的社會學習體驗單元，對於大學生綠能知識與能源轉型態度間的關係是否有影響？本研究發現在課程中導入公益活動，有助於提升學生的能源知識，促進學生對於能源轉型及公益參與的正面態度。本計畫所屬課程執行公益活動及太陽能發電站考察，不僅提升學生的綠能實務知識，活動發布之新聞更能提升計畫效益及社會影響力。 During the process of realizing Taiwan’s 2050 net-zero carbon emission goal, green energy stands as a pivotal strategic industry driving Taiwan's energy transition. However, numerous negative news stories surrounding the promotion of green energy development have significantly impacted public perception in Taiwan's green energy prospects, potentially resulting in a loss of confidence and creating a detrimental cycle of negativity. In contrast, numerous enterprises, while promoting green energy, have engaged in activities such as charitable initiatives and giving back to the community. This approach has garnered support from both the general public and local communities, thereby fostering a positive cycle that enhances the social attitude toward green energy development. Energy literacy has been identified as a significant determinant in the attitudes toward energy, particularly within tertiary-level energy education. Liberal arts course not only facilitates the acquisition of energy-related knowledge but also guides students in reflecting on the interactive impact between the promotion of green energy and human society. Based on the above background analysis, the research question of this project is: from a positive cycle perspective, does the introduction of social learning experiences involving engagement in philanthropic activities within general education courses influence the relationship between green energy knowledge and the attitude toward energy transition among university students? This study finds that introducing philanthropic events into the course can help improve college students' energy knowledge and promote college students' positive attitude towards energy transition and philanthropic engagement. The courses of this project implement philanthropic events and solar power station inspections, which not only improve college students' practical knowledge of green energy, but also the news released by the events can enhance the benefits and social influence of the project.
