大学一年生の自然科学への興味度と知識度2022年度調査 : 主に10年前との比較

type:text

慶應義塾大学文学部，経済学部，法学部，商学部の1，2年生および理工学部の1年生を対象に，科学用語に関するアンケ―ト調査を実施した。実施期間は2022年5月，回収数は文系学部が238（回収率52.1%），理工学部が249（回収率49.1%）である。科学用語36の知識と興味度のほか，物理ならびに科学へのコンプレックスなどを調査し，主に10年前の調査結果と比較した。科学知識を獲得する媒体は，新聞からインターネットへ大転換した。科学コンプレックスを感じる時期は，10年前とほぼ変化がなかった。文系では数学受験の経・商の学生は物理にコンプレックスが少なく，理工では化学・生命科学系の学門で物理コンプレックスが高かった。文系理工，男女問わず物理コンプレックスを感じない割合が増加した。特に理工女性は1.4倍，文系女性は2.0倍と女性の割合が大きく増加している。RNAや量子計算機の知識度が増加したが，特に量子計算機は興味度も増加した。意外にもほとんどの科学用語で興味度が減少した。 A survey into university students' knowledge levels of science at Keio University was conducted among 1st and 2nd-year students of the Faculties of Letters, Economics, Law, and Commerce (so-called non-scientific faculties), and 1st-year students of the Faculty of Science and Technology. The survey was carried out in May 2022, and the number of responses is 238 (52.1% response rate) for the non-scientific faculties and 249 (49.1% response rate) for the Faculty of Science and Technology. In addition to the knowledge and interest in 36 scientific terminologies, we surveyed inferiority complexes toward physics and science and compared the survey results with those mainly from 10 years ago. The media for acquiring scientific knowledge has changed dramatically from newspapers to the Internet. There was almost no change in the age when students developed inferiority complexes from 10 years ago. In the non-scientific faculties, Economics and Commerce students who took mathematics entrance exams had few complexes in physics, whereas in the Faculty of Science and Technology, those majoring in Chemistry and Life Sciences had high complexes in physics. There was an increase in the percentage of students who do not have complexes in physics regardless of whether they are men or women. In particular, the proportion of women who do not have complexes in physics has increased significantly, with 1.4 times more in the Faculty of Science and Technology, and 2.0 times more in the non-scientific faculties. Knowledge of RNA and the quantum computer has increased, as well as the interest in the latter. Surprisingly, interest decreased in most of the scientific terminologies.
