Description

Two kinds of programs were prepared to teach undergraduate students about the relationship between the global environment, society and environmental conservation. One was an interdisciplinary program explaining the environment from the viewpoint of natural and social sciences. The other was related only to natural sciences. Results from a questionnaire given to the students after the lectures indicated that the former is more effective than the latter in providing students with an understanding of the relationship between the global environment and society. Furthermore, more students in the interdisciplinary program answered that they would place environmental conservation above personal convenience.
