Resumo

As atitudes ambientais são importantes, uma vez que prevêem o comportamento ambiental e sua promoção pode ajudar a alcançar a sustentabilidade. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar as atitudes ambientais de 196 estudantes matriculados em cursos de graduação: biologia, química, língua portuguesa e pedagogia, de uma universidade brasileira. Os dados foram analisados utilizando análise de variância de três e quatro vias (ANOVA). Encontramos que estudantes de biologia são aqueles que apresentam atitudes mais pró-ambientais, enquanto estudantes de química são aqueles que têm atitudes pró-ambientais mais baixas. O gênero também pode ser um fator que influencia as atitudes, com a diferença entre os alunos do sexo masculino e feminino dependendo do curso. A influência do ano escolar também depende do curso. As disciplinas relacionadas ao meio ambiente no currículo influenciam as atitudes dos alunos. Assim, sugerimos que eles também sejam endereçados a outras áreas de estudo.
