Abstract

An investigation was conducted with high school students from the city of Ushuaia, in orderto investigate the conceptions they have about environmental problems and their causes. We useddifferent methods to collect the data with which we were able to make a diagnosis on what ideasstudents are having. In order to do so, instruments such as individual surveys and group interviewswere used. During the interviews, we tried to understand how students relate to these issues, whetherthey seek ways to remedy them or to minimize their impacts, whether such issues affect theirdaily lives, or whether they go unnoticed. The results show that significant environmental issues foryouth are those related to their most immediate context, as well as the causes that they attributeto such problems.
