Introduction
In order to practice our survey skills, we created a questionnaire consisting of 10 Questions relevant to our field of inquiry Green Conception vs. Action. We printed this questionnaire 50 times and handed them to students of Berlin International School ranging from Grade 9 to IB1. Our aim was to find out the relation between a green conception and a green action meaning: When you think your lifestyle is green, do your actions support this? We placed the question “Do you consider your lifestyle as green?“ (conception) followed by multiple action questions so the students asked would answer the first question as they would spontaneously, realizing their actions may be contrary to this answer later. We predicted that the number of students considering their lifestyle as green, would be higher compared to the number of students actually living green.
A pie chart showing the male/female gender distribution in our survey
Male 40 % Female 60 %
From 50 students asked, 20 were male and 30 were female. In terms of gender equality we would consider this a relatively even number with a slightly larger female contribution.
