Resumo: | Environmental attitudes are important once they predict environmental behavior and its promotion could help to achieve sustainability. We aimed to evaluate the environmental attitudes of 196 students enrolled in undergraduate courses: biology, chemistry, Portuguese language, and pedagogy, from a Brazilian university. Data were analyzed with three- and four-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). We found that biology students are those that present more pro-environmental attitudes while chemistry students are those with lower pro-environmental attitudes. Gender can also be a factor influencing attitudes, with female and male students differently depending on the course. School year influence also depends on the course. The subjects related to the environment in the curriculum influence student’s attitudes. Thus, we suggest that they should be addressed also to other study areas. |

Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar las actitudes ambientales de 196 estudiantes matriculados en cursos de pregrado: biología, química, lengua portuguesa y pedagogía, de una universidad brasileña. Los datos se analizaron con análisis de varianza de tres y cuatro vías (ANOVA). Descubrimos que los estudiantes de biología son aquellos que presentan actitudes más proambientales, mientras que los estudiantes de química son aquellos con actitudes proambientales más bajas. El género también puede ser un factor que influye en las actitudes, con una diferencia entre estudiantes y varones según el curso. La influencia del año escolar también depende del curso. Las materias relacionadas con el medio ambiente en el plan de estudios influyen en las actitudes de los estudiantes. Por lo tanto, sugerimos que también deben dirigirse a otras áreas de estudio.As atitudes ambientais são importantes, uma vez que prevêem o comportamento ambiental e sua promoção pode ajudar a alcançar a sustentabilidade.
