摘要：The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) involves leading academic institutions in 22 countries, including New Zealand, in an annual survey of economic and social policy issues. Part of the questionnaire used in the 1993 environment survey asked respondents their opinion on a series of statements describing basic scientific and environmental facts. From the answers to these questions it was possible to determine respondents' level of knowledge of these facts. This paper examines comparisons of this level of knowledge in six countries - East Germany, West Germany, Great Britain, Norway, New Zealand and the USA. If the evidence of the International Social Survey Programme is any indication, New Zealanders have a level of scientific and environmental knowledge which is at least as good, and often better than, that in other comparable countries. This level of knowledge has relatively little to do with age or sex, but has everything to do with education; people with higher levels of education have a greater understanding of science and environmental issues. This suggests that our schools and universities must be doing something right
