원자력 관련 교육이 태도변화에 미치는 효과성에 대한 실증분석: 사전-사후 통제집단 비교실험법의 적용

The purpose of this study is to experimentally analyze the effects of nuclear safety education on learners' cognitive, affective, and receptivity. To this end, a pre-post control group comparative experimental design was applied to evaluate the effectiveness of nuclear safety education for university students. Whether attitudes can be changed through policy efforts is an issue that should be considered in policy design. The results showed that, first, in the cognitive dimension, both objective and subjective knowledge of the experimental group increased significantly after the education, while the control group did not show any significant change. Second, in the affective dimension, the experimental group's belief in rumors decreased significantly after the training, while no change was observed in the control group. Third, at the behavioral level, both the experimental and control groups showed no significant difference in their acceptance of nuclear power plants before and after the training. These results suggest that nuclear education has a significant effect at the cognitive level, and that misinformation can be corrected, but other strategies need to be developed to change attitudes.
