| Summary: | Climate Change Literacy is seen as an essential part of the teaching and
learning of Science. Fostering climate change literacy is closely related to content
delivery and the teaching strategy used in Science-based subject, particularly at the
primary school level. This study was conducted with the aim to measure the
effectiveness of Web-based Climate Change Education on improving climate change
literacy among primary school students’ knowledge (greenhouse effect, global
warming, ozone layer depletion and acid rain), values (egocentric, homocentric and
ecocentric), belief (new-ecological paradigm, attribute to responsibility and
awareness of consequences), personal norms, and pro-environmental behaviour to
conserve the climate. This study used a mixed method concurrent embedded research
approach that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative data collection in which
qualitative data was embedded within the quantitative data. Questionnaire survey and
interviews were conducted to measure the changes in the dependent variables. The
Climate Change Literacy Questionnaire was used to measure the effectiveness of
Web-based Climate Change Education on students’ knowledge, values, belief,
personal norms, and pro-environmental behaviour to conserve the climate. |
