| Summary: | <p>This study aims to design, develop, and evaluate a model on energy efficiency</p><p>education for Information Technology (IT) undergraduates. This research utilized a</p><p>Model Research (MR) method, which is a sub-category of the Design and Development</p><p>Research (DDR) method. The use of this method helped the researcher to focus on the</p><p>design and development of the proposed model and the conditions which facilitate its</p><p>use. The STAUNCHCriteria instrument was used to quantitatively assess the</p><p>contribution of IT curriculum to the Sustainable Development (SD) integration. The</p><p>findings showed that there was a lack of SD visibility aspect in the learning modules of</p><p>the IT course of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). Furthermore, the findings</p><p>showed that the five components of the design of the concept of SD, namely</p><p>stakeholders, tool, integration approach, pedagogy, and organizational change, were</p><p>important principles of energy efficiency education. Finally, the findings showed that</p><p>the respondents acknowledged that there was a need for Education for Sustainable</p><p>Development (ESD) and energy efficiency (EE) education in the current IT curriculum.</p><p>In conclusion, the findings suggest that EE education should be included in the current</p><p>IT curriculum to help IT undergraduates learn the aspects of ESD and SD. Given that</p><p>the proposed model was examined formatively, more studies are therefore entailed to</p><p>evaluate such a model in a summative manner.</p> |
