A comprehensive analysis of the literature on climate change education methods

Abstract

An opportunity to do a systematic evaluation to determine what research may offer to our thoughts about successful climate change education has arisen due to the increased interest in climate change education and the rising realization of the obstacles inherent in tackling this problem. A total of 959 distinct citation entries pertaining to climate change education were located in the academic database EBSCOhost. The evaluation of climate change education programs was the primary emphasis of 49 of these sources. By analyzing these sources, we were able to learn more about the intervention's goals, evaluation procedures, and potential outcomes. Two commonalities were found in environmental education programs:(1) an emphasis on knowledge that is personally relevant and meaningful and(2) the use of active and engaging teaching techniques. Additionally, four topics related to climate change were identified: (1) participating in group discussions, (2) communicating with experts in the field, (3) clearing up misunderstandings, and (4) carrying out initiatives at the school or community level. Climate change and other contentious issues are addressed with suggestions.
