Data was gathered a sample of 646 seventh-grade students. The indicate that students identify change as consequence modern life. They consider the issue personally important but they also state there is nothing can do about issue. Since their primary sources information media education, should be addressed in...

Public awareness of the negative effects climate change is vital since it leads to collective action for prevention and adaptation.

The present study reported adaptation process questionnaire into Turkish, tested conceptual model willingness act pro-climate friendly behavior Turkish context. For these purposes, was administered 603 pre-service teachers. also provided an insight through analysis teachers' ideas...

Abstract The main goals of integrating engineering into K-12 science classrooms are engaging students in the design process and preparing them to think like real engineers. Since engineers often work with interdisciplinary problems, they need draw upon skills, knowledge, ideas from multiple disciplines. Unfortunately, as teachers implement activities their students, is reduced tinkering without any explicit connection mathematics content. In order promote meaningful learning, play a critical...

The concept of environmental literacy was first defined by Roth in an article for Massachusetts Audebon (1968).He replying "to the then frequent media references to illiterates who were responsible polluting

Engineering has been considered as a useful context for successful implementation of STEM education. However, teachers have limited opportunities to develop sound understanding about engineers and engineering, which is necessary developing students’ engineering practices design skills. In this case study, the main purpose was examine 18 preservice science teachers’ initial final views in an undergraduate engineering-focused course. Before after eight-week including three activities, data...

ABSTRACTBackground and Purpose As a response to the need for effective engineering integration in K-12 science classrooms, teachers should be supported with rich professional development (PD) diverse components (e.g. curriculum material support). Grounded framework quality education, this study explores how elementary integrated into lessons after participating PD nature of additional support (CMS).Design/Method In single-case multiple embedded units analysis, three teachers’ 79 classroom...

Informal science learning is valuable in the development of students’ cognitive and affective skills which also influences an interest science. Successful utilisation informal settings into teaching requires highly qualified teachers. This study explored how engagement a semester-long course influenced preservice teachers’ (PSTs) views professional on use natural history museums education. In this study, researchers collaborated with museum to design 14-week-long undergraduate course....
