About this study

This study includes two intervention groups (Intervention 1: Simulation Group, Intervention 2: Out-of-Class Educational Activities Group). Both groups received joint theoretical training on climate change and sustainability in the same classroom for seven weeks. A follow-up test was administered in the eighth week, and then, according to the random assignment determined at the beginning of the study, Intervention Group 1 (24 students) participated in simulation applications for three weeks, while Intervention Group 2 (24 students) participated in out-of-class educational activities for three weeks. The preparation of SWOT analyses and action plans for both groups will be determined. These courses are expected to be prepared and submitted within three weeks. The training program will be integrated into the 14-week Climate Sustainability and Sustainability curriculum.
