Public Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Toward Educational Renewable Energy Sources in Arab Society in Israel
This research delves into how educational renewable energy (RE) is perceived within Arab society. The research group consists of parents of middle school students who studied renewable energy in the Israeli science teaching curriculum. It posits three hypotheses, two of which were upheld, and one was refuted. The study highlights low-to-moderate levels in the general public’s knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward educational RE. Understanding these levels necessitates grasping the social and environmental influences at play. Variances in education priorities and resource accessibility most likely contribute to the observed differences. Although attitudes tend to align with societal values, behaviors exhibit a nuanced interplay of factors. Notably, familiarity with RE and a positive attitude correlate with sustainable behaviors, emphasizing the role of education and awareness. Surprisingly, demographic factors did not significantly affect these relationships, suggesting a shared environmental consciousness. The findings recommend using targeted interventions to enhance knowledge and foster positive attitudes toward RE in Arab society, ultimately promoting sustainable behaviors.
期刊介绍:
Science Education publishes original articles on the latest issues and trends occurring internationally in science curriculum, instruction, learning, policy and preparation of science teachers with the aim to advance our knowledge of science education theory and practice. In addition to original articles, the journal features the following special sections: -Learning : consisting of theoretical and empirical research studies on learning of science. We invite manuscripts that investigate learning and its change and growth from various lenses, including psychological, social, cognitive, sociohistorical, and affective. Studies examining the relationship of learning to teaching, the science knowledge and practices, the learners themselves, and the contexts (social, political, physical, ideological, institutional, epistemological, and cultural) are similarly welcome. -Issues and Trends : consisting primarily of analytical, interpretive, or persuasive essays on current educational, social, or philosophical issues and trends relevant to the teaching of science. This special section particularly seeks to promote informed dialogues about current issues in science education, and carefully reasoned papers representing disparate viewpoints are welcomed. Manuscripts submitted for this section may be in the form of a position paper, a polemical piece, or a creative commentary. -Science Learning in Everyday Life : consisting of analytical, interpretative, or philosophical papers regarding learning science outside of the formal classroom. Papers should investigate experiences in settings such as community, home, the Internet, after school settings, museums, and other opportunities that develop science interest, knowledge or practices across the life span. Attention to issues and factors relating to equity in science learning are especially encouraged.. -Science Teacher Education [...]
