Educators can enhance student engagement in climate change topics by transforming lessons into games, making the complex science more accessible and enjoyable for learners.
In a study involving 248 high school students, those who participated in a number estimation game exhibited a better understanding of climate change and a greater interest in scientific inquiry than those who read conventional texts.
The number estimation game not only improved students' grasp of climate change facts but also increased their enthusiasm for science, reduced feelings of hopelessness, and fostered a desire to engage in related actions.
After engaging with the game, students recognized the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change more clearly, indicating that interactive learning methods could be crucial for effectively teaching this important subject.
