“…In the meantime, Chen et al () asserted that the 5E inquiry learning model can stimulate learners to actively utilize acquired knowledge or skills to a real‐world scenario; Karpudewan et al . () illustrated that an active inquiry approach can improve students’ abilities to develop new knowledge. Thus, it is reasonable to infer that a well‐designed game promotes the influence of IBL on students’ active learning.…”

In this paper, an inquiry-based ubiquitous gaming approach was proposed. The objective of the study was to enhance students' performances in in-field learning activities. To show the advantages of the approach, an experiment was carried out to assess the effects of it on students' learning achievement, motivation, critical thinking, and problem solving. Furthermore, the students' behavioral patterns were investigated via content and sequential analysis methods. The experimental outcomes show that the approach promoted students' performances of learning achievement and intrinsic motivation; moreover, the students' perceptions of their problem solving and critical thinking were significantly promoted as well. The learning behavior analysis further show that the designated approach stimulated the participants to actively engage in field observation, comparison, and data searching in the context ware in-field learning activity.

“…The gaming activities are designed based on the 5E inquiry learning model. This learning model has been used in several previous studies to boost the process of conceptual change and to promote the learning effects (Chen, Wong, & Wang, ; Dorji et al , ; Karpudewan, Roth, & Abdullah, ).…”

“…Together, these factors are often summarized by using the term climate change awareness (e.g., Lee, Markowitz, Howe, Ko, & Leiserowitz, 2015;The UNESCO Climate Change Initiative, 2010). In this regard, however, the term awareness is used in very inconsistent ways, with various classifications and connotations (Karpudewan, Roth, & Abdullah, 2014;Lee et al, 2015;Metag, Füchslin, & Schafer, 2015). In this study a broad understanding of climate change awareness is used, comprising cognitive, affective, and conative aspects.…”

Under the premise that the young generation of teenagers cannot be considered to be uniform, this study identified groups of teenagers based on their level of climate change awareness. Questionnaires answered by 760 teenagers (13-16 years old) from Germany and Austria were analyzed using a hierarchical cluster analysis. The teenagers were assigned to four groups that differed as to their cognitive, affective and conative aspects of climate change awareness. Based on the empirical results, the authors argue that there are different subgroups of young people in terms of climate change awareness, which climate change education should take into consideration.

“…Despite these initiatives, studies indicated that Malaysian students generally possessed minimal levels of energy literacy (Lay et al 2012(Lay et al , 2013. This probably happens due to the teacher-centered techniques that dominate the education system in the country which is heavily examination oriented (Karpudewan et al 2015a, b). Project-based energy learning as suggested in this study would be an alternative approach to be adopted by teachers as it does not require altering the curriculum; instead, the existing lessons on energy could be presented using the project-based approach.…”

Globalization, rapid industrial development, and tremendous population growth have significantly increased the demand for energy. Sustaining the energy supply requires that society be energy literate. Existing studies on secondary school students' energy literacy suggest that effective teaching approaches can enhance energy literacy. This quasi-experimental study was designed to test the null hypotheses that project-based energy learning does not enhance knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and beliefs related to energy. For this purpose, two classes from a school were assigned to experimental and control groups. Following the intervention, an ANCOVA analysis with the pretest results as the covariate showed statistically significant differences in the four aspects that were researched. Additionally, interviews with randomly selected students from the experimental and control groups further support the findings. Implications of the findings are discussed.
