“…The analysis results validated that consumers' WTA solar PV the is significantly influenced by their beliefs about its benefits. The findings of [66] also demonstrated that buyers' buying decisions were established on a solid faith in the advantages of the specific thing they needed to buy. Likewise, another recent study in Zambia factors influencing households' intention to adopt solar energy solutions revealed that due to its numerous advantages and the region's vast solar energy generation potential, solar energy solutions have become an attractive alternative to grid-based electricity, and many households are influencing their adoption [123].…”

“…The study found that farmers' assumptions about perceived benefits had a major impact on their adoption in India [65]. People distinguished between traditional and renewable energy sources, making purchasing decisions based on their socio-economic status [66]. As a result, initiatives are required to increase residents' understanding of the advantages of solar power use, such as improved air quality and lower carbon emissions, as well as to educate them about the negative consequences of dependence on energy that is based on fossil fuel [67].…”

Do Perceived Risk, Perception of Self-Efficacy, and Openness to Technology Matter for Solar PV Adoption? An Application of the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior

Solar PV (photovoltaic) technology has gained considerable attention worldwide, as it can help reduce the adverse effects of CO2 emissions. Though the government of Pakistan is adopting solar PV technology due to its environmental friendliness nature, studies focusing on consumer’s acceptance of solar PV are limited in the country. This research aims to close this knowledge gap by looking into the various considerations that may influence consumers’ willingness to adopt (WTA) solar PV for household purposes. The study further contributes by expanding the conceptual framework of the theory of planned behavior by including three novel factors (perceived risk, perception of self-efficacy, and openness to technology). The analysis is based on questionnaire data collected from 683 households in Pakistan’s provincial capitals, including Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Gilgit, and Karachi. The proposed hypotheses are investigated using the state-of-the-art structural equation modeling approach. The empirical results reveal that social norms, perception of self-efficacy, and belief about solar PV benefits positively influence consumers’ WTA solar PV. On the contrary, the perceived risk and solar PV cost have negative effects. Notably, the openness to technology has an insignificant effect. This study can help government officials and policymakers explore cost-effective, risk-free technologies to lessen the environmental burden and make the country more sustainable. Based on research results, study limitations, as well as prospective research directions, are also addressed.

“…Especially, the urgency to transform the traditional education system is manifested. Teachers have the responsibility of designing experiences in which the student builds learning, and for this, it must be considered that individuals think and act differently-that is, they present specific strategies to give meaning to information and to be able to manage to learn [27,36]. In this sense, modern education needs new contemporary teaching and learning practices, which use inclusive learning programmes [37].…”

The purpose of this study is to identify teaching styles (TS) and learning styles (LS) in teachers and students in public schools with a focus on renewable energies, with the aim of designing and applying curricular strategies based on active learning in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the same way, it seeks to determine the differences related between TS and LS. The research was developed with a quantitative methodology and a correlational descriptive approach. In addition, a non-experimental, cross-sectional design was used and an intentional non-probabilistic sampling of 125 students and 20 professors from the Maria Inmaculada School of the municipality of Puerto Carreño, Colombia. The results indicate that there is no significant difference between TS and LS. However, it was identified that students prefer a reflective teaching methodology (M = 15.5, SD = 0.75) followed by the active style (M = 14.2, SD = 1.10) and, to a lesser extent, the pragmatic style (M = 11.4, SD = 1.19). In the case of teachers, the most used teaching style is also reflective (M = 25.7, SD = 1.02), followed by individualized (M = 20.1, SD = 0.56) and, to a lesser extent, inquiry (M = 5.3, SD = 1.10). This research allows the generating of new knowledge that contributes to improving educational processes in the school population with a focus on renewable energies, enabling the promotion of strategies towards a sustainable society.
