| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this project is to assess chiidren1s knowledge about Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) and subsequently use this knowledge to create awareness of RE and EE among children. Preschool children's informal experiences are rich with aspects of RE and EE which could be harnessed as a strong foundation to promote children's awareness and knowledge of RE and EE. First, preschool childrens were informally interviewed on their ideas of EE. The children were shown every day situational experiences and were asked to talk or tell story about these objects. The findings from the study was used to develop preschool modules integrating Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) in mathematics, science and Malay language. The modules developed were tried out during USM preservice teacher's practical training. 220 preschool students from 9 rural and urban schools around Kedah and Penang states were involved. Data were collected using video tapes of pre service teachers teaching using the modules and teacher reflection on their practices in implementing the modules. Initial analyses of data indicated that preschool children are actively involved during the activities as suggested in the modules and they also give positive responses. A website was designed (http://epedagogiprasekolah.ses.usm.my/) to encourage preschool teachers to implement and integrating Energy Efficiency in their teaching. The main section for this website discuss about lesson plans, resources, teachers activities and children activities. The website too has forums for interested teachers to interact. | en_US |
