I was during the third term when I was still a first year education degree student when we had a week-long assignment on education awareness or also known as educational awareness. Out lecturer gave us the option of choosing our own topic if it is related to the subject area of education awareness. In my assignment, I first defined education awareness as making individuals, groups, or organizations to be perceptive or have the awareness about a particular topic, issue or concern that needs attention.
Then, I selected the topic of educational awareness for the issue of climate change and I focused my assignment paper about the importance of why everyone involved in education should raise awareness and perception about the issues, concerns and problems about climate change. I stated in my paper that everyone who is a stakeholder in education such as the schools, educators, government agencies, non-government organizations, communities, and other stakeholders should have programs that would involve the efforts or activities in increasing the education awareness for climate change.
To research for my assignment, I read and studied reference books, journals, newspapers and magazines, and other reading materials about educational awareness on climate change. I found out that in the local level such as a primary school in a community, the concerned people in the school could plan and carry out educational programs in the school that would raise the awareness of the students about being knowledgeable on the issues concerning climate change.
I learned that a primary school does not necessarily have to introduce a new or separate subject or create a special class so that the students would be aware about climate change. The school administration could include the topic of climate change in the subjects of sciences and social studies where climate change could be discussed in several ways such as a combination of class discussions, assignments and laboratory works.
