Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Learning Strategy on Secondary School Teachers Climate Change Awareness in Borno and Yobe State, Nigeria

The study attempt to study Climate change awareness level among teachers in Borno and Yobe state Nigeria and how virtual reality can be employed as strategy in teaching secondary school students. Impacts of Climate change are increasing in severity all over the world therefore, develloping teaching strategies as interventions to encourage behaviors that address climate change is important. This study will also investigate virtual reality could impact teaching about climate change in schools and influence climate friendly behavior. Sudarjat (2023) suggested that one of the well-known methods to introduce and raise students awareness about global warming in class is through experiential learning which is a learning process that encourages process of knowledge being created through transformation of experience. This study will employ simulations of climate scenarios to teach potential impacts of rising temperatures, flooding, and deforestation on communities and ecosystems. Research on climate change and virtual learning in secondary schools in Nigeria is relatively less hence the study on effectiveness of virtual reality on climate change awareness in secondary schools in Borno and Yobe state Nigeria. Results of this study may provide opportunities for further research, improve awareness among students and teachers on climate change behaviors.
