Abstract

Climate change is a global issue that urgently needs to be addressed from multiple perspectives. Education plays a vital role in preparing younger generations to face such challenges. This study investigates the effect of a relatively novel approach in science education, the future workshop, on high school students^ anticipatory competency related to climate change. The workshop was conducted online over three consecutive days in 2022, involving 28 students from a public high school in Bandung, Indonesia, who were active in various extracurricular communities. Using a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, data were collected through a 30-item, 8-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results show a significant improvement in students^ anticipatory competency, highlighting the potential of the future workshop method as an effective educational strategy to enhance climate change anticipatory competency in high schools.
