Biology Education Students Knowledge of the Causes, Impacts, Mitigation and Adaptation of Climate Change: Their Preferences for Digital Learning Innovations a) Faculty of Mathematics and Science Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia Abstract Climate change is a global challenge that requires a comprehensive understanding from prospective biology educators as agents of change in environmental education. The digital age offers various learning innovations that can enhance students^ understanding of the complexity of climate change- however, the effectiveness and students^ preferences toward these learning technologies have not been extensively explored in the context of biology education. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge among biology education students regarding the causes, impacts, mitigation, and adaptation of climate change, as well as to identify their preferences toward various digital learning innovations in the context of climate change education. The research method is quantitative descriptive. The research subjects are active students in the Biology Education program from several universities in Indonesia. The focus will be on undergraduate students. The sample was selected using stratified random sampling. The research instrument consists of a validated questionnaire comprising: (1) a 40-item climate change knowledge test covering causes (10 items), impacts (10 items), mitigation (10 items), and adaptation (10 items)- (2) a digital learning innovation preference scale with 25 items covering virtual reality, augmented reality, digital simulation, mobile learning, and interactive learning platforms. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and one-way ANOVA. Keywords: climate change- biology education- digital learning innovation- educational technology Topic: Biology and Biology Education |
