To bridge the existing knowledge gap….

The College of Education, Bachelor of Secondary Education Launch an awareness campaign through the development , utilization and dissemination of Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) to the desired beneficiaries .

​

Participants: Teachers and Parents

​

Project: CREATES

Communication, Resources, Education, and Awareness Through Timely Extension Services

​

These materials are designed to provide clear, accessible information about the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to climate change. By leveraging IEC tools, we aim to enhance community knowledge, foster proactive engagement, and support collective efforts toward environmental resilience and sustainability.

Effects Based on Research

  • This initiative has played a significant role in raising awareness among parents about the detrimental effects of climate change.
  • ISUFST has committed to educating the community on effective mitigation strategies and environmental conservation
  • The university has successfully fostered community involvement and support in addressing climate change and promoting environmental stewardship.
  • The production of IEC materials on environmental awareness and used as instructional materials also increases the students environmental awareness

​

FINDINGS

The study revealed that the use of multimedia IEC (Information, Education, and Communication) materials significantly enhanced environmental awareness and science performance among Grade 8 students. The pre-test and post-test results demonstrated a marked improvement in students' understanding of environmental issues and scientific concepts after exposure to the developed IEC materials. Additionally, students exhibited a greater ability to apply their knowledge to real-life environmental situations, indicating a deeper comprehension and retention of the information presented.

Student feedback also highlighted the engaging and interactive nature of the multimedia IEC materials, which contributed to their increased interest in environmental topics. The integration of videos, animations, and interactive activities was particularly effective in making complex concepts more accessible and relatable. This engagement translated into higher levels of participation and enthusiasm in class discussions and activities related to environmental science.
