Environmental education (EE) is gaining attention among educators as it is an important approach to raise awareness on sustainability. According to a survey students environmental awareness needs to be moulded from school. The main purpose of this study is to examine the ability of Form Four students to identify some air pollution-based socio-scientific issues (SSI) that occur daily through comics. This study was carried out during the 2021 academic year and about 34 students from five schools in Terengganu participated in this activity. Based on the collected data four main types of air pollution were identified from the comics namely local area stationary mobile and natural sources. The paired t-test revealed there was statistical differences in the students awareness shift towards air pollution-based SSI (p0.000). In addition students showed high degree of satisfaction towards the activity based on their reflective essays. Based on their comic drawings participants showed understanding that humans are part of the environment and they are affected by the air pollution as other living organisms and anthropogenic activities are the main cause of air pollution.

Abstract

Environmental education (EE) is gaining attention among educators as it is an important approach to raise awareness on sustainability. According to a survey students environmental awareness needs to be moulded from school. The main purpose of this study is to examine the ability of Form Four students to identify some air pollution-based socio-scientific issues (SSI) that occur daily through comics. This study was carried out during the 2021 academic year and about 34 students from five schools in Terengganu participated in this activity. Based on the collected data four main types of air pollution were identified from the comics namely local area stationary mobile and natural sources. The paired t-test revealed there was statistical differences in the students awareness shift towards air pollution-based SSI (p0.000). In addition students showed high degree of satisfaction towards the activity based on their reflective essays. Based on their comic drawings participants showed understanding that humans are part of the environment and they are affected by the air pollution as other living organisms and anthropogenic activities are the main cause of air pollution.
