Climate change curriculum for children – generative learning across multiple intelligences

Abstract

This study developed a local climate change curriculum that incorporates generative learning strategies and emphasizes the creation of visually engaging educational content. The curriculum’s impact was assessed by examining generative learning through recall and knowledge transfer, as well as declarative knowledge across elementary students with different multiple intelligences (n = 68). The findings offer preliminary evidence of moderate learning gains. We also discuss the implications of these findings for the development of a localized climate change curriculum.
