Presenting a Wind Turbine Model for Climate Change Education and Action

Abstract

This article presents and assessment a climate change education model - a wind turbine model. This model has been developed based on extensive technical literature review, from which the essential aspects of climate change education have been extracted. The wind turbine model is a comprehensive educational tool for climate change, emphasizing the importance of the following aspects: knowledge, critical thinking skills, values awareness, identity, worldview, practical actions, motivation, participation, future orientation, hope, and other emotions, as well as operational barriers. In this study, we have considered wind as one of the effects of climate change and a turbine as a means, not for production but for combating climate change. Each component of the turbine, such as the generator, gearbox, and transformer, is also considered as part of this system to enhance knowledge, environmental perspective, and behavior in the family. Finally, this model is presented for environmental education through social networks in families. After presenting the above-mentioned action plan to combat climate change, they have been ranked. Finally, this article discusses how to develop this model in the future.
