Summary

"This study aims to evaluate the impact of climate change workshops grounded in Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) on students' climate change awareness, environmental consciousness, and pro-environmental behaviors. The primary objective is to foster awareness, environmental literacy, and sustainable behavioral shifts among middle school students, thereby empowering them to adopt eco-friendly practices to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Note on Protocol Revision: Due to cognitive suitability concerns identified during the pilot phase, the target population was shifted from primary to middle school students following expert consultation. This shift necessitated modifications to certain assessment instruments. These revisions have been approved by the ethics committee, and a new ethics approval number has been issued (Date of first protocol entry: July,2024).

Climate Change Workshops Based on Protection Motivation Theory

The experimental group will participate in five weekly workshops. Each workshop is scheduled to last 40 minutes. The climate change awareness workshops, grounded in Protection Motivation Theory, will address the following subjects: the balance of nature and climate change, the adoption of environmentally friendly behaviours, calculating one's ecological footprint, mitigating the effects of climate change, and the Eco-School program. The workshops will include a variety of interactive activities, such as students expressing their thoughts on weekly topics, playing topic-related games, brainstorming, watching videos, writing essays, making seed balls, and delivering presentations. Feedback was obtained from four experts for the prepared workshops. The programme was evaluated in terms of content, duration, and compatibility with the model by experts in the fields of public health (three) and education and programme development (one).
