• Examining Taiwanese students’ views on climate change and the teaching of climate change in the context of higher education (2021) · doi

  Background Although higher education continues to pay great attention to teaching climate change, relatively little is known about how university students understand and perceive climate change and its teaching and learning, and how their understanding and perceptions may change over the course of climate change instruction.

• “Stories are our survival guides”: Ecojustice literacies in politically and ecologically vulnerable places (2024) · doi

  Recognizing that “addressing climate change demands the involvement” of English Language Arts and Literacy (ELA-L) teachers (National Council of Teachers of English, Citation2019), research remains to be done on how ELA-L teachers use language and communication themselves around climate and socioecological crisis.

• Teachers' sources of information about climate change: A scoping review (2021) · doi

  The ‘superabundance’ of information now available to teachers (particularly online), the importance of high‐quality information for students' understandings of climate change, and the limited research on the sources of information about climate change that teachers use makes this is a significant blind spot for research to address.

  Keywords: information teachers climate change superabundance available particularly online importance high quality students understandings limited sources
• Climate Change Education for Mitigation and Adaptation (2012) · doi

  Finally, given that the majority of evidence that exists is anecdotal, often in case study format without monitoring and evaluation processes in place that could lead to quantitative as well as qualitative data, the article highlights remaining questions and areas of research that need to be investigated in order to guide effective climate change education policy and practice.

• Climate Competence in the Education of Preschool and Early School Teachers (2026) · doi

  These findings justify the need to incorporate climate-related content into teacher education curricula and to undertake further research on effective implementation strat- egies, methodological support and graduates’ professional practice, which could inform the development of a modern model of teacher education grounded in responsibility, environmental awareness and action for future generations.
