Abstract

The research aimed to identify the effectiveness of a proposed unit based on industrial exploratory activities via the web for developing industrial education students’ awareness of climate change and professional responsibility towards the environment. To achieve the research aims, the proposed unit based on industrial exploratory activities via the web was prepared as well as a climate change awareness test and a situations scale of awareness of professional responsibility. The two research groups were selected from second-grade students at Al-Maragha Industrial Secondary School for Boys and divided into a first experimental group (the proposed unit is taught using the normal explanation method) and a second experimental group (studying the proposed unit using industrial exploratory activities via the web). The results showed the advantage of teaching the proposed unit using industrial exploratory activities via the web in developing awareness of the risks resulting from climate change and professional responsibility of the students of the second experimental group over the students of the first experimental group who studied the proposed unit in the normal explanation method in the post-application.
