AB  - This research aims to reveal the effect of energy education, in which different teaching methods and techniques are used, on renewable energy awareness. The multidimensional energy education given within the scope of the study includes the theoretical and practical dimensions of the education, open field trips for renewable energy, and workshops. The study group consists of Vocational and Technical Anatolian high school students who will be among the decision makers of the future. In this study, qualitative and quantitative research methods were used together. One-group experimental design was used in the quantitative dimension and structured interviews were used in the qualitative dimension. Related samples t-test was used for quantitative data and content analysis was performed for qualitative data. The obtained findings show the success of multidimensional energy education in increasing energy awareness. Interview results reveal that students' statements about the environmental impacts of non-renewable energy sources increased after the education. The results of this study can help design and deliver effective energy education programs to raise awareness of renewable and non-renewable technologies and their impact on the environment.

N2  - Bu araştırma, farklı öğretim yöntem ve tekniklerinin kullanıldığı enerji eğitiminin yenilenebilir enerji farkındalığına etkisini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında verilen çok boyutlu enerji eğitimi, eğitimin teorik ve pratik boyutlarını, yenilenebilir enerjiye yönelik saha gezilerini ve çalıştayları içermektedir. Çalışma grubu, geleceğin karar vericileri arasında olacak Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemleri bir arada kullanılmıştır. Nicel boyutta tek gruplu deneysel tasarım, nitel boyutta ise yapılandırılmış görüşmeler kullanılmıştır. Nicel veriler için ilgili örnekler t-testi, nitel veriler için ise içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular çok boyutlu enerji eğitiminin enerji farkındalığını artırmadaki başarısını göstermektedir. Nitel bulgular, öğrencilerin yenilenemeyen enerji kaynaklarının çevresel etkilerine ilişkin ifadelerinin eğitim sonrasında arttığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, yenilenebilir ve yenilenemeyen teknolojiler ve bunların çevre üzerindeki etkileri konusunda farkındalığı artırmak için etkili enerji eğitimi programlarının tasarlanmasına ve sunulmasına yardımcı olabilir.
