Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was conducted using a cluster randomized controlled pretest-posttest experimental design. It was carried out in four kindergartens located in a city center between April and June 2023. Two of the kindergartens were assigned to the intervention group while the other two were assigned to the control group. Data was collected using the Ecological Footprint Awareness Scale for Children (EFAS-C). The training program was conducted with the children in the intervention group for four weeks, with a 40-minute session each week. The program covered one topic each week, which included waste management, water and energy use, food consumption, and transportation. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired groups t-test, and independent groups t-test, with a 95% confidence interval and p\<.05 significance level.

Participants Investigators

The researcher responsible for the study identified the children who were assigned to the intervention and control groups. This person was not involved in the implementation of the study to ensure that measurement bias was controlled. To avoid detection bias, statistical bias, and reporting bias, a third researcher, who did not know which children were in the intervention and control groups, was responsible for coding and analyzing the research data.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ecological Footprint Awareness Program Group

The program was conducted for four weeks, one day each week, for 40 minutes. Each week, a different topic was addressed such as waste evaluation, water and energy usage, food consumption, and transportation. The program was created in line with expert opinions and literature.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ecological Footprint Awareness Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The program was conducted for four weeks, one day each week, for 40 minutes. Each week, a different topic was addressed such as waste evaluation, water and energy usage, food consumption, and transportation. The program was created in line with expert opinions and literature. The sessions were based on the principles of the Social Cognitive Learning Theory, developed by Bandura, which includes mutual determinism, symbolization, anticipatory capacity, vicarious learning, self-regulation capacity, and self-judgment capacity. During each session, various techniques such as animation, drawing, storytelling, memory cards, and games were employed. To ensure the program's content was appropriate for children's development, the opinions of two experts from the child development department of the university were obtained.
