Becoming a Climate Change Educator: First-grade Pupils’ Action Research by Sandra Kairė, Jovita Vaivadaitė, Augustina Kundrotaitė

“…The study highlights a key aspect: becoming a climate change educator means developing her professional competence to work on climate change and developing a personal relationship with climate change phenomenon that moves beyond the classroom environment. The development of a personal relationship with climate change brings to the forefront the teacher‘s awareness of the need for climate change education at school to reduce the destructive activities of human beings in relation to the planet and mitigate the effects of human-induced climate change. …”
