简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an ecological footprint awareness training program for children aged 60-72 months.
详细描述
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.

盲法说明
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.

主要结局
Ecological Footprint Awareness Scale for 60-72 Month-old Children scores
时间窗: four weeks
ıt contains five themes, including 'Water and energy use,' 'Waste utilization,' 'Food consumption,' and 'Transportation'. It contains a total of 19 items, which are asked through a game and story structure. he scale is divided into two sections: a game section and a story section. In the game section, children are shown pictures and asked how the characters should behave. In the story section, children are told a story and asked which character is behaving in an environmentally friendly way. Children who answer correctly receive a score of "1", while those who answer incorrectly receive a score of "0". The total score is used to measure environmental awareness. The KR-20 coefficient for internal consistency reliability of the EKAY-O was calculated as 0.66.
