Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Climate change is prevalent worldwide. The Sustainable Development Goals focused on climate action. Climate Action teaches people to be prepared in times of disaster. In this study, the researcher developed Climate Change Awareness Scale (CCAS) and validated it in a sample of 500 students from SHS, College, Masters, and Doctorate students from different schools such as Echague National High School, Ramon High School, Isabela State University, Cavite National High School, and Philippine Normal University. The results show the validity of the 4 factors of Action on Climate Change, Inappropriate Action, Perceptions, and Unaware Action on Climate Change. To verify the content and construct validity of the CCAS, items were created based on the literature and chosen using factor analysis. The KMO and Barlett's test shows that the sample is adequate with a result of .864. The test has 50 items that were run using EFA and gathered 5 components. The original statements were now refined after EFA and categorized based on the result. There are 5 components extracted but component 5 has low variance. The CCAS pra ovides awareness to us on what is the appropriate action on climate change and educates us on some inappropriate actions during climate change.
