Knowledge, awareness and understanding of the practice and support policies on renewable energy: exploring the perspectives of in-service teachers and polytechnics lecturers
Energy plays a significant and essential role in developing a nation's economy and social growth. However, the decreasing use of oil, gas and coal as energy sources has persuaded the government to develop sources of renewable energy (RE). Although many studies had examine the public perceptions...

| description | Energy plays a significant and essential role in developing a nation's economy and social growth. However, the decreasing use of oil, gas and coal as energy sources has persuaded the government to develop sources of renewable energy (RE). Although many studies had examine the public perceptions of renewable energy, little information was obtained from teachers and polytechnic lecturers on their awareness, conceptions and knowledge of government's policies on renewable energy, even though they play major roles in disseminating knowledge and awareness of RE to the public. To unpack the contribution of research into renewable energy, this study aims to examine the knowledge and awareness of government policy implementation and support for RE based on the responses from in-service science teachers and polytechnic lecturers. A survey of the feedback from 117 science teachers and 90 polytechnic lecturers currently in service was undertaken. Findings revealed that both groups have good and positive awareness, sufficient knowledge of RE and an in-depth understanding of government policies on supporting and implementing RE. Finally, differences linked to gender and teaching experience while teaching RE within their educational institutions were not significant. |
