Good Practice Case Study: "Educational Project: Energy and its Relation with the Environment" (Peerma), Spain

Case Study (51 Kb PDF)

Summary

The Community of Madrid has an energy consumption of 9 millions of tep (2000). It only produces 2,5 % and has the aim to reduce the consumption by 10% by the year 2010.

Fields of work include education on saving energy and respect to the environment, working in the education of young men.

The Educational Project "Energy and its Relation with the Environment", made by Alida Ingeniería del Medio S.L. and supported by the Consejería of Education and Environment of the Community of Madrid, has been developed over a three year period (2000 - 2003), for 88 Institutes of Secondary Education, 350 teachers and 18 000 pupils of the ESO (from 12 to 16 years). Training experience incorporating I+D teaching showed excellent results and continues to be given with this didactic material.

Results

The system chosen to evaluate the Project consisted of meetings between Alida Ingeniería del Medio S.L. and participating teachers in each centre, along with opinion polls. Three polls were carried out during the 2000-2001 school year (1st course) and another two during the 2001-2002 scholar year (2nd course). Analysis of the average values of the most representative questions allowed the Project to obtain a global scope of its operation. During the 3rd course no polls were made, since the Project was considered sufficiently evaluated. The polls were answered by the teachers and each question was valued according to the following scale: 5 very positive, 4 positive, 3 average, 2 negative, 1 very negative.

The average value for each question is given below:

• Importance of this subject in energy and environment: 4.48
• Quality of the Educational Project trial: 3.91
• Evaluation of the bibliographic fund: 3.87
• Usefulness of the student€s notebook: 3.76
• Interest in energy and environment relationship: 3.69
• Awareness of the advantages of renewable energies: 3.89
• Degree of awareness of energy saving: 3.51
• Global evaluation of the Project€s development in class: 3.86
