Abstract
Climate change becomes, nowadays, a challenging issue. World citizens need to move forward with a thorough insight into the various risks that may be arisen from climate change. This study focuses on developing students’ climate literacy at the climate attentive level using inquiry instruction and games. Target group are 33 seventh-grade students from the public school of the vulnerable agricultural community context in Nan, Thailand adopting purposive sampling to join a six-weeks science course. The data of the understanding test and awareness questionnaire in the ratio 1:1; percentage scores were analyzed using the paired independent t-test after learning by inquiry instruction and games. Results showed that there is a statistically significant (p<.05) differences between pre and post climate literacy scores and climate literacy level. It is indicated that the use of inquiry instruction and games had a thorough effect on students’ climate literacy development. Besides, community cases should be carefully considered to facilitate to encourage students’ decision making.
