Description

Climate change is a global challenge that requires a comprehensive understanding from prospective biology educators as agents of change in environmental education. The digital era offers various learning innovations that can improve students' understanding of the complexity of
climate change, but the effectiveness and preferences of students towards these learning technologies have not been widely explored in the context of biology education. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge of biology education students about the causes, impacts, mitigation, and adaptation of climate change, as well as to identify their preferences for various digital learning innovations in the context of climate change education. The research method used is descriptive quantitative. The research subjects are active students of the Biology Education study program from several universities in Indonesia. The focus will be on the undergraduate student population. The sample was selected using stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a validated questionnaire consisting of: (1) a 40-item climate change knowledge test covering causes (10 items), impacts (10 items), mitigation (10 items), and adaptation (10 items); (2) a 25-item digital learning innovation preference scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and one-way ANOVA.
