In-Game Uncertainties and Climate Change Challenges as Identified by Pre-Service Teachers

Abstract

The paper explored how pre-service teachers can identify various uncertainties in climate board games, including the occurrence/impact of catastrophes and the behavior of players, and that they can relate these uncertainties to reality, discussing issues such as climate justice, political dilemmas, and environmental activism.

Keywords: Pre-service teachers (PSTs) Climate board games Uncertainty and risk Catastrophes and player behavior Real-world connections Climate justice Political dilemmas Environmental activism Experiential learning Simulation-based pedagogy

Core Idea: Using Climate Simulations and Games to Explore Uncertainty, Justice, and Activism in Pre-Service Teacher Education
