Climate Change Awareness and Learners’ Performance in Science Class

This study assessed the effectiveness of climate change awareness activities and their impact on the science performance of Grade VI students in District V, Malaybalay City Division, during the 2025–2026 school year. It specifically examined how awareness activities were implemented across five areas: content quality, duration, delivery method, environmental attitudes, and sustainable practices. The study used a descriptive-correlational research design to examine the relationship between the effectiveness of these activities and students’ academic performance in science. Data were collected from students at Panamucan Elementary School and Airport Village Elementary School through a survey questionnaire created by the researcher. Statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the data.
