A recent study has revealed that the ‘Play, Learn and Act Now’ (PLAN) climate game is an effective tool for improving retention of climate change concepts among Nigerian students. The validation came from a doctoral dissertation defended by Tine Agernor at Benue State University, Makurdi.
According to the research, students exposed to the PLAN game performed better and showed higher interest in climate change studies compared to those taught with traditional methods. Utilising 188 students aged 13-15 in Benue state, the research found that the game was particularly engaging for female students compared to their male counterparts, highlighting its potential to boost female participation in climate action. The PLAN climate card game, co-developed by Aliyu Sadiq and Lauritta Boniface, executive directors of Ecocykle, has so far reached more than 5,000 people across 11 countries.
