Learning about green energy in the romanian secondary school physics curriculum

Abstract

Learning about green energy in the pre-university physics curriculum is an essential step in the ecological education of young generations, aiming to reduce pollution factors, conserve natural resources, and protect the environment. This paper analyzes the extent to which notions of renewable energy and energy efficiency have been integrated into the pre-university school physics curriculum. The purpose of this article is to analyze the extent to which topics related to green energy and sustainable development of society are present in the secondary school physics curricula. Primary education programs and optional subject programs were also considered. The research methodology includes curriculum analysis. The conclusions underline the need for the continuous updating of the school curriculum to reflect technological and ecological developments, thus ensuring the formation of a wellinformed and ecologically responsible generation.
