TRANSFORMING ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION: EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF DATA PHYSICALIZATION ON CHILDREN'S LEARNING

Abstract

This paper explores the integration of data physicalization in Education for SustainableDevelopment (ESD), focusing on its potential to enhance the learning experience for young audiences, particularly those aged 7-12. By examining current approaches in ESD and analyzing the impact of tangible data interactions on children's understanding and engagement with sustainability issues, the study underscores the importance of innovative educational methods. Preliminary findings indicate that data physicalization help enhance comprehension, engagement, and active learning among young learners. The research contributes to the discourse on effective ESD practices, advocating for the inclusion of data physicalization techniques in educational curriculums to better prepare youth for addressing global environmental challenges.
