dc.description.abstractIn this article, the authors explore the impact of an energy literacy course tailored exclusively for Kuwaiti students, designed to align with Kuwaiti social norms and culture. The course’s objective is to enrich students’ cognitive comprehension, affective attitudes, and behavioural practices related to energy consumption and conservation. This study used a comprehensive approach that combines quantitative and qualitative survey methods, including focus group discussions and observations to assess the course’s effectiveness. The results showed that the energy literacy course was successful in improving students’ energy-related knowledge, affective attitudes and behaviours. The findings show that students who participated in the course demonstrated greater cognitive gains, particularly on items related to more practical topics, and a more positive attitude towards energy conservation as compared to their levels before the course. Overall, the tailored energy literacy course proved to be an effective intervention, successfully enhancing students’ cognitive understanding, cultivating positive affective attitudes and promoting sustainable energy-related behaviours. © WIETE 2024.
