Abstract

Teaching biodiversity and conservation is essential in fostering students’ environmental awareness and shaping them into responsible citizens and future stewards of their communities. This study evaluated the effectiveness of two distinct teaching strategies—conventional instruction and study sheets—in enhancing Grade 10 students’ knowledge and awareness of biodiversity and conservation. A total of 58 students participated in the quasi-experimental study, with 29 students assigned to the control group receiving traditional classroom instruction and 29 students in the experimental group guided through structured study sheets. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups over one month to measure gains in knowledge and awareness. The data collected from the pre-tests and post-tests were carefully analyzed to see how each group of students progressed. The results showed a clear difference: those who used the study sheets scored higher in their post-tests and showed a better understanding and greater awareness of biodiversity and conservation. This suggests that study sheets, being more student-friendly and engaging, help learners grasp complex environmental topics more effectively. They provide a hands-on, interactive approach that encourages students to think critically and actively participate in learning. These findings highlight the value of rethinking our teaching methods and embracing innovative tools that make science more meaningful and accessible for students. Educators can better equip students with the scientific understanding and environmental values necessary for meaningful participation in conservation efforts by incorporating effective strategies like study sheets. The study recommends integrating structured learning materials into science education curricula to strengthen environmental literacy among learners.
