Applied Energy, 1991, vol. 40, issue 2, 119-156

Abstract: The evolution of energy education within UK schools and the inherent problems associated with teaching the subject of [`]energy' to children are reviewed. Unfortunately the provision of energy education, at all levels, is inadequate: cohesion is often poor and lack of continuity sometimes occurs. Macro-level recommendations are proferred to enhance the quality of energy-education provision within primary and secondary schools.
