Effect of Earthquake Literacy Education on Earthquake Literacy and Fear Among Adolescents

9. november 2026 oppdatert av: Ebru Sönmez Sari, Bayburt University

The Effect of Earthquake Literacy Education on Earthquake Literacy Levels and Fear of Earthquakes Among Adolescents

This study aims to evaluate the effects of an earthquake literacy education program on earthquake literacy and earthquake-related fear among middle school students in grades 5-8 in Akpınar district, Kırşehir, Türkiye.

Earthquakes are an important public health concern, and providing children with age-appropriate information may help them understand earthquake risks, develop appropriate preparedness behaviors, and manage earthquake-related fear.

In this study, students will be assigned to either an intervention group or a control group at the class level, with randomization stratified by grade. Students in the intervention group will participate in a three-week earthquake literacy education program. Students in the control group will not receive this education program during the study period.

Earthquake literacy and earthquake-related fear will be assessed using standardized measurement instruments before the intervention (Week 1) and immediately after the intervention (Week 5). Changes in the scores between these two assessments will be compared between the intervention and control groups.

The findings are expected to provide information about the effectiveness of earthquake literacy education in improving students' earthquake literacy and addressing earthquake-related fear.

Detaljert beskrivelse

This study is a randomized controlled educational intervention study designed to evaluate the effects of an earthquake literacy education program on earthquake literacy and earthquake-related fear among middle school students.

The study will be conducted among students in grades 5-8 attending middle schools in Akpınar district, Kırşehir, Türkiye. Classes will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group, with randomization stratified by grade level.

Students assigned to the intervention group will participate in a three-week earthquake literacy education program. The program aims to improve students' knowledge and understanding of earthquakes, earthquake preparedness, and appropriate responses to earthquake-related risks. Students in the control group will continue their usual educational activities and will not receive the study intervention during the study period.

Data will be collected at two time points. Baseline assessments will be conducted in Week 1, before the intervention. Follow-up assessments will be conducted in Week 5, immediately after the intervention period.

The primary outcome measures are changes in earthquake literacy scale scores and earthquake fear scale scores from baseline to immediately post-intervention. The outcomes will be compared between the intervention and control groups to evaluate the effects of the educational program.

The study will contribute to the evidence on school-based earthquake education and its potential role in supporting children's earthquake preparedness and addressing earthquake-related fear.

Eksperimentell: Experimental Group - Earthquake Literacy Education

Participants in this group will receive a three-week earthquake literacy education program consisting of four modules addressing the cognitive, behavioral, and affective dimensions of earthquake literacy. The modules cover understanding earthquakes, preparedness before an earthquake, appropriate responses during and after an earthquake, and managing emotions. Participants will complete pretest assessments at baseline and posttest assessments at the end of the study.

A three-week educational intervention delivered by the researcher, consisting of one session per week and covering the cognitive, behavioral, and affective dimensions of earthquake literacy. The program comprises four modules: (1) Understanding Earthquakes (cognitive dimension); (2) Being Prepared (behavioral dimension - before an earthquake); (3) Appropriate Response (behavioral dimension - during and after an earthquake); and (4) Managing Emotions (affective dimension). The intervention aims to improve adolescents' earthquake literacy and reduce their fear of earthquakes.

Ingen inngripen: Control Group - No Intervention

Participants in this group will not receive any intervention during the study period. They will complete the same pretest and posttest assessments as the experimental group using the same data collection instruments.
