This study delves into the teaching of climate change objectives within the Advanced-Level
Geography curriculum at Mauya Adventist Secondary School. Utilizing a case study approach grounded in pragmatism, the research addresses three key questions: Facilitating Framework: What objectives within the Advanced-Level Geography syllabus best fosters the teaching of climate change objectives? Critical Thinking: How are critical thinking skills nurtured within the learning process to enhance comprehension of climate change? Support Systems: How effective are available support systems in enhancing the understating of climate change objectives among advanced level learners? Data collection employed a multifaceted approach, encompassing questionnaires, semi-structured interviews with learners, teachers, and the Head of Geography, and a thorough analysis of the syllabus. Key findings reveal that: The syllabus extensively covers climate impacts, albeit primarily focusing on negative consequences. Content analysis activities encourage data interpretation skills development. Debates and discussions serve as effective tools for stimulating critical thinking. The school library emerges as the primary support system for students grappling with climate change objectives. Based on these insights, the study suggests potential improvements: Integrating more hands-on activities and experiments into the curriculum. Facilitating regular student interactions with climate change experts. These proposed enhancements aim to further empower students to engage critically and constructively with this crucial topic
