Abstract:
Renewable energy education should become an obligatory component of public education to improve the use of green energy. Students who understand the basic principles behind solar cells and other alternate energy sources would be more likely to be better informed in their decision-making. Such perspectives would help students to become part of a new workforce surrounding these "green" technologies. So we should teach the importance of solar cells and how it works as an alternative way to produce energy by direct conversion of the solar light into electricity. Team based concept mapping can be a valuable instrument in facilitating the learning of solar cell concepts and to demonstrate what they have learned. A lesson focused on solar energy, for example, would be a great opportunity to include collaborative concept mapping at the end of the lesson to see how students understand concepts and how that understanding changes. We should identify important solar cell concepts properly for students, which should be timeless, universal, abstract and broad. The purpose of the present work is to make a collaborative concept map of basic principles of solar cell by using PVCDROM website. It is essentially an open on-line book contains animated graphics and simulations to actively participate in an activity for the students in learning photovoltaic.
