A dataset of assessment for understanding and awareness of renewable energy among Indonesian students

The awareness factor in the use of renewable energy is one of the biggest obstacles in Indonesia. Therefore, this research evaluated the awareness level of renewable energy as well as compared and determined its relationship with gender and educational level. Data were collected through a questionnaire-based survey and analyzed using non-parametric test methods with a quantitative descriptive approach. The results showed that the average awareness level among vocational high school (SMK) students is in the moderate category with a score of 57.50. On the other hand, the average awareness level among students of engineering faculty (FT) and vocational engineering education (PTK) falls into the high category, with an average score of 75.25. This means that there is a significant difference between educational groups. Meanwhile, this research also showed no significant difference between males and females. The results offer valuable insights and recommendations concerning the awareness level of the younger generation in Indonesia regarding renewable energy.可再生能源使用的认知水平，是印度尼西亚当前面临的最大阻碍之一。为此，本研究评估了民众的可再生能源认知水平，同时对比分析了该认知水平与性别、受教育程度之间的关联。本研究通过问卷调研收集数据，并采用非参数检验（non-parametric test）结合定量描述性研究方法开展数据分析。结果显示，职业高中（SMK）学生的平均认知得分为57.50，处于中等水平。相较而言，工程学院（FT）与职业工程教育（PTK）学生的平均认知得分达75.25，处于较高水平。这表明不同教育群体的认知水平存在显著差异。与此同时，本研究未发现不同性别群体间的认知水平存在显著差异。本研究结果可为提升印尼年轻一代的可再生能源认知水平提供重要参考与针对性建议。
