Abstract: (11 Views)
Objective: Environmental education seeks to develop citizens' understanding of the environment, which is essential for tackling global issues, promoting sustainable knowledge between humans and nature, and building resilient people and communities. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the state of environmental education and strategies for fostering environmental responsibility, awareness, and knowledge in school to ensure a sustainable future.
Methods: A review of past research on the connection between environmental concerns and school-based environmental education was carried out. The use of environmental awareness strategies in pre-primary, primary, and upper-grade education was examined. Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia, worldwide blogs, and educational databases were consulted in order to retrieve and analysis the relevant material
Results: Currently, environmental education is progressively moving beyond the natural world and incorporating into a comprehensive framework that includes societal, economic, and political aspects. Devastating climate change made environmental education even more crucial as a future educational policy for young children, significantly adding to the worldwide conversation on sustainable development. Without a wide spectrum of individuals contributing a variety of perspectives and experiences, it is difficult to make sound environmental judgements or promote significant environmental change. Since everyone should have access to environmental education, it is imperative that it be redesigned with the marginalized at the forefront.
Conclusions: To increase the effectiveness of environmental learning, a communicator sharing various environmental experiences or a student activity might be crucial. The global impact of teachers' viewpoints on environmental education awareness and the quest of sustainable development are significant. Teachers are essential in providing sustainable development knowledge and cultivating the skills needed to meet Sustainable Development Agendas in formal education.
