Book excerpt: This quantitative study investigated the impact of environmental learning programs on the environmental worldview (attitudes, beliefs, and values) of secondary school aged students. In order to research the effect that environmental learning programs have on the environmental orientation of individuals, 41 high school students who were currently taking an A.P. Environmental Science class were given New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) survey which is designed to measure the student's environmental orientation. The data was analyzed using a 95% confidence t-interval, which allowed the researcher to collect data from a sample population and apply the statistical analysis of the results to the larger population of which the sample came from. The population to which this particular sample came from would be the entire population of secondary students who have taken a semester-long environmental science course. The results supported the research hypothesis that students who participate in environmental learning programs during the course of their secondary education will have a proenvironmental worldview (attitudes, beliefs, and values). However, in order to determine the extent to which the results support the hypothesis further research is needed.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, Allahabad University, language: English, abstract: Environmental education should have been given high priority. It extends to create awareness about the environment among the students. This study uses the descriptive type survey approach. The sample for the study consisted of 152 students (30 boys & 39 girls of class IX and 35 boys & 48 girls of class XI respectively) studying in Hindi medium U P Board schools of Allahabad city. The tools used were Environmental Awareness Test and Scientific Attitude questionnaire of K. S. Misra. Product- moment coefficient of correlation was computed for the analysis of the data. The environmental education conference at Tbilisi (USSR) in 1977 identified its ultimate aim as creating awareness, behavioural, attitudes and values directed towards preserving the biosphere, the quality of life everywhere as well on safeguarding ethical values and cultural and natural heritage, including holy places, historical landmarks, works of arts, monuments and sites, human and natural environment, including fauna and flora and human settlements. The Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education (UNESCO, 1978) recommended the primary categories of the environmental education curriculum goals and objectives of (a) awareness, (b) knowledge, (c) attitudes, (d) skills, (e) participation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive survey and analysis of teachers’ attitude towards environment and its related issues. The study of environment has become much more relevant today, than it was ever before. It is now that man has realized his mistakes and started thinking about Nature's protection and preservation. The teacher plays an important role in teaching learning process and in turn the child is influenced by his teaching to meet the social and physical aspects of the environment. Teachers can help the students to form a healthy constructive attitude for environment. Once, this healthy constructive attitude for the nature is formed the child will become a friend of the nature through out life. In the light of this, the entire matter is organized into five chapters. The first chapter is all about current environmental issues and constitutional provisions regarding environment, environmental education in the school curriculum and role of school teachers. The second chapter describes the studies related to environment and teachers’ attitude towards it. The third chapter is methodology adopted to find out the teachers’ attitude towards environment and its related issues. The fourth chapter is related to detailed analysis and interpretation of teachers’ attitude towards environment with reference to locale, gender and medium of instruction. The fifth chapter focuses on implications and recommendations on the basis of the finding of the results. The author believe that this book will prove to be useful to students, research scholars and the teachers who seems to be interested in the current environmental issues and the attitude of teachers towards environment. The author is grateful to all the authors, editors and their publishers whose publication he has made use of in preparing this book. I hope that readers will find this book useful. I will be looking forward for feedback from them. Dr. Syed Hasan Qasim

Book excerpt: “The hope for the future depends on teaching current and future students the analytical and critical thinking skills for dealing with the most critical problems. My own hope is for this book to be read by everyone, even those outside the field of environmental education. Read this book, read it again, share it widely, and do something - anything - to help our needy and wounded planet."-Marc Bekoff, author of The Animal Manifesto: Six Reasons For Expanding Our Compassion Footprint "Saylan and Blumstein provide a compelling vision of what can be, and what should be, if we have the courage to open our eyes and the boldness to act.”-Peter Saundry, Ph.D., Executive Director of the National Council for Science and the Environment “A clarion call to incorporate environmental education in all grades K-12, across all academic disciplines, in order to produce future generations of environmental stewards."-Mark Gold, President, Heal The Bay "We need a sea change in the educational system. After all, if we can teach schoolchildren that vandalism is wrong, why can we not teach them that environmental destruction is wrong? This book is a haunting call to action. A beautifully written manifesto that gets it right."-Ron Swaisgood, Director of Applied Animal Ecology, Institute for Conservation Research, San Diego Zoo Global “The greatest threat to the future of all species on the planet is the huge gap between what is understood about global climate change by the scientific community and what is known about climate change by the people who need to know -- the public. The sound prescriptions in this book need to be read now. We are running out of time.”-Dr. James Hansen, world-renowned climatologist and author of Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity “Environmental education is a disaster and educating the public on environmental issues is the greatest challenge facing humanity today. This book will help us understand why we are headed toward the collapse of civilization, and more important, how to fix it. Packed with sound science, useful information, and brilliant ideas, it is a book we must read, and give, to our local school boards and principals nationwide. Our children will thank us."-Paul R.

Both natural and man-made environment are in critical condition as a result of increasing use. Action must be taken before reaching the point of no return. Creating awareness and a beter understanding of the human-environment relationship are the best solutions to solve the problems, especially in regard to the secondary school students. Yet, the EE program faces a lot of problems; some of these are common to both developed and developing nations while others are peculiar to one country.

This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science education is important as it equips students with scientific knowledge that can enrich their everyday lives. It helps students to solve problems, learn to be rational as well as be critical in their thinking. However, science learning is deemed challenging as students see the subject as difficult and sometimes tedious to learn. Thus, interest in science is essential to ensure continuous learning in science. It is important to promote positive attitudes towards science among students. Positive attitudes towards science are associated with better achievement in science, increased cooperation as well as participation in class. Malaysia needs a generation who are creative and critical thinkers, thus it is vital to enhance students’ attitudes towards science. As students spend most of their time in a classroom, therefore, shaping students’ perceptions of science classroom environment is crucial in enhancing their attitudes towards science. This book is adapted and modified from a master’s degree thesis entitled: “Relationship between Form 4 Students’ Perceptions of Science Classroom Environment and Attitudes towards Science” of the first author. This book includes analysis of students’ perceptions of science classroom environment and attitudes towards science. This book attempts to answer questions regarding the level of students’ perceptions of science classroom environment, the level of students’ attitudes towards the effect of gender and school locations on students’ perceptions of science classroom environment and attitudes towards science, and the influence of perceptions of science classroom environment on students’ attitudes towards science. This book will be of interest to researchers in science education, especially, perceptions of science classroom environment and attitudes towards science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "environmental attitudes" reflect one's propensity ( of either favorable or unfavorable) towards a given environment cause in terms of beliefs or perceived status. Studies on environmental attitudes have gained numerous criticisms for not being theoretical exhaustive. Addressing that, this study systematically developed a comprehensive measurement model that addresses the multidimensionality of environmental attitudes. This study specifically assessed the validity and internal consistency of the proposed measurement model of environmental attitudes within the context of education for sustainability (EfS) using SEM-AMOS. This study also evaluated the utility ofthe proposed measurement model through the testing of measurement invariance [sic] across genders, nationalities, and courses among the undergraduates in Abu Dhabi. With respect to these specific objectives, this study successfully sampled 130 respondents using an online-based questionnaire survey. The instrument used in this study was adapted from the original items of Environmental Attitudes Inventory (EAI) (Milfont & Duckitt 2010), with the considerations on both preservation and utilization as the higher -order dimensions of environmental attitudes. Following the analysis, the obtained results revealed a refined seven-factor model of EAI with 21 items, in which both convergent validity and discriminant validity were validated. The environmental attitudes demonstrated multidimensionality hierarchically, as demonstrated by the obtained results of the first-order, second-order, and the third-order models. Besides that, this study also found that the undergraduates of science and technology courses, compared to the social science courses, demonstrated higher propensity to preserve the environment. Conclusively, this study systematically explored the horizontal and vertical structures of environmental attitudes in the development of the proposed measurement model to assess the environmental attitudes. Nonetheless, this study revealed that pro-environmental attitudes undergraduate students tend to be limited to certain group within the context of EfS, thus would incline to constrain the resolution of environmental problems. Thirdly, the confirmation of the relevance of human and perceived environmental threat according to culture -specific perspective in the formation and determination of environmental attitudes.

Download or read book The Effects of Problem-based Learning on Student Understanding of Advanced Placement® Environmental Science Topics written by Colleen Marie McDaniel and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often during second semester, I lose the attention of my students due to their preoccupation with being second semester seniors and with college acceptances. This project used student-centered, problem-based learning to regain their attention and make them more accountable for their learning in my AP ® Environmental Science course. I also looked at the affect it had on their study strategies, motivation, and metacognition in class, along with my own attitude about teaching. This project investigated the effect that problem-based learning had on understanding of AP ® Environmental Science topics when compared to a traditional teacher-centered lecture based unit. Students understanding of material was assessed using pre and postunit assessments, along with formative assessments, and concept map interviews. Other methods of data collection were used to understand changes in student's attitudes, study methods, and metacognition in all units. The attitude of students was determined through using attitude surveys and individual interviews. Student surveys along with interviews helped understand the changes in study habits and metacognition. Observations made throughout the units also supplied data to analyze these areas. Results indicated a mixed effect on each of the areas addressed. In the first treatment unit there was a positive trend, with improvement in attitude, attainment of knowledge of concepts, and metacognition, but in the second treatment the trend was opposite. The same observation can be made with my attitude toward teaching that in the first unit it was more positive while in the second unit it was more negative.
