The purpose of this research was to study the level of environmental conservation awareness and the relationship between factors affecting the awareness of environmental conservation of undergraduate students. To study and compare factors affecting environmental conservation awareness among undergraduate students of different genders and academic…

Community gardens offer valuable educational and social benefits, contributing to enhanced environmental learning and community building. To expand these opportunities and support community gardens' objectives, we emphasize the necessity of establishing specific structures that facilitate gardeners' practices. Investigating a Korean community as a…

According to UNESCO, education for sustainable development (ESD) is characterized by the concern for training the skills necessary for a human individual to relate responsibly to the natural, economic and socio-cultural environment in which he lives, minimizing or completely avoiding the negative effects of actions on the quality of his life and…

Nearly 80% of the total American population lives within the urban sprawl, where rapid urbanization has contributed to an immense reduction of green space. Loss of woods, fields, and other green areas, in conjunction with adolescent preference for indoor and screen-based activities, has led to decreased time spent outdoors. However, studies show…

For a sustainable environment, raising future generations as environmentally literate individuals is vital, and this responsibility falls on the shoulders of teachers. Because the construction of future generations is the duty of teachers, to carry out this responsibility, teachers and pre-service teachers, from education faculties to the schools…

A challenge for using evaluation data to improve climate change education in schools is access to an instrument for teachers to measure behavioral changes and their antecedents. We report on teachers' implementation of a brief survey measuring climate-related beliefs, self-efficacy, intention to act, action, and anxiety before and after their…

Young people and educators in the UK have called for changes in the education system to better prepare learners for a future shaped by climate change and our collective response to the climate crisis. This research explored both reported climate education practices and future outlooks through a questionnaire completed by 16-18-year-old secondary…

Background: The ongoing transformation of the interplay between human beings and nature calls for new ways of learning. Although established educational practices merging sciences and arts have been studied before, the focus has been mainly on science or technology-discipline-orientated aspects. More research is needed on the characteristics of…

Microplastics have been detected in most ecosystems around the world. They affect the environment and organisms in it, including humans and possibly their health. Hence, the analysis of microplastic occurrence in the environment is highly relevant. However, there are only a few practical and easy-to-implement methods published for school use, and…

Collaborative teamwork is fundamental to successful research and is a desirable skill set for employers. Yet students receive little training in how to effectively work in teams. This article presents the preliminary design and implementation of course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in biology, geology, and environmental…

Historically, high levels of self-reported stress, anxiety, and depression are quite common among STEM students. Unfortunately, after multiple semesters of disrupted education due to COVID-19, these mental struggles among students, especially first-year (freshmen) undergraduate engineering students, have only been exacerbated. To mitigate these…

This research aimed to develop science teaching media in the form of learning applications that use the help of iSpring Suite. The development of ecosystem material science learning applications is made to maximize the use of smartphones owned by students and reduce the various negative impacts of using Android in learning. The Research and…

This paper examines teachers' adaptive approaches with regard to Environmental Studies (EVS) within primary classrooms of government schools located in suburban Mumbai in India.
