ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: INCORPORATING ECO-LITERACY INTO THE CURRICULUM

Abstract

Environmental education facilitates the implementation of sustainable development through admittance of eco-literacy into education systems. This abstract is focused on the implications of integrating and adapting eco-literacy into education systems to support students’ development of environmentally conscious outlooks. Thus, eco-literacy as knowledge in ecological principles and the skills in their application to relevant problems serves as a appropriate knowledge base for learners. It means that with the inclusion of eco-literacy into the curriculum of educational institutions, the latter will be able to produce environmentally literate individuals competent in the ability to make decisions in favor of the conservation of the planet. This abstract describes several methods and models of how to implement an integration of eco-literacy for different grade levels and makes a stress on interdisciplinary, practical experiences, and community participation. It also covers positive aspects of eco-literacy for instance, inclusion of aspects like sustainable use of resources, environmental awareness as well as the ability to think critically on environmental matters. Moreover, the abstract of the article describes the ways teachers are involved in the formation of their students’ eco-literacy, including the guidance as well as offering the necessary tools and contexts for reflection on the students’ personal carbon footprint. Lastly, by integrating eco-literacy into educational systems, the institutions play a critical role of fostering a sustainable future through instilling in learners the understanding of and attitude towards environmental conservation and Sustainable Development.
