Electronic Learning as an Entry Point for Promoting Environmental Awareness in Modern Curriculums

Abstract

Environmental education is considered a remedy and a preventive strategy at the same time, in encountering severe environmental problems, which we all face today, because it promote environmental awareness for future generations, and establish responsibility for actions towards protecting the environment and the planet, while caring for the life of all creatures, and human beings included. The results of some studies indicated that incorporating environmental education within several courses among the curriculum, achieved better results compared to specifying an independent course, because environmental education is an interdisciplinary area of study. It could be possible to compensate the limitation of resources in schools through adopting computer-aided instruction, which infra structure was well established during the period of COVID pandemic, by presenting documentary videos instead of long distance field trips, and also inviting environmental specialists through interactive media programs, and other recourses which computer and internet could provide. The research paper represents several approaches which could serve the environmental education area, and also a group of related recommendations.
