QUESTION 1

Key Concepts in Environmental Education (20 marks)

1.1 Define environmental education as proposed by the IUCN. (4
marks)



The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) defines
environmental education as:

“A process of recognizing values and clarifying concepts in order to
develop skills and attitudes necessary to understand and appreciate the
interrelatedness among man, his culture, and his biophysical
surroundings. Environmental education also entails practice in
decision-making and self-formulation of a code of behavior about
issues concerning environmental quality.”

Key points:

 Focuses on understanding the relationship between humans,
culture, and nature.
 Encourages development of attitudes and skills for environmental
decision-making.
 Aims to promote responsible behavior toward the environment.

, 1.2 Explain the shift from nature studies to environmental education (4
marks)

The shift from traditional nature studies to modern environmental
education can be explained as follows:

 From Observation to Analysis:
o Nature Studies: Traditionally focused on the observation and
description of natural elements—such as plants, animals, and
landscapes—often with an emphasis on taxonomy and
natural history.
o Environmental Education: Moves beyond observation to
critically analyze the relationships between humans and
nature, emphasizing how human activities impact
ecosystems.
 From Passive Learning to Active Engagement:
o Nature Studies: Often involved passive learning where
students learned about nature through field trips and direct
observation without necessarily engaging in problem-solving.
o Environmental Education: Encourages active participation
and problem-solving. Learners are engaged in projects,
community activities, and research that address real-world
environmental challenges.
 Interdisciplinary Approach:
o Nature Studies: Traditionally rooted in the biological
sciences, with a focus on the natural world in isolation.
o Environmental Education: Adopts an interdisciplinary
approach by integrating social, economic, political, and
cultural dimensions. This helps learners understand the
complexity of environmental issues and promotes sustainable
development.
 Emphasis on Sustainability and Ethics:
o Nature Studies: Primarily aimed at appreciating natural
beauty and understanding biodiversity.
