|
Values and attitude towards the environment begin to form in elementary school.Thus, environmental education is effective to promote children¡¯s sensibility on the environment, to increase their interest and concern on it, and to make them have friendly attitudes towards it. As a measure of such education, experiential learning activities are being emphasized, where children can see, feel and experience for themselves in a familiar environment surrounding them. Based on the results of this research, the following proposals can be made for environmental education necessary for elementary school children. ¥¡) the contents of environmental education should be selected and organized according to grades. Also, schedule should be secured to provide environmental education in certain time. ¥¢) program should be developed to fit into local characteristics and academic level, providing connective and consistent environmental education. ¥£) activities for environmental education in elementary school can be effective only if connective guidances are provided among school, home and local community. ¥¤) the recycling and separate collection activity program used in this research was limited to 3rd graders in small-size rural schools. Additional research may be necessary to see how long their attitudes last according to different grades.
