Geography plays a leading role in developing the objectives of environmental education. Through geography lessons pupils must learn about the major environmental and developmental problems (e.g. climatic change, deforestation, land degradation and desertification, depletion of natural resources, loss biodiversity, overpopulation, food security, drought, poverty, and urban decay) through issue-based learning.
They must be given opportunities to explore how these issues relate to their everyday lives and how they impact on the quality of the physical and social environment. Teachers must promote a holistic outlook, through promoting a multidimensional (e.g. social, political, historical, cultural, aesthetic) study of environment problems on a variety of scales. Environmental education enables students to understand how people modify, respond to, and conserve their environment.
This course is designed for prospective Geography majors as they prepare for teaching high and Secondary Geog
