The study aimed to analyze the knowledge, attitude, and behavioral components of environmental literacy of prospective teachers for quality education in District Lahore. The objective of this study was to assess the ecological literacy of future teachers in terms of the information, attitudes, and behaviors they possess. The methodology employed in this investigation was a quantitative one. A convenient selection sample of 325 graduate aspiring educators at Lahore's 13 public universities enrolled in teacher education programs was chosen. Two tools were employed in this investigation. The survey was broken up into two sections. Section A contains fundamental demographic information, while Section B is subdivided into Environmental Knowledge (EK), Environmental Attitudes (EA), and Environmental Behaviors (EB) categories, respectively. This study found that prospective educators have a moderate level of ecological literacy. The survey found that male prospective teachers were more literate than their female counterparts, but there was no discernible gender gap in environmental literacy. Future educators do have favorable perspectives and actions toward the environment. No significant gender differences in prospective teachers' attitudes or actions were discovered. It is suggested that colleges and universities that prepare future educators must include environmental studies.

“…However, these studies did not specifically examine the challenges that eighth-grade TE teachers encountered in schools, hence, the current study aims to address this gap in the literature. Moreover, Ho et al (2022) investigated situations and obstacles in EE within preschool teacher training programs in Vietnam. Cyprian's (2022) research sought to analyze EE awareness and implementation in Tanzanian secondary schools.…”

“…Teaching students about, in, and for the environment needs to include learning both indoors and outdoors. Field trips can enable students and teachers to explore theoretical learning in the real world through practice; however, due to a lack of finances, TE teachers are rarely able to plan any sort of environmental field trips (Ho et al 2022;Moeletsi, 2022;Ruthanam et al, 2021). Lack of support from schools as well as the South African Government's Department of Basic Education also contributes to the reality of the lack of field trips and resources.…”

Background/purpose -Technology education (TE) offers hands-on activities through a design process to be an environmentally-oriented subject. TE can be used to reduce littering, an environmental problem that also has health implications for modern-day society. This research study sought to explore the challenges that impede TE teachers in delivering lessons to raise students' awareness of littering through the application of the participatory paradigm. Materials/methods -TE teachers of Grade 8 students were selected using purposive sampling in this qualitative participatory action research (PAR) study. The use of PAR was chosen in order to develop relevant action research-based methods of intervention that can be implemented to address gaps in the literature. Chaos theory was used to ground the study. Interviews were used to generate data from the study participants, which were then analyzed using the content/textual analysis method. Results -The study identified issues, challenges, and obstacles that impede TE teachers from delivering lessons that raise students' awareness about littering. Lack of understanding environmental education and subject relevancy were found to be some of the major challenges facing TE teachers in conscientizing students about littering. Conclusion -The author concludes that TE teachers need to be equipped with environmental pedagogies through inservice training in order that they can incorporate littering issues into their lessons.

“…Some educators also believe that a radical solution to the current environmental crisis requires a significant change in human attitudes toward the environment. Some even believe that the environmental revolution we need is a revolution in attitudes (Tran Ho, Lepage, & Fang, 2022).…”

“…Tran Ho et al (2022) examined the environmental education (EE) component of the preschool teacher training programs at six universities in Vietnam, allowing researchers to determine the difficulties associated with integrating EE into these curricula. To gather the qualitative information required for this research, 18 students in their last year of undergraduate studies enrolled in these institutions' preschool teacher training programs were interviewed.…”

The study aimed to identify the level of environmental orientation for the Art Education Teacher Preparation Program at Sultan Qaboos University from the point of view of student teachers participating in the program. To accomplish the objectives of the research, an analytical descriptive method was used, and a questionnaire prepared for this purpose was distributed to a sample of ( 106) male and female students, representing 50.2% of the total population of the study. The results showed that the student teachers' estimates of the level of environmental orientation of the program as a whole were (moderate), with an arithmetic mean (2.9/4.00). Concerning the dimension of teachers' practices of environmental orientation during teaching, it was (high). In contrast, the level of environmental orientation for the course content was (moderate) with a mean of (2.73/4.00). The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the estimates of student teachers for the level of environmental orientation on any of the two dimensions due to the variables (gender, cumulative degree).
