“…Given that EE deals with a multitude of subjects, educational systems across the world implement it differently and put emphasis on different issues. For example, in Turkey, Australia, Singapore, Ireland, and Canada, students are taught subjects related to biodiversity, pollution, man-made environment, and ecology (Derman & Gurbuz, 2018). Although within the European Union EE is compulsory, the member states follow different approaches.…”

The study presents the results of a project in which 360 o videos were used for informing students about subjects related to environmental education. The target group was forty-four, nine-to ten-year-old students, who used three teaching tools, namely printed material, web pages, and 360o videos. The project lasted for twelve two-teaching-hour sessions (four for each tool), and data were collected by means of evaluation sheets and a questionnaire for recording their views and attitudes. It was found that the 360o videos yielded better learning outcomes compared to the other tools. The sense of presence was also greater in this tool. Then again, all tools were considered as equally motivating and effective. Moreover, the 360o videos were considered more enjoyable and easier to use only when compared to the printed material. Though the findings confirmed that 360 o videos can be effective in raising students' awareness of environmental problems, they also point to the need of finding innovative methods and teaching frameworks that would allow educators to fully exploit their educational potential.

Environmental problems need to be solved by students' HOTS abilities. This research aimed to develop environmental learning student's worksheet of air pollution (eswopol) based on Higher Order Thinking Skills Assessment based on Environmental Problems (HOTS-AEP). The research method used research and development that modified from Borg and Gall model. The study was conducted in December 2019 until January 2020. The research instrument used the interview transcript and validation questionnaire. The research data obtained in the form of an average score of validation results. The data analysis technique used is descriptive. The results showed that the environmental learning student's worksheet of air pollution (eswopol) based on HOTS-AEP was declared valid with an average validation score of 3.55 (very valid category). The conclusion of this research is eswopol based on HOTS-AEP is appropriate for use in a learning environment.Permasalahan lingkungan perlu dipecahkan dengan kemampuan HOTS siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan environmental learning student's worksheet of air pollution (eswopol) berbasis Higher Order Thinking Skills Assessment based on Environmental Problem (HOTS-AEP). Metode penelitian yang digunakan, yaitu penelitian dan pengembangan yang mengadaptasi model Borg and Gall. Penelitian dilaksanakan Desember 2019 s.d Januari 2020. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan, yaitu transkrip wawancara dan angket validasi. Data penelitian yang diperoleh berupa skor rata-rata hasil validasi. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan berupa deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa environmental learning student's worksheet of air pollution (eswopol) berbasis HOTS-AEP dinyatakan valid dengan skor rata-rata validasi 3.55 (kategori sangat valid). Simpulan penelitian ini yaitu eswopol berbasis HOTS-AEP layak digunakan dalam pembelajaran lingkungan.

The current investigation was directed to analyze environmental education and practices in curriculum adopted in Pakistan, Turkey, and Canada at the primary level. For this purpose, General Science textbooks of the public schools in Ontario (Canada), Istanbul (Turkey), and Rawalpindi (Pakistan) were explored and their practical implementation was studied as primary data for the year 2008-2015. A close content analysis of the inscribed curriculum revealed that over time, Canada has taken significant steps to incorporate the elements of environmental awareness as their curricula and trained the teachers to deal effectively with environmental education, leading to creating awareness in problems and their solution among children regarding concepts of waste management, littering and sustainability. Topics related to awareness about reducing, recycle, reuse, and ecosystems were a vital part of the environmental curriculum and practices in Turkey. Exploring climate change and the environment was found to be part of the Science curriculum in Pakistan. However, the practical activities regarding environmental education were relatively less in Pakistan as the implementation of the curriculum is not in its mature stages. Comparison of the study reveals that incorporating environmental projects benefitting from national and international organizations in Pakistan would help as they have contributed constructively in creating awareness in the education sector in Turkey and Canada.
