| Abstract: | Environmental education is " ... the educational process through which is imparted to its target groups the sensitivity, awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes, commitment for actions and ethical responsibilities for the rational use of the environment and its resources and for the protection and improvement of the environment for the present and futwe generations", (Schembri et al., 1989, p.29). Implementing environmental education in the Maltese educational system does not simply imply the inclusion of environmental topics in syllabi, but a radical rethinking of the way the whole curriculum is structured, implemented and evaluated. This explains why sound local environmental education curriculum initiatives have characteristically experienced implementation problems (Pace, 1997a). |
