Answer 1

Answer:

$</p><p>Environmental education is a way to achieve the sustainable development and preserve nature. One of the aims of environmental education is to improve student's environmental attitudes because this is expected to improve pro-environmental behaviors. To change environmental attitudes is a challenge to educators and some proposals have being made in the last decades. The main objective of this work was to analyze the effectiveness of an environmental education program as a way of boosting the students’ environmental attitudes and knowledge. The sample consisted of 82 eighth and ninth grade students of a public elementary school located in Brazil, divided into two groups (participants and non-participants). Results indicated a shift in the participants’ environmental attitudes to a more pro-environmental way and an improvement in the students’ environmental knowledge, whereas non-participants did not change their attitudes and knowledge during the year. Finally, neither gender nor grade influenced the students’ environmental attitudes. Our results suggest that the participation in environmental education program guided activities can be effective to improve the students pro-environmental attitudes and knowledge.</p><p>$
