| Summary: | Aims: The aim of the current study is to identify the effectiveness of employing green learning to develop environmental awareness and evaluative thinking among second intermediate students in the social studies subject. Methodology: The experimental approach was adopted. The sample of the current study consisted of (50) students distributed equally between the experimental and control groups. The first group (Experimental Group) studied by the method of green education, while the control group studied using the traditional method. A scale of environmental awareness was prepared consisting of 39 items, and a test of evaluative thinking consisting of 18 items. Both scales were verified for validity, reliability and other psychometric properties. Results: After analyzing the data, the results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the scale of environmental awareness and evaluative thinking. The results also showed that there were statistical significant differences between the pre- and post-tests of environmental awareness and the test of evaluative thinking in favor of the post-test. Conclusions: In the light of the results, the researcher set several recommendations, including: employing green education and sustainable development in geography books at different educational levels due to their great importance in preparing students and developing their positive attitudes towards the environment. Furthermore, training geography teachers on aspects related to green education and developing environmental awareness due to its importance in preparing environmentally aware generations. |
