Educational psychology is much researched in recent years to further understand the student-teachers’ behaviour in educational settings. While students’ motivation, good teachers and effective lessons remain crucial in the learning environment, recent complex issues such as constructivism, out-of-school influence and classroom diversity should be taken into context. The question here is: How do constructivism, out-of-school influence and student diversity influence recent learning environment?
Environmental education needs to be incorporated from a very early onset. After all, it is when we are young that we begin to form our world view and start to form many of our habits. And everyone knows that bad habits die hard!
Environmental education should be taught even to our youngest students. Even young children can begin to understand how their individual actions can affect the environment. Even young children can learn to take personal responsibility for the preservation and restoration of our environment.
