Education and Human Resources: Retaining Future Human Resources’ Behaviours to Nature Through Environmental Education

Human beings face environmental problems. Consistent endeavors have to be done through shifting young generation’s ecological behaviours through environmental education as children’s environmental values and attitude might be affected by their surrounding society. The purpose of this study was to explore students’ knowledge, attitudes and actions towards environmental education of a school claiming as a–go-green school. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documents. We systematized our analysis and discussion around participants’ perspectives and contexts in which students’ knowledge and behavioural changes towards environmental lifestyles and strategies they faced occurred. The analysis of the data revealed that key themes related to development of caring schools and culture environment policy, development of activity based participatory, management and or development of school instruments, environmental education in schools, the ways of environmental education is integrated, and the effect of environmental education on knowledge and behavioural changes of students. Policy implications and future environmental education research are also discussed
