Teaching and Learning of Environmental Education for Success

Effectiveness in the teaching and learning of Environmental Education since its introduction into the curriculum of Tanzania has been given less attention. Despite various initiatives done, yet, it has taken a project approach rather than of a classroom. Teachers do not get training in Teacher Education and therefore teach basing on their own exposure to EE issues. However, there has been little effort to develop teaching and learning materials suitable for utilization by teachers and learners. The author conducted a developmental study that aims to reduce challenges faced in the teaching and learning of Environmental Education, in particular primary schools. This book, therefore, provides exemplary teaching and learning materials on waste management that have been designed, developed and tested through various prototypes with consideration of subject matter knowledge, knowledge of context and pedagogical skills. Therefore, this book is the result of that study. The book provides knowledge to all educational stakeholders particularly in developing countries including Tanzania on how teaching and learning of Environmental Education can be enhanced for excellence.
