Abstract
This documentation is intended primarily for use by teachers at the upper secondary levels of the education system. In preparation for its development several Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) syllabuses were analysed, including those for biology, chemistry, physics, integrated science (single award), agriculture (single and double award), home economics, social studies, geography, history, art and craft and industrial arts. The analyses served to provide relevant content bases for suggestions for the infusion of environmental education (EE) into the curricula, and to indicate the areas of content which might be most usefully supplied in the text. The module is divided into six chapters: Chapter 1 attempts to deal with some philosophical and historical aspects of EE and to outline its aims and objectives; Chapter 2 discusses the basis for the approach to the implementation of EE; Chapter 3 addresses methodology; Chapter 4 addresses learning resources and evaluation of EE; Chapter 5 suggests several lesson exemplars across a variety of disciplines; and Chapter 6 discusses several environmental issues within a content framework. A list of regional resource bases and a glossary of environmental terms are also included.
