The Engagement of Activities promote the Environmental Sustainability Awareness: A Review of literature

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the engagement of the activities that enhance the environmental sustainability awareness by looking at literature review. It has been demonstrated within literature that the engagement of activities is significantly associated with environmental sustainability awareness but the types of activities and their effect towards environmental sustainability awareness is underexplored. The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development articulation approaches all countries to introduce environmental sustainability into the education systems in order to add to students' learning, to create an
environmentally sustainable future. According to many researchers, among the main activities highlighted in literatures are the participatory activities like experimental activities, workshop style public events, experiential real-world activities, role plays, debates, solving problems and discussions. By looking at the environmental sustainability scope learning experiences and resources can be categorized as mediums to influence the awareness of environmental sustainability. Apart from this justification, among other approaches, the potentials of these two components are yet to be optimized. In short, the critical discussion provided in this paper would help to strengthen the body of knowledge on environmental sustainability awareness. Findings from this review shed some lights on the potential of engagement of activities for the enhancement of environmental sustainability awareness. Also, the types of learning experiences and resources that engage the students to promote the environmental sustainability awareness.
