1. INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME
Dear Student
A hearty welcome to this module that deals with Environmental Education in formal education. I
think by now all citizens are aware of the severe environmental challenges facing us, of which
global warming, acid mine water drainage and many types of pollution are just a few. We
believe that the only way to counter this is to infuse school children with positive attitudes
towards the environment and to empower them with the knowledge and skills to live
sustainably. The best place to ensure that this happens is in the school setting and the people
that are in the best position to achieve this are teachers. It is our aim to prepare you to become
an informed and enthusiastic environmental educator who can inspire children to be aware of
the many environmental issues and to do something about them.
Distance education has its challenges, but at Unisa we endeavour to overcome this by allowing
you contact with the lecturers by telephone, fax, e-mail, discussion forums and even personal
visits when possible. You are therefore invited to direct any academic queries to the lecturer of
this course. It is our ardent wish that you will find this course interesting and rewarding and that
you will become a champion for the environment.
This tutorial letter (101) contains important information about the scheme of work, resources
and assignments for this module. The actual assignments, assessment standards, instructions
for the completion and submission of assignments, the prescribed study material and all other
resources form part of this tutorial letter. It also contains certain general and administrative
information about this module. Read it carefully and keep it at hand when working through the
study material, doing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions
to your lecturers.
Please read Tutorial Letter 301 in combination with this tutorial letter as it contains valuable
information and guidelines for studying at a distance in the College of Education.
You must please read all tutorial letters you receive during the course of the year
immediately and carefully, as they always contain important, and sometimes, urgent
information.
We sincerely hope that you will enjoy studying this module and wish you all the best.
2. PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES
The purpose of this module is to ensure that you are able to integrate environmental education
into your teaching subjects, and thereby creating caring attitudes towards the environment
amongst your learners.
On completion of this module you should therefore be able to integrate environmental
education into lesson plans, learning activities and assessment activities in your teaching
subjects in such a way that you empower learners to change their attitudes towards the
environment and enable them to live sustainable lives.
