Abstract

Teachers’ views on implementing environmental Education in a diverse classroom are examined in this study. Instructors from three schools explored Environmental Education as part of focus groups and interviews with students from various cultural backgrounds. According to the findings, environmental Education should only raise awareness and involve active participation. Constantly conflicting educational viewpoints and political agendas put instructors in perplexing situations, making it difficult to connect with students. As a result, teachers need to construct a curriculum that incorporates students’ cultural backgrounds.
