“…Human behaviour greatly impacts the environment. Environmental knowledge gained through education is positively and significantly important to preserve the environment (Azhar et al, 2015;Erdogan & Ozsoy, 2007;Sontay et al, 2015). Environmental education teaches students the importance of preserving the environment-it increases students' awareness, directs students, and shapes their attitudes toward preserving the environment (Hassan & Pudin, 2011;Mulyana, 2009;Özalemdar, 2021).…”

“…In an educational context, developing environmental literacy through school curricula is one way of addressing environmental issues in world education systems (Barraza, 2001;Craig & Allen, 2015;Erdogan et al, 2009;Innes et al, 2018;Gillian & Niranjan, 2019;Klakayan & Singseewo, 2016;Lee, 2000;Negev et al, 2008;Ross, 2007;Srbinovski et al, 2010;Sontay et al, 2015;Yucel-Ozata & Ozkan, 2014). Analyzing environmental literacy and citizenship in educational programs, curricula and textbooks have been a critical issue across many countries (Acuna, 2015;Carvalho et al, 2011;Cheng & So, 2015;Hart, 2002;Lieflander et al, 2015;Srbinovski, 2013).…”

All the countries have an effort in cultivating environmentally literate citizens since the governments and citizens are responsible to protect the environment. Turkey is one of these countries which integrated environmental education topics and objectives into the science curriculum. Different frameworks have been developed to assess individuals' views about, attitudes and behaviors towards the environment and address environmental issues. These frameworks mostly focus on environmental literacy, but they do not emphasize environmental citizenship. Assessment of the curriculum through the lens of a framework that grounds on both environmental literacy and citizenship is important and needed in order to cultivate environmentally literate citizens. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the extent to which the newly developed science curriculum provided the opportunity to constitute environmental literate citizenship at the 5th grade level. We benefited a coherent framework grounded by environmental literacy and environmental citizenship in our inquiry to analyze the curriculum. Included among the data collection sources were curriculum documents, objectives, and learning and assessment activities at the 5th grade level. The data analysis consisted of two steps: (i) analysis of the objectives and (ii) content analysis of the human and environment unit at the 5th grade science textbook within the context of environmental literate citizenship. Our findings indicated that the objectives under environmental citizenship required social action and these objectives were associated with critical environmental literacy. In conclusion, the content had the potentiality to help students develop critical viewpoints about environmental issues from critical environmental literacy and justiceoriented citizenship aspects and take social action to make a change in their environment.

“…Ada banyak faktor yang menyebabkan hal ini terjadi, salah satunya yakni kurangnya minat untuk mengetahui dan mempelajari masalah-masalah lingkungan. Sebagai tiang utama dalam pendidikan, sudah tentu bahwa guru menjadi contoh pertama yang ditiru oleh para peserta didik (Abu-Hola, 2011;Cunningham, 2008;Sontay, Gökdere, & Usta, 2015). Seorang guru harus memberikan stimulus dan contoh nyata kepada peserta didik dalam bersikap dan memecahkan permasalahan lingkungan.…”

This study examines the environmental literacy abilities of prospective Biology teacher students in the Biology Education Study Program, FKIP Sriwijaya University. The research subjects are Palembang and Indralaya class students who are teaching Human and Environmental Sciences Courses for the 2019/2020 academic year in Semester II. The skills measured in this study are Environmental Knowledge, Environmental Competence and Attitudes towards the environment formulated by the OECD and NAEE. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative, with research subjects totaling 75 students. The technique of collecting data is through interviews, and surveys using an instrument sheet consisting of 20 multiple choice questions, 20 essays and 20 attitude scales. The data analysis technique used the SPSS 18 program. The test instrument used was modified from the Middle Schools Environment Survey/Instrument (MSELS/I) test questions and adapted to the physical conditions and environmental problems in the city of Palembang. The results showed that the prospective Biology teacher students were in the medium category for the Environmental Knowledge and Competence aspect, and got the high category for Environmental Attitudes.
