STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM-Previous research findings showed that knowledge, attitudes and awareness among students in Malaysia were at “good” level(Fadzilah 1999; Ruhaya 2001; Ramli 2003; Zurina dan Norjan 2003; Mohd Yusop et al. 2003; Ismail 2005; Seow Ta Wee & Nor Wariza Jufri 2004; Norjan et al. 2005 dan Norlila 2007).
-However, the results of the studies from the aspects of behavior dealing with environmental problems, were found that the level of involvement among students were “moderate” and low (Zurina & Norjan 2003; Mohd Yusop et al. 2003)

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM- The students have a good awareness about
environmental problems but awareness was not changed to a “more” practical (Azizan 2008).
- Individual involvement in the activities of environment protection was still in a “low” (Wahida et al. 2004).
- The final goal of environmental education was to form human behaviour (Hungerford & Volk 1990).

CONCLUSION• Intention was closed related to environmental
behaviour.• Therefore, other than to increase knowledge and
skills to protect environment, students should be given skill of awareness through psychological methods such as increasing student motivation, commitment and responsible attitudes towards the environment
• Teaching and learning also had to be more focus on the methods for field work such as issue investigation and case study research to solve environmental issues
![Page 15: ASERA 2010 SHOAL BAY: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AWARENESS AMONG STUDENTS](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062820/58ac58a91a28ab8e258b5a3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CONCLUSION• Teaching and learning approaches in environmental
education “in” and “to” more appropriate used at the university level because at the primary and secondary school, learning use more approach on “about” the environment.
• Assessment of learning achievement for the objectives of environmental education should be done systematically to improve teaching and learning methods in the future.
• The most important thing to improve the practices of environmental behaviour is to change in lifestyle of individuals themselves.
