Abstract

Environmental ethics and values in education focus on equipping students with the necessary moral and ethical frameworks to understand and act upon environmental issues. This research investigates how embedding environmental ethics and values in education can shape students' perceptions, behaviors, and responsibilities towards sustainability. A sample of 200 secondary school students participated in a curriculum intervention designed to integrate environmental ethics into various subjects. Using a pre-test/post-test design, results indicate that exposure to environmental ethics significantly increased students’ pro-environmental behavior and ethical awareness. The study underscores the importance of values-driven environmental education as a tool for creating a more sustainable future.
