Question 5

5.1 learners should not mainly focus about learning

about the environment only but to also focus and
learn about environmental education.

5.2 holistic approach to learning in environmental

education is important and need to be taken into action.
Environmental learning is all about knowledge. It is
required that you need to have knowledge so you can
study better and find solutions to the environmental
problems.
5.3 learners need to be taught and told about the
responsibility of keeping the environment clean at a
young age. Learners have a different way of grasping
information at certain ages and different characteristics.
Some learners prefer to learning when they are listening
to an audio (auditory learners). Some prefer verbal
learning and other learning through moving or touching
stuff. More practical.
