| dc.description.abstract | Globally, the environment is under pressure from climatic variability and anthropogenic
activities including deforestation, wetland and water catchment destruction, agro-chemicals
use and urbanization among others. The foregoing partly results from inappropriate
information, ignorance, weak regulatory institutions and poverty, whose crosspollination
exacerbates the fragility of the environment, threatening flora and fauna. The purpose of this
study was therefore to investigate the need to establish the themes of environmental
education integrated in the school curriculum, establish the strategies used to teach themes of
environmental education in the school curriculum. This study adopted a descriptive survey
design. The findings of the study revealed that the themes on environmental education were
incorporated in the following subjects: geography, languages and religious education. The
strategies used to teach environmental education included; lecture, field trips, discussions and
guest speakers. It was therefore, concluded that the curriculum implementers should give more
emphasis on themes of environmental education as a method of enhancing good management
of the environment in Kenya. | en_US |
