Paper Title
A Proposed Qualitative Study of using Inquiry-Based Teaching Practices for Environmental Sustainability Education with Pre-service Teachers
Abstract
Environmental education is always claimed to be placed at the centre stage of systemic efforts to achieve
sustainable development. It’s since the 1960’s; Canada has been one of the acknowledged leading nation to prioritize the
integration of environmental education into all levels of its educative efforts for sustainable development. Canada considers
environmental education in all areas of education and education levels, be it in primary, secondary, high school, adult
education, vocational education – and in formal and non-formal learning settings. However the nation recognizes that the
existing challenges and issues require more innovation and greater focus on the implementation of educative measures and
efficient daily actions to promote sustainable development. Therefore, this article focuses on using inquiry-based teaching
practices for environmental sustainable education in pre-service teachers.
Key words - Environmental sustainability, Inquiry-based teaching practices, Pre-service teachers
