AB - This study aims to develop an environmental education program suitable for elementary school classes and assess its effectiveness. Therefore, we developed a subject-linked environmental education program using project-based learning. The environmental education program, named the “Earth Protection Project” comprises 20 sessions and is designed around four stages: “Getting Started(Introduction)”, “Choosing for the Earth”, “Making a Request for the Earth(Project-based learning)”, and “Finishing”. Following the implementation of this program in a fourth-grade class, changes in students' environmental literacy and capabilities were evaluated using quantitative and qualitative methods. The key research findings are summarized as follows: Pre- and post-test demonstrated a significant changes in elementary school students’ environmental literacy, with positive changes observed across all three sub-domains: environmental knowledge, sentiment, and practice. Qualitative analysis of learning outcomes revealed diverse changes in students’ environmental awareness, values and attitudes, practices, and capabilities. Students gained a deep understanding of environmental issues and concepts, leading to a willingness to take environmental action at personal as well as social levels. Project-based learning positively impacted the development of environmental competencies such as cooperation, community engagement, and interactive communication. These findings underscore the effectiveness of integrating environmental education into elementary school curricula through project-based learning. This study also discusses the broad implications and applicability of such programs, highlighting their potential to cultivate environmental awareness and action young learners.
