A Research Study on the Process of Creation of Awareness and Sensitivity to the Total Environment

: Environmental Education is therefore the process of creation of awareness and sensitivity to the total environment, acquisition of knowledge, creation of appropriate attitudes and acquisition of skills for solving the environmental problems. The International conference recommended that "A basic aim of Environmental Education is to succeed in making individual and Communities understand the Complex nature of environment and to acquire the Knowledge values and attitudes which will help in the management of quality of environment.


Introduction:
The environment is becoming increasingly contaminated by our imagination.Most human activities Cause the environment to become contaminated.This will affect both the global and regional levels.Thinning of the ozone layer and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions are examples of global losses, while water pollution, Soil erosion is one of the few regional outcomes created by human activities and by them the environment is also affected.Environment education and awareness is comprehensive, continuing process, rooted in broad interdisciplinary base.Environment education is multifaceted and touches upon every aspect of life.It aims to assist individuals an understanding that people are inseparable parts of an environmental system and that whatever they do alter their surroundings in both harmful and beneficial ways.
Environmental Education is therefore the process of creation of awareness and sensitivity to the total environment acquisition of knowledge, creation of appropriate, attitudes and acquisition of skills for solving the environmental problems.The International Conference on Environ-mental Education was held at Tibilisi, U.S.SR. in 1977.The conference recommended that A basic aim of Environmental education is to succeed in making individual and communities understand the complex nature of environment and to acquire the knowledge values and attitudes which will help in the management of quality of environment.
The chief objective of environmental education is that individual and social groups should acquire awareness and knowledge, develop attitudes, Skills, abilities and participate in solving real life • Email: editor@ijfmr.com

Volume 6, Issue 1, January-February 2024 2 environmental problems.The most relevant to the subject is a chinese perception about education which says s you plan for one year, plant rice, if you plan for 100 years, plant trees, but if you plan for 100 years, educate the people." Therefore, our voice is essential for environmental education for environmental protection and management.It is a right step to teach people and society the best way to utilize present and future resources.Through environmental education, all people can give Knowledge of correcting the fundamental issues leading to local pollution.

Objectives of Environmental Education:
According to Tibilisi Conference following are the main objectives of EE :-1.Attitude.To help social groups and inviduals to acquire a set of values for environmental Protection.
2. Awareness-to acquire an awareness of the sensitivity towards total environment and its allied Problems.3. Participation -to provide an opportunity to be actively involved at all levels in the solution of environmental problems.(working towards) 4. Skills -to acquire various skills for identifying and solving environmental problems.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION:
• Environmental education must include effective and long-term strategies and plants to achieve environmental goals and sustainable development.• According to Tibilisi declaration, environmental education should be • To consider the environment in its totality (natural, artificial, social etc.) • To consider it a continuous life long process.from conception to death) • To emphasise active participation in prevention and solution to environmental problems • To focus on current, potential environmental issues.• To consider environmental issues from local, national, regional and international Drew point.• To promote the value and necessity of local, national and international cooperation in the prevention and solution of environmental problems.• To utilize diverse learning about environment and different approaches to teaching and learning about environment.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRAMMED LEARNING MATERIALS:
A genuine programmed learning material can be distinguished from other types of learning materials on the basis of following attributes.

Guaranteed Comprehensibility:
The programmed Learning materials not only promote effective learning but also ensure thorough understanding of the subject matter.

Tested Efficiency:
The fact that the programme will teach effectively is based upon the tests conducted upon the intended group of learners.

Skip-proof Feature:
The module material is so designed that learner has to go through each and every frame in order to attain the terminal goal.He cannot afford to skip over some of the frames in order to complete the entire learning sequence.• Email: editor@ijfmr.comIJFMR240113725 Volume 6, Issue 1, January-February 2024 3

Self-Correcting Feature:
The learner is able to get immediate Knowledge of results when he reads a particular programme frame.Is he responds correctly he gets the confirmation, if he responds incorrectly, he gets corrected by the programmer. 5. Automatic Encouragement: when the learner responds correctly, he gets reinforcement, while he is working on programmed learning material.
Diagnostic Feature: The programme helps the teacher to diagnose the learner's difficulties on a particular programme frame and on specific criterion test items.Thus, remedial instruction can be provided by the teacher by the construction of more simpler frames on the difficult concepts encountered by the learners while reading the programme or through the organization of remedial teaching sessions for ensuring.mastery learning.

Construction of Environmental Education Acquisition Test (EEAT):
The investigator developed EEAT in order to test the I acquisition of the students on its the topics related to + Environmental Education.Before development of the test, the investigator kept in mind Contents of the test, types of items to be included in the test and the objectives that are to be tested.120 Multiple Choice questions were Selected from the criterion tests already given to students, after learning through self-learning modules, The test items were arranged keeping in mind the axims of teaching.Easy items were given a place in the eeginning and defficult items were placed towards the end.The test was administered to 30 Students of homogene--neous sample.The Answer sheets were collected from the students and Scored as per the scoring key.The Scores of all the 30 students were arranged in descending order.The upper & answer sheets with highest scores were Selected and named as Higher Ability Group and lower 8 answer sheets with lowest scores constituted lower Ability group'.These 16 answer sheets were arranged writ.their scores on each question.In this way 20 items were deleted from the test, 10 from each ability group which were more simple and more difficult.Hence the final draft of the EEAT Constituted 100 test items.

Content outline of above-mentioned topics is given below (a) Environmental Pollution and Management
In the words of walter R. Borg "The literature in any field forms the foundation upon which all future work will be built without knowing the past we cannot do some--thing new in the field of research.If we want to do some new work in a Subject, It is very necessary to know past of that Subject.Survey of related literature is an essential pre-requisite to actual planning and execution of any research project.It helps the researcher in formulating various hypotheses and guides in respect of selection of problem, its statement definition and delimitation.The review of the related literature is of great significance for researcher, as it helps the investigator to Know about amount of work done in the Harmful Effects of deforestation on flora and Fauna • Email: editor@ijfmr.comIJFMR240113725Volume 6, Issue 1, January-February 2024 5Control measures of deforestation.
