Projects on Environmental Issues for Enhancing Process Skills among Secondary School Students

We, human beings, are blessed with physical elements include plants, animals, microorganisms etc. Besides physical and biological elements, cultural elements also contribute in the making of our environment. Lack of stabilized environment is a serious problem affecting the current generation. Our education has the responsibility to make them conscious about environmental issues happening around them. Project based learning (PBL) is a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore real - world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge. Learning through projects based on environmental issues will lead the students to reach the appropriate solutions about what the environmental issues are they concerned with. For this they need to go through processes like problem solving, inferring, hypothesizing, generalizing, communicating etc. and result in developing process skills in them. It can provide opportunities for students to interact with environment. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Projects on environmental issues to enhance the level of process skills in science at secondary school level.
