Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

In present study research aimed to study the effectiveness of concept mapping in teaching Environmental Education. For the study, 71 M. Ed. Student teachers were selected from Jalgaon city. 'Randomised Control Group Pre-test Post-test Design' was used. The content sample 'Environmental Education and Pollution' was selected. It includes concept of environmental education, pollution, types of pollution, causes and effects of pollution. The achievement test of 40 marks was prepared on this content. Before teaching, the achievement test was administered to two randomly selected groups of M. Ed. Student teachers as pre-test. The experimental group was taught by using concept mapping strategy and controlled group was taught without using concept mapping strategy for two weeks the same content. For actual teaching to experimental group, concept map of each sub point was prepared.
