Implementing Environmental Education In Preschools:\r\nA Systematic Literature Review

Sustainable development means meeting current needs without destroying future potentials. Since the
introduction of environmental education, people have become more aware of the consequences of their
actions and possible prevention and solutions. Based on the review of 7 papers that studied environmental
education in preschools, focusing on methodology, teacher training, and government policy. The main
objectives are to identify implementation problems of environmental education and suggest better ways of
teaching and implementing environmental education. NVivo software was used to analyze emerging themes
in the selected research papers that focus on environmental education in preschools, using thematic analysis
to analyse the data. As a result, several themes concerning preschool stakeholders, training, curriculum, and
policy were identified. The main result showed that few preschools that implemented environmental
education with the government's support, a nature-based curriculum, and trained teachers had a more
favourable impact on the environmental awareness of both teachers and children. This has led to developing
of a Pro-Environmental Behavioural framework for Environmental Education in Preschools.
