Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to document an attempt to integrate Environmental Education concepts and skills in teaching rectangular coordinate system, linear equations in two variables and slope in Grade 8. Three methods are combined in this integration: interdisciplinary contextualization, inductive method of teaching and project based method to address the problems of low learner engagement and undesirable behavior towards environment. Results showed that there is no significant improvement in the learnersâ scores. However, the average ratings of their project are described as âÂÂgoodâÂÂ, âÂÂsatisfactoryâ and âÂÂvery satisfactoryâÂÂ. Furthermore, the learners perceived many aspects of the unit positively: the contextualized lessons, the project and the way of teaching. |
