Abstract

A key distinction of the present-day school education in natural sciences is linked to a need of building the environmental literacy within the environmental protection competence in a systematic fashion in order to ensure sustainable development of the society. Pedagogical framework for environmental literacy building through natural science education was developed and experimentally verified. This framework integrates learning, playing, labor and social activities by the students aimed at environmental protection on the basis of a systematic activity-based approach; facilitation of research potential and reflexive nature of environmental protection project-based work by the students; development of a range of environmental protection assignments tailored to the age of students; launching collaborative methodological and educational efforts of teachers and educators in the establishments providing supplementary education. © 2018 Transilvanian Association for the Literarure and Culture of Romanian People (ASTRA).
