<p>The rising interest in environmental literacy and education for sustainability has created</p><p>expectations that timely, accurate content should be taught to the primary, secondary as well as</p><p>teacher education curriculum. The learning context should provide opportunities for students to</p><p>develop critical thinking skill, problem solving and values. Project-based learning approaches that</p><p>emphasize student learning may be a key to the successful development of good citizenship. The</p><p>purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a project-based learning on students'</p><p>environmental knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. As part of the course requirements students were</p><p>asked to develop a web-quest on climate change and to identify-suitable topics in the curriculum</p><p>for the integration of climate change. The topic on climate change was chosen since global climate</p><p>change is a challenging topic to teach and learn and the teaching is flawed through omission,</p><p>simplification and misrepresentation.
