Abstract
The emergence of global warming, depletion of natural resources, a growing population, and industrial advancements has led to environmental challenges. In response to these issues, the significance of sustainable practices and environmental education becomes apparent. Environmental education goes beyond imparting knowledge; it involves fostering the necessary attitudes, values, and skills in individuals. The effectiveness of environmental education is best realized through a combination of in-school and out-of-school programs that mutually support each other. Particularly for preschool and primary school children, engaging in nature-oriented games and providing firsthand experiences in natural settings is crucial. Through such activities, children develop positive emotions and learn to treat nature with sensitivity. In the process of environmental education, incorporating activities and methods that enhance an individual's interaction with the environment and foster creative and critical thinking skills is essential. Utilizing creative drama, a contemporary educational approach, is believed to be an effective means of integrating these skills and values into the learning process. This research delves into the exploration of environmental education, the incorporation of the creative drama method in education, and the significance of employing the creative drama method within the context of environmental education. The relevant literature has been scrutinized to gain insights into these aspects. Furthermore, this study also showcases an illustrative environmental education activity plan that utilizes the creative drama method as a central approach. This research investigates environmental education, explores the use of the creative drama method in education, and assesses the significance of employing this method in environmental education through a review of pertinent literature. Furthermore, the study includes a practical demonstration of an environmental education activity plan that utilizes the creative drama method.
