Education and Environment: An Ecological and Psychological Perspective

Education and Environment: An Ecological and Psychological Perspective is an interdisciplinary work that examines the crucial interaction between educational systems and environmental surroundings. The book examines how educational settings impact human development, cognitive abilities, emotional health, and pro-environmental behaviour, grounded on ecological and psychology theories. Edited by Dr. Sunil Kumar and associates, this book compiles a varied assortment of studies investigating how sustainable education may tackle global issues such as climate change, biodiversity depletion, mental health, and urbanisation. The article centres on three primary themes: the ecological impact on education, the psychological aspects of learning within environmental settings, and the transformational capacity of environmental education. Principal subjects include ecological literacy, mental health within educational contexts, the use of geospatial technology for environmental consciousness, and the influence of physical learning environments on student performance. Contributors argue for the incorporation of sustainability into curriculum via case studies, policy analysis, and theoretical debate, while supporting experiential and transdisciplinary learning, and fostering the development of greener and more inclusive educational institutions. This book offers a progressive framework for academics, educators, and policymakers by integrating education with sustainable development and ecological stewardship, aiming to create resilient and ecologically responsible learners. It underscores the pressing need for a systemic transformation in education that fosters both human potential and ecological health.
