Research Abstract |
This study empirically examined how geology and archeology, especially field observations of these disciplines contribute to environmental education. Thisobservation allowed the participants to review the relationship between environment and human beings with fresh perspective, and encouraged them to think about the future. Geology and archeology significantly contribute to environmental education in this respect. It seems to be quite all right to consider that because the participants are awakened to a sublime realization through this physical experience, they are able to imprint strong impressions firmly in their memories.
