Abstract
All forms of life in this world needs a healthy environment in which all living things interact continuously. Extensive use of the natural resources by humans resulted in the depletion of the environment. Thus, it is essentials that humans are made aware and take responsibility of protecting the environment for the present and future generations. To achieve this, environmental education are essential to encourage and educate citizen so that they are aware and play an active part in protecting the environment by making informed decisions on any actions taken. Education is the means to impart and develop the appropriate knowledge, skills and values in order to understand what human’s activities and action have done to the environment. Thus, sensitivity towards issues of the environment will emerge or arise within individual and in turn will nurture responsible attitude on protecting the environment. The aim of this study is to develop a conceptual framework of Green Environment Awareness Module. Special features in this module are providing informative, educative and reliable information about the environment which incorporate the use of QR-Code for easy retrieval. Development of the module using the Modified Delphi Technique was carried out.
