Rationale of the Study

Figures like concept maps or flowcharts can effectively depict the existing body of research and highlight
the specific knowledge gap your study aims

the rationale behind investigating the effectiveness of ethical dilemma narratives in enhancing nature
literacy stems from a thorough understanding of the gaps in current environmental education research.
Here's a breakdown of why this study is important

Gaps in Environmental Education:

Geographicak gap: The Philippines' national environmental education framework faces geographical
inconsistencies, calling for innovative approaches to ensure consistent program delivery across all
regions (DepEd, 2017).

Limited Scope: Traditional environmental education practices often lack interdisciplinary elements. This
study explores integrating ethics and storytelling (ethical dilemma narratives) to enrich student
understanding of environmental issues (Jorde et al., 2019).

Finally, bridging the practical gap between classroom learning and real-world application is essential for
fostering active citizenship and stewardship. Research on the effectiveness of ethical dilemma narratives
can contribute to closing this gap by empowering learners to apply their knowledge and skills to address
environmental challenges in their communities. Therefore, investigating the effectivity of ethical
dilemma stories in increasing nature literacy is not only warranted but also imperative or vital for
advancing environmental education and fostering a more sustainable future.

By incorporating ethical dilemmas, this research aims to strengthen the theoretical foundation of
environmental education. This approach broadens student perspectives and encourages critical thinking
about environmental issues.

Bridging the Gap Between Learning and Action: significance of the Study

Environmental education often struggles to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world
application. This research explores whether ethical dilemma narratives can empower students to apply
their knowledge and skills to address environmental challenges within their communities.

It can be hard to connect what you learned in class to what you actually do in your daily life.
That's the gap environmental education often struggles with. School teaches us important things about
protecting the environment, but sometimes it's hard to see how those things apply in our everyday lives.
Here are some reasons why:

Learning can be far removed from real situations: Maybe you learn about pollution in a textbook, but
you don't see a polluted river near your house.

In conclusion, investigating the effectiveness of ethical dilemma narratives in enhancing nature literacy
is not only justified but crucial for advancing environmental education. By addressing these research
gaps, this study paves the way for a more comprehensive and impactful environmental education
approach, ultimately fostering a more sustainable future.

Justification for Match-Pairing in the Quasi-Experimental Phase:

To ensure comparability between the experimental and control groups, the researchers employed
match-pairing. This technique pairs students based on a predetermined variable, such as prior science
grades, minimizing the influence of extraneous factors and enhancing the study's internal validity
(Trochim & Donnelly, 2008).

profound learnings

nature literacy envi ronmental education

encompasses knowledge of ecological principles, proficiency in interpreting environmental data, and the
capacity to make informed decisions concerning environmental issues (Soga &Gaston, 2016)

Environmental education encompasses a wider range of topics related to the environment, including:

Ecological processes and systems

Pollution and environmental challenges

Sustainability practices

Environmental policies

The Power of Mixed Methods

The study employs a robust explanatory mixed-methods framework. This design combines quantitative
data (nature literacy scores) with qualitative data (reflective journals, classroom observations). This
comprehensive approach provides a richer understanding of the intervention's impact, not just on
knowledge acquisition but also on the development of environmental values and behaviors.

The Importance of the Findings


The findings of this research are significant for several reasons:

Evidence-Based Approach: The study contributes to a limited body of research on the effectiveness of
ethical dilemma narratives in fostering environmental responsibility. By providing empirical evidence, it
strengthens the argument for utilizing this approach in EE programs.

Enhanced Pedagogical Strategies: This research paves the way for the development of more engaging
and effective pedagogical strategies for environmental education. By integrating ethical dilemmas,
educators can cultivate a generation of environmentally responsible students equipped to address
contemporary ecological challenges.

Informing Policy and Practice: The findings can inform future policy decisions and curriculum
development within the Philippine educational system. Integrating ethical dilemma narratives into EE
programs can contribute to a more comprehensive and impactful environmental education experience
for students.

Conclusion

"Stories to Shape Stewards" holds considerable significance in the field of environmental education. By
investigating the effectiveness of ethical dilemma narratives, the study offers a promising new approach
to cultivate environmental responsibility and nature literacy among students. This research contributes
to the ongoing conversation on innovative pedagogical methods, ultimately aiming to empower future
generations to become stewards of the environment.

Test for significant Difference

Furthermore, the findings also support the notion that educational interventions, such as the one
employed in this study, play a vital role in shaping students' environmental responsibility behavior. By
enhancing nature literacy, students may develop a greater appreciation for the natural world and a
heightened sense of responsibility towards environmental conservation efforts (Robinson, 2019)

we recognize the importance of continued reinforcement and integration of environmental education


into the classes. By nurturing a culture of sustainability within the school community, we aim to
empower all students to become proactive agents of positive change in their local and environments.

post posttest

the addition of the post-posttest serves as an indicator of potential learning latency and assimilation
among students. The experimental group's higher mean score implies a greater enduring understanding
of environmental concepts, aligning with Ausubel's assimilation theory and meaningful learning.
According to Ausubel, meaningful learning occurs when new information is assimilated into existing
cognitive structures, fostering the development of enduring understandings that transcend classroom
contexts (Ivie, 2003). This suggests that the intervention may have facilitated the development of new
cognitive structures, enabling students to integrate and retain environmental knowledge more
effectively. These insights underscore the transformative potential of narrative-based interventions in
promoting enduring understanding and meaningful learning experiences among students.

Importance

By engaging students in discussions and experiential learning opportunities, we can cultivate a


generation of environmentally conscious individuals who value and prioritize the preservation of
biodiversity and the welfare of all living beings.

Learnings

Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, cultivate collaborative relationships, innovate in


teaching practices, and above all, let passion and dedication guide your path toward shaping the minds
of tomorrow's leaders. For it is through these efforts that we can truly make a difference in the lives of
our students and the broader community.

Ethical Dilemma

Engaging with narratives can foster a deeper connection with nature and its complexities (Soga &
Gaston, 2016).
