Abstract

The study aimed at building a proposed educational program based on environmental citizenship, measuring its effectiveness in the development of values and skills associated with them, and measuring the correlation and predictive reliability between the amount of growth in environmental citizenship values and skills among 30 female third-grade students. The study followed a semi-experimental approach - one-group design. The study data were collected using two tools: attitude selection for environmental citizenship values, and observation card for environmental citizenship skills. The results of the study revealed significant differences at the level of significance (ɑ 0.01) between the average scores of the study group in the tribal and dimensional applications of the two variables adopted in the test of attitudes to environmental citizenship values, and in the class observation card of environmental citizenship skills in favor of the dimensional application. The results also revealed a high impact of the proposed educational program in the sample, with the impact factor of the two approved variables (8.22 - 3.12) respectively. Black's adjusted earnings ratio for the two approved variables was (1.380 - 1.238), respectively, indicating a high effectiveness of the two variants based on the proposed tutorial. The results showed a strong positive correlation at the semantic level (ɑ 0.01) between the two approved variables for both environmental citizenship values and environmental citizenship skills in the sample, where the correlation coefficient for the two approved variables (0.662). The results also showed a linear predictive dependence relationship for a value b reached (.724,.831) respectively at the semantic level (ɑ 0.01) between the two variables adopted for the values and skills of environmental citizenship in raising each other to the level of each other.
