Question

Environmental Education is not just awareness and knowledge, but it is also development of ................ .

The correct answer is

Proper attitude

Environmental Education (EE) aims to change how people behave towards the environment, not only what they know about it. The Tbilisi Declaration of 1977, the founding document of EE, lists its objectives as awareness, knowledge, attitudes, skills and participation.

Of these, attitude is the step that turns information into concern: EE seeks to develop values, a feeling of responsibility and a willingness to act for the protection and improvement of the environment. Without the proper attitude, awareness and knowledge do not translate into responsible behaviour. That is why EE is described as more than awareness and knowledge — it is also the development of a proper attitude.

Deeper knowledge, theoretic knowledge and proper concepts all belong to the cognitive domain, which the sentence has already covered under “knowledge”. They do not add the affective, value-based element that the sentence contrasts with mere awareness and knowledge.

Proper attitude option is correct.
