Abstract

Environmental education in values and ethics is essential for promoting sustainability. However, many citizens lack environmental awareness amid global ecological crises. To effectively teach students in universities about environmental values and ethics, efforts should focus on improving the quality and effectiveness of environmental education. This study employs a mixed-methods approach. A purposive sample of 48 university students was analysed. The results indicate that combining traditional teaching with technology significantly enhances awareness of environmental values and ethics, thereby increasing student engagement and potentially transforming the landscape of environmental education.
