Abstract

This article explores the integration of Environmental Education (EE) with Social Studies (SS) to create a comprehensive interdisciplinary framework aimed at enhancing students' understanding of environmental issues within a social context. By combining the principles of EE and SS, this framework seeks to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students, preparing them to address complex environmental challenges. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including curriculum analysis and classroom implementation, to evaluate the effectiveness of interdisciplinary teaching strategies. The findings highlight the benefits of this integration, such as increased student engagement and improved academic outcomes, while also identifying challenges and providing recommendations for educators.
