Abstract

In the face of a deteriorating and decomposing environment, Nigerians are faced with the challenge of ensuring a clean and sustainable environment. However, it has been discovered that the attitude of Nigerians towards the environment needs to be revisited; therefore, this study investigated how environmental values and values education implementation could bring about an attitude reorientation in young people like upper basic students. The research design used for the investigation was a descriptive survey, while the population is 80,234 upper basic 7-9 school students in Delta State, Nigeria. The sample size of students used as the respondents is 840; this sample was derived through a purposive sampling technique used to select 20 schools and a random sampling technique to select 42 students from each school. The data collection technique/instrument was a questionnaire carefully designed and structured by the researcher. The homogeneity test was used to establish the internal consistency of the instrument. The findings reported from the study predicated that environmental values and values education can be effective strategies for developing an attitude reorientation in young students. Secondly, they can also become necessary tools for instilling positive attitudes towards the environment in students. Therefore, the study recommended the teaching of environmental values, using values education as a medium for attitude reorientation towards the environment.
