STORYTELLING TO PROMOTE ECO-LITERACY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
Keywords:
Eco-Literacy, Storytelling, Early ChildhoodAbstract
The concept of storytelling in learning management and its use to promote eco-literacy among young children is widely recognized as an effective approach to early childhood development. Storytelling helps children understand the relationship between humans and the environment while fostering positive attitudes and environmentally responsible behaviors. Through engaging characters and relatable situations, children can connect emotionally with environmental issues in ways that are meaningful and appropriate to their developmental stage.
Moreover, storytelling enables complex environmental concepts to be simplified and presented in ways that young children can easily understand and apply in daily life. Its effectiveness depends on factors such as age-appropriate content, the teacher’s guidance, children’s active participation, and integration with various learning activities. These elements serve as important guidelines for teachers in designing meaningful and effective environmental learning experiences for young children.
