Abstract

       The current research aims to investigate the impact of an interactive electronic program based on the green economy trends for developing cognitive structure, cognitive flexibility, and environmental citizenship among pre-service science teachers at the Faculty of Education, Helwan University. Both descriptive-analytical and quasi-experimental methods are used, with control and experimental groups, and pre- and post-tests to measure the effect of the proposed program. The measurement tools include: cognitive structure test, Word Association Test (WAT), cognitive structure scale, and environmental citizenship scale. The research is conducted on a group of 60 pre-service science teachers from the second level, divided equally among science classes. Data are collected and statistically analyzed. The research yields several results, including that the E-program based on the green economy trends has an impact on the development of cognitive structure, cognitive flexibility, and environmental citizenship among pre-service science teachers. Based on these results, the research makes several recommendations, including the necessity of including green economy concepts in the preparation programs for science teachers, as it contributes to improving their future professional performance.
