摘要：The ever-rising environmental issues on industrial pollution and daily life activities are affecting our environment, and bringing negative implications globally. The Malaysian government has taken steps to overcome these problems through the implementation of 11th Malaysia Plan with focus to create green environment and sustainable nation. To do so, Malaysian government needs the cooperation and support from the society. An environmental caring society could only be established if the environmental caring habit is cultivated at early age. One of the methods is to nurture awareness on environmental friendly activities through early education. However, environmental education is still limited in the current syllabus of primary schools in Malaysia. The environmental-based contents are included in language textbooks, which with focus of educating the students on the languages and not on the importance of caring for the environment. Thus, teachers are experiencing insufficiency of appropriate teaching materials to deliver on environmental education. As one of the intervention and, to assist in teaching and learning of environmental education, a mobile based application incorporating basic environmental education topics has been developed. It is the first version of the prototype, �LOVE2GreenMY�, has been tested among Standard 4 primary schoolchildren from a few schools in Kuala Lumpur and Perak. The schoolchildren and teachers have provided positive feedbacks on the proposed solution, yet further improvements on the content and design will be carried out in the second version of the prototype. In the second version, greater scope of environmental topics and game-based activities will be included. LOVE2GreenMY aims to be the platform that educates environmental education, not only at schools but also at homes.
