Theoretical significance of the research: According to the literature there are not many studies on examining the eficienteness of environmental education programs and their impact on its participants, especially in the Arab sector. This study has contributed to the understanding of the impact of EE programs, on the students’ EL (knowledge, attitudes, affect, behavior and skills)and on the environmental perceptions of the teachers and the students involved.

Practically, this research points to the significant role of teachers in EE and to the importance of supporting them in their EE efforts.
