Abstract

Environmental education is crucial for constructing public awareness regarding environmental issues and realizing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Digital technology has enhanced connectivity between learners and the natural environment to create innovative digital learning tools. Therefore, the identified technology can be used to optimize the environmental education process. The methodology employed in this research is the literature review. The results demonstrated that augmented reality, virtual reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) based technologies enhance learners' comprehension and engagement with environmental issues in their immediate surroundings. However, specific challenges to the utilization of technology were identified, including disparate technology infrastructure, a shortage of resources for training, and the high costs associated with implementation. This study can serve as a reference point for future research efforts aimed at addressing barriers and facilitating more productive integration of environmental education across educational contexts.
