Abstract

Coaching can play an important role in facing environmental challenges through increasing human awareness and responsibility. In this research, the effect of two different coaching approaches on the environmental sensitivity of Mazandzan University students is investigated. At first, the students’ environmental sensitivity was measured, then the students were divided into two groups, and for each group, coaching courses related to environmental emergencies with two different problem-oriented and solution-oriented approaches were being implemented. After the completion of the coaching, the students’ environmental sensitivity was measured again and the difference in the effect of each approach was checked with a mean comparison test. Mazandaran province is facing many environmental challenges such as sea pollution, forest destruction, hunting of migratory birds.
