Abstract

This postgraduate thesis shows how to plan, create, and use a digital educational course called "Development of Ecological Awareness through Digital Art Expression for Sixth-Grade Students" that is available on Google Classroom. The goal of the course is to raise environmental awareness among primary school students by combining environmental education with creative digital expression. The course is made up of four micro-lessons that are structured as an asynchronous, self-paced learning experience. Each micro-lesson focuses on a different set of learning outcomes, such as ecological knowledge, artistic creativity, digital literacy, and introspective skills. The instructional design is based on modern teaching methods and purposefully overcomes limitations like the lack of real-time interaction by encouraging each learner to be independent through scaffolded multimedia activities. The course uses a number of digital technologies, including Google Docs, Slides, Forms, YouTube, Padlet, H5P content, and others, to help with multimodal content delivery, creative production, and formative assessment. The implementation of the course highlighted important practical aspects, such as the proper organization of the Google Classroom environment, the creation of content that is both user-friendly and engaging for students, and the need for continuous monitoring of their progress. The course's modular structure strikes a balance between learning about pollution, protecting the environment, and being sustainable , and doing hands-on creative projects like making art out of natural materials (Land Art), communicating stories digitally, creating Infographics, and others. The course evaluation shows that asynchronous digital classes in primary school could help raise awareness about the environment while also teaching important 21st-century skills. The lack of access to technology and the lack of collaboration with peers show areas where improvements can be made in the future. Recommendations for study stress the need to look at hybrid models that include synchronous connection and new digital technologies that can boost engagement. In conclusion, the interdisciplinary approach of the course, which combines environmental education with art, renders it particularly significant as it offers a holistic learning experience.
