Abstract

The importance of environmental education are well known globally among communities. In the meantime, Childhood importance of building environmental attitudes and environmental education in this period, a way to develop environmental attitudes in humans.

The study population was all children preschool Baharan in the academic year 2013-2014. The statistical sample of 30 students randomly into two groups (1 control and 1 control group) were selected. Data were collected by researcher-designed in three dimensions: knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the waste management), which is calculated after determining its validity and reliability (80/0) with a Pictures include the question asked by educators and children were questioned separately on the face. The first step before training as pre-test and post-test of the second stage after finishing training as examined. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics test. The results of the test demonstrate that the significant level of knowledge variable (sig = .038), attitude (sig = .000) and in favor of Waste Management (sig = .000) obtained from 05 / smaller as a result of the hypothesis that the effectiveness of environmental education to children in pre-school Rayanh‌Ay Bazy‌Hay confirmed in throughput. Due to the residual effects of computer games in education concepts can be extended to produce this category of games for environmental education and the benefits it used.
