Abstract

This study's purpose is to develop some environmental culture elements as well as (environmental knowledge and attitudes) through a program designed specifically for that purpose.
A checklist of the most important environmental issues is designed including what the one in charge of the educational instructor of physical sports should be aware of (sports couch) in Helwan General Club in addition to preparing a program for environmental culture.
A Scale of Measuring Environmental Culture is designed and presented to those couches. The researchers have used the experimental method, being applied on a group of those in charge of training (n=40) couches. The program is applied in the time duration from (15/7/2018 to 10/8/2018).  Moreover, a program knowledge and scale of environmental attitudes are administered on the study sample. The results indicate statistically significant differences exist between average scores of the study sample pre/post application of the cognitions test, pre/post application of the program, in favor of the post-application. Also, there are statistically significant differences exist between average scores of the study sample pre/post application of the scale of environmental attitudes of the study group, in favor of the post-application, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed program in developing environmental culture among physical education trainers.
