A list of some knowledge and skills for solving environmental problems has been prepared that are suitable for their development among the employees of the Central Agency for Organization and Administrator. Ten training sessions, and an environmental knowledge test consisting of (32) items has been designed, in addition to a scale of environmental problem-solving skills consisting of three axes. The first axis is the axis of defining the environmental problems and consists of (17) items. The second axis is the axis of organizing information and data which consists of (17) items and the third axis is a proposal axis for solutions to problems that consists of (17) items.
A Pre/application of the measurement tools was administered, then the training program was applied to an experimental group consisting of (32) male/female employees from the Central Agency for Organization and Administrator, and then a post-measurement tools were applied.
The results indicate a statistically significant difference exists between the average scores of the experimental group regarding the pre/post application on the Test of Environmental Knowledge, in favor of the post application at (0.01) significance level. There is also a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental group regarding the pre/post application of the scale of environmental problem-solving skills at (0.01) significance level.
