Abstract: ABSTRACT The purposes of this study are to explore the frequency and perception of teachers in using environmental teaching kits in teaching the new S1 to S3 geography syllabus in Hong Kong. It is hoped to find out and construct the suitable teaching kits in helping students to develop and access to the concepts of environmental education. This study involved two modes of educational research. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to gather teachers' ideas and opinions of using environmental teaching kits. Major data collection methods including questionnaire and interview were adopted. 179 questionnaires were sent to the geography panel-head in the target schools to collect teachers' perceptions on the usage of different sets of environmental teaching kits produced by Government Departments and non-government organizations (NGOs) in Hong Kong. Besides, four individual interviews were held with four geography panel-heads from the selected target groups to provide supplementary in-depth data to illuminate further teachers' opinions in using various environmental teaching kits. The findings showed the use of environmental teaching kits were not the common teaching tool at school in Hong Kong when teaching the new S1 to S3 geography syllabus. Many teachers still preferred to put focus on textbooks in the development of students' knowledge rather than using environmental teaching kits to develop relevant skills, values and attitudes. This deep rooted concept reflected that teachers' consideration was on education about rather than in and for the environment. Some recommendations are provided that workshops and in-service training courses should be held to promote the usage of environmental teaching kits and to teach the curriculum skill of tailor-making the kits to suit school based teaching context. Besides, all teaching materials should be kept in library or teachers' resources centre to increase the frequency of use. Moreover, the development of future environmental teaching kits are suggested to include more current events to help students to get familiarized with the concept of environmental education more easily.
