| Abstract | This paper describes a pre-service chemistry teacher in her senior year at the university, who attended an environmental education (EE) course, in which within a project assignment, she studied her peers’ and other college students' conceptions of the swamps in Israel. In her study she discovered that the students held naive conceptions about the swamps as filthyhazardous places that must be drained for improving the public health. A visit to the swamp, which included observations and investigation of its water quality, caused a conceptual change that allowed the students to understand the ecosystem better and to re-assess their pre-conceptions. The pre-service teacher, who was at the focus of this study challenged her own and her colleagues conceptions and used the conceptual change as a lever for her own professional growth as an environmental educator. Her project provides a better insight on pre-service environmental education experiences. The changes that the prospective teacher identified are discussed in the context of constructivist learning and teaching in EE, suggesting that pre-service training in EE must include actual outdoors learning experiences, which allow students to challenge previous knowledge and practice effective teaching methods.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
