| Summary: | This systematic literature review investigates how e-learning can enhance environmental literacy among primary school students. Environmental literacy is important because it helps young learners understand ecological issues and practice sustainable behaviours. However, traditional teaching methods often fail to engage students effectively in environmental topics. This review focuses on how digital learning tools and platforms can overcome these challenges. A thorough search of recent academic studies was conducted using trusted databases, such as Scopus, Web of Science, and ERIC. The research followed the PRISMA framework to ensure a structured and reliable process. From the databases, 32 relevant articles were selected for final analysis. After screening the databases, 32 relevant publications were chosen for in-depth analysis. The outcomes were then divided into three centrals themes: (1) E-learning and technology integration for environmental and STEM education, (2) Student engagement and learning effectiveness in online education, and (3) Approaches and challenges in distance learning. The reviewed studies indicated that e-learning tools had a positive impact on students’ environmental literacy. In particular, students using digital platforms demonstrated an average 25% improvement in knowledge retention and their ability to apply what they learnt. These results suggest that e-learning not only increases student motivation but also improves understanding of complex environmental concepts. Therefore, integrating technology in primary education is a promising step toward building a generation that is more aware and responsible toward the environment. |
