The purpose of this applied research was to investigate the effect of flipped classroom education on the water literacy of third-grade elementary students. This research is a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and the statistical population included third-grade students of one of the girls' schools in Khomein in the academic year 2021-2022. In order to select the sample of this study, 60 students were selected by the available sampling method and randomly divided into 2 groups (one experimental group and one control group) of 30 people. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire on water literacy, the reliability of which was evaluated by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and its content validity was evaluated by Lavache method. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that flipped classroom education had a positive and significant effect on water literacy of third-grade elementary students and its cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral dimensions (at the level of 0.01). Based on the findings, it was concluded that flipped classroom can be one of the effective approaches to education to improve students' water literacy.

The purpose of this study was to assess the achievement of educational objectives for management of the crisis (environment) in the earthquake-stricken area of Kermanshah province. The research method of this paper is a survey, and the statistical population is the citizens living in SarPol-e-Zahab, the NGOs involved in the Kermanshah earthquake and environmentalists with a sample size of 525 people. The survey tool is a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale and a distance scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, and the reliability of the questionnaire was determined through internal matching of the items (Cronbach's alpha). Findings showed that about 63% of respondents believe that awareness raising in the environmental field is essential, but 97% of respondents believe that triple action (government, NGO, and people) in the areas of the earthquake is not acceptable in the field of increasing awareness. Also, about 67% believe that promotion of knowledge in environmental issues is of great importance, with 80% of respondents acknowledging that the performance of this category in poorly seized areas has been weak. About 68% of respondents believe that positive attitudes toward environmental issues are necessary, and 72% think that the importance of this in earthquake areas is weak and very weak. Approximately 70% of respondents considered skills to be necessary, but 79% believed that the field was weak. In sum, the achievement of environmental education goals in a critical and realistic situation (SarPol-e- Zahab earthquake), which is considered in this paper, is in a fragile state.
