This curriculum model is a value-based model of environmental sustainability built through the Vocational College Standard Curriculum of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (VCSC_ RAC). Concerning that, this study proposes a Research, Design and Development (DDR) approach which is a multi-method development research approach. The study will go through three phases and use several different research tools in each phase. The involvement of study participants from expert groups and user groups consisting of field lecturers will be able to provide various inputs and consider aspects of the model’s needs in addressing the problem of the impact of refrigerants on the environment through VCSC_RAC. The purpose of this study is to identify the needs analysis for the development of this curriculum model. The study was conducted by survey method that is using questionnaires. Questionnaires were distributed to Vocational College (VC) lecturers in the field of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) throughout Malaysia. Researchers have found that there is a need to build a value -based curriculum model for the environment. The findings of this study indicate the need for the curriculum model to be built through VCSC_RAC based on values towards the environment. The emphasis on the value aspect of the environment is very relevant so that the quality of teaching and learning in VC can be improved to provide students with values, awareness and responsibility towards the environment.
