L'éducation au développement durable est devenue une injonction ministérielle dans différents pays. Elle s'inscrit dans les programmes scolaires. Ce concept de développement durable donne pourtant lieu à de multiples interprétations, parfois contradictoires. Il est donc important de marquer un temps d'arrêt afin d'analyser les fondements idéologiques des concepts de développement durable et d'éducation au développement durable, ce qui peut y faire controverses, tout comme les caractéristiques des représentations et des pratiques éducatives qui s'en réclament. Les universitaires ayant contribué à ce livre s'interrogent sur ces mutations subtiles et sur leurs effets, non seulement pour les enseignants, les praticiens, et les nouvelles générations d'élèves, mais également dans l'espace public – que ce soit au Québec, en France, en Belgique. C'est toute notre façon de concevoir l'environnement et l'éducation à l'environnement qui est ici questionnée. L'éducation au développement durable correspond-elle à une réorientation profonde des principes à l'origine de l'éducation relative à l'environnement? Sert-elle des fins de justice sociale en s'inspirant de visons du monde différentes? Recherche-t-elle des rapports à la nature et à l'autre renouvelés vers une écocitoyenneté critique? Contribue telle à renforcer les dialogues sciences-société? Pour répondre à ces questions, la première partie du livre analyse les orientations idéologiques du développement durable et de l'éducation au développement durable. La deuxième partie cerne finement des représentations et des pratiques éducatives en éducation au développement durable et la troisième partie traite de la question centrale du rapport au savoir scientifique à privilégier, des types de formation et de l'enseignement des controverses. Les prises de position regroupées dans ce livre ne sont pas uniformes. Certaines, plus critiques s'interrogent sur les dérives idéologiques possibles d'autres plus pragmatiques, soulignent les représentations et les pratiques fécondes. Leur mise en correspondance ouvre ici un espace de mise en dialogue stimulant et original. Ce livre marque un tournant dans l'étude de l'éducation à l'environnement et de l'éducation au développement durable. Il permettra aux éducateurs, aux didacticiens, aux chercheurs, aux étudiants et aux décideurs de comprendre que nous assistons à un changement à la fois déterminant et subtil dans nos manières de concevoir l'éducation et la protection de l'environnement.

Download or read book International Handbook of Research on Environmental Education written by Robert B. Stevenson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environment and contested notions of sustainability are increasingly topics of public interest, political debate, and legislation across the world. Environmental education journals now publish research from a wide variety of methodological traditions that show linkages between the environment, health, development, and education. The growth in scholarship makes this an opportune time to review and synthesize the knowledge base of the environmental education (EE) field. The purpose of this 51-chapter handbook is not only to illuminate the most important concepts, findings and theories that have been developed by EE research, but also to critically examine the historical progression of the field, its current debates and controversies, what is still missing from the EE research agenda, and where that agenda might be headed. Published for the American Educational Research Association (AERA).

Download or read book International Perspectives on the Theory and Practice of Environmental Education A Reader written by Giuliano Reis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book shares critical perspectives on the conceptualization, implementation, discourses, policies, and alternative practices of environmental education (EE) for diverse and unique groups of learners in a variety of international educational settings. Each contribution offers insights on the authors’ own processes of re-imagining an education in/about/for the environment that are realized through their teaching, research and other ways of “doing” EE. Overall, environmental education has been aimed at giving people a wider appreciation of the diversity of cultural and environmental systems around them as well as the urge to overcome existing problems. In this context, universities, schools, and community-based organizations struggle to promote sustainable environmental education practices geared toward the development of ecologically literate citizens in light of surmountable challenges of hyperconsumerism, environmental depletion and socioeconomic inequality. The extent that individuals within educational systems are expected to effectively respond to—as well as benefit from—a “greener” and more just world becomes paramount with the vision and analysis of different successes and challenges embodied by EE efforts worldwide. This book fosters conversations amongst researchers, teacher educators, schoolteachers, and community leaders in order to promote new international collaborations around current and potential forms of environmental education. This book reflects many successful international projects and perspectives on the theory and praxis of environmental education. An eclectic mix of international scholars challenge environmental educators to engage issues of reconciliation of correspondences and difference across regions. In their own ways, authors stimulate critical conversations that seem pivotal for necessary re-imaginings of research and pedagogy across the grain of cultural and ecological realities, systematic barriers and reconceptualizations of environmental education. The book is most encouraging in that it works to expand the creative commons for progress in teaching, researching and doing environmental education in desperate times. — Paul Hart, Professor of Science and Environmental Education at the University of Regina (Canada), Melanson Award for outstanding contributions to environmental and outdoor education (Saskatchewan Outdoor and Environmental Education Association) and North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE)’s Jeske Award for Leadership and Service to the Field of EE and Outstanding Contributions to Research in EE. In an attempt to overcome simplistic and fragmented views of doing Environmental Education in both formal and informal settings, the collected authors from several countries/continents present a wealth of cultural, social, political, artistic, pedagogical, and ethical perspectives that enrich our vision on the theoretical and practical foundations of the field. A remarkable book that I suggest all environmental educators, teacher educators, policy and curricular writers read and present to their students in order to foster dialogue around innovative ways of experiencing an education about/in/for the environment. — Rute Monteiro, Professor of Science Education, Universidade do Algarve/ University of Algarve (Portugal).

Download or read book Ecological Education in Action written by Gregory A. Smith and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1998-11-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological Education in Action celebrates the work of innovative educators in North America who explore ecological issues in school and non-school settings. These educators demonstrate how to reshape the thinking of children and adults to affirm the value of sufficiency, mutual support, and community. Courses in environmental education often focus on scientific analysis and social policy—not cultural change. Children are exposed to information regarding environmental problems and explore such topics as endangered species, the logging of tropical rainforests, or the monitoring of water quality in local streams and rivers. Some adopt manatees or whales, or create school-wide recycling programs. These topics and efforts are without question commendable, however, missing is a recognition of the deeper cultural transformations that must accompany the shift to a more ecologically sustainable way of life. Ecological Education in Action describes courses, programs, or projects that are transformative in nature, aimed at engendering the experience of connectedness that lies at the heart of moral action. The book creates a powerful and useful image of what an ecologically grounded form of education for our own era could look like. [Contributors include Ray Barnhardt, C. A.

Download or read book Environmental Education in a Climate of Reform written by Sylvia Christine Almeida and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "India is grappling with serious environmental issues that have been largely sparked by its galloping economy. As a measure of its seriousness to reduce the environmental impacts it has spearheaded numerous policy initiatives. One of the major thrusts of the proposed initiatives to curb environmental degradation has been to create an informed and well-educated citizenry. The federal mandates have triggered new curriculum policies and the compulsory teaching of environmental and sustainability education at all levels in all education institutions. This volume examines the policy practice conundrum. It looks at how national and international policy reforms reach practitioners – in this case teacher educators. Furthermore, it unravels how teacher educators understand environmental education, the ways in which they negotiate its demands on their busy schedules, what helps them in determining relevant issues within this and finally how they implement these policies in their everyday practices. It is evident from this book that while there have been some really well meaning development of policies, their impact on teacher educators’ practice, and therefore student teachers’ learning about Environmental Education is limited. The study showed that while these teacher educators had a clear understanding of the environment and saw the need/importance of incorporating Environmental Education in their daily practices they had very little scope to do so. There were numerous factors that constrained implementation. The book provides inputs on global policy practice gaps. It offers valuable insights to a global audience grappling with understanding the ways in which environmental education policies are put into practice in emerging economies like India. The final argument is thesis that while policy reforms are a step in the right direction they need to be backed up with strong implementation systems in order to be successful."“div>

Download or read book Environmental and Sustainability Education in Teacher Education written by Douglas D. Karrow and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was inspired by the inaugural National Roundtable on Environmental and Sustainability Education in Canadian Faculties of Education (Roundtable 2016), which took place June 14-16, 2016, at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. Roundtable 2016 brought together over seventy participants from across Canada, including educators, researchers, policy-makers, consultants, and community organizations. Over the course of three days, participants took part in keynote addresses, research colloquia, networking socials, and collaborative inquiry activities focused on Environmental Sustainability Education in Teacher Education (ESE-TE). Roundtable 2016 resulted in the publication of a National Action Plan containing action-oriented recommendations for enhancing ESE-TE, and a position statement titled “The Otonabee Declaration,” where delegates articulated their views regarding environmental degradation, the critical need for enhancing ESE-TE, and, the role educators, children, youth, educational institutions, policy makers, and Indigenous communities play in enhancing ESE-TE in Canada. This volume concludes with a discussion placing current Canadian ESE-TE theory and practice within an international context.

Download or read book New Tools for Environmental Protection written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-06-13 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people believe that environmental regulation has passed a point of diminishing returns: the quick fixes have been achieved and the main sources of pollution are shifting from large "point sources" to more diffuse sources that are more difficult and expensive to regulate. The political climate has also changed in the United States since the 1970s in ways that provide impetus to seek alternatives to regulation. This book examines the potential of some of these "new tools" that emphasize education, information, and voluntary measures. Contributors summarize what we know about the effectiveness of these tools, both individually and in combination with regulatory and economic policy instruments. They also extract practical lessons from this knowledge and consider what is needed to make these tools more effective. The book will be of interest to environmental policy practitioners and to researchers and students concerned with applying social and behavioral sciences knowledge to improve environmental quality.

Download or read book Environmental Sustainability Education for a Changing World written by Erika Pénzesné Kónya and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, there is a need to promote and empower practical action towards better environmental conservation and greater sustainability; education aspires to achieve and motivate this – one mind at a time. This book advances a future-oriented vision of the development of environmental sustainability education in settings outside the high-school. It provides practical guidance for teacher practitioners and policy makers in community-oriented environmental sustainability education. It promotes a modern holistic approach to sustainability learning in and by the community through participative engagement with sustainability issues. Its special foci include working with volunteers and citizen scientists, through museums or through re-purposing Higher Education. Its approach emphasises the implementation of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and cooperation with environmental management professionals. This book’s cosponsors include the International Association for Headwater Control and FAO – European Forestry Commission’s Working Party on the Management of Mountain Watersheds, as well as the International Environmental Education Conferences, Eger, Hungary and the Hungarian Academy of Science’s Subcommittee on Future Studies. Community education has long been a goal for environmental management, whose practitioners realise that interventions, such as biodiversity conservation, are only truly sustainable when supported by the local land-user and stakeholder communities; this depends upon these stakeholders’ understanding why intervention is necessary.

Download or read book Environmental Education in the 21st Century written by Joy Palmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental education is a field characterised by a paradox. Few would doubt the urgency and importance of learning to live in sustainable ways, but environmental education holds nowhere near the priority position in formal schooling around the world that this would suggest. This text sets out to find out why this is so. It is divided into six parts: Part 1 is a concise history of the development of environmental education from an international perspective; Part 2 is an overview of the 'global agenda', or subject knowledge of environmental education; Part 3 introduces perspectives on theory and research in environmental education; Part 4 moves on to practice, and presents an integrated model for planning environmental education programmes; Part 5 brings together invited contributors who talk about environmental education in their own countries - from 15 countries including China, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the USA; Part 6 returns to the core questions of how progress can be made, and how we can maximise the potential of environmental education for the twenty first century.
