Download or read book El espejismo de la educaci n ambiental written by Susana Calvo and published by Ediciones Morata. This book was released on 2007-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El deterioro de la relación del ser humano con su entorno, próximo y lejano, es una realidad cada día más preocupante de la que se ha ocupado la educación ambiental desde finales de los años sesenta del siglo pasado. Por suerte, sus finalidades, metodologías de trabajo, programas, actividades e instrumentos han tenido una considerable difusión y acogida mundial. Además, su trayectoria está ligada a prácticas educativas escolares y comunitarias de distinta naturaleza, acordes con las necesidades y exigencias de los escenarios en los que se ha ido instalado: educativos y sociales, lúdicos y recreativos, turísticos y deportivos, divulgativos y de sensibilización, políticos y de acción comunitaria. La podemos encontrar en los sistemas educativos, en los organismos de gestión ambiental, en las organizaciones no gubernamentales, en los ámbitos universitarios, en los ayuntamientos, en los espacios protegidos, en los parques temáticos, en la televisión y en otros medios de comunicación. Su éxito reside en su habilidad para hacerse útil; también en su capacidad para llevar a la práctica ideas para conseguir un mundo proambiental y equitativo. Así, heredera de una visión utópica orientada por deseos de cambio global de las sociedades, aspira a tener relevancia profesional para que su actividad pueda contribuir a corregir este deterioro socioambiental actual y permita prevenir nuevos problemas, ahora convertidos en amenazas globales. Susana CALVO y José GUTIERREZ plantean en esta obra el reto de que en las sociedades no sea necesaria la educación ambiental porque el deterioro del medio ya no precise de la concienciación que carecemos en la actualidad.

This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores recent trends in the knowledge-based society and education field in Asia-Pacific and discusses future challenges in the region. It presents studies on the development of scientific thought in the field on the knowledge-based society in the Pacific Circle. This book explores the theoretical framework of the knowledge-based society framed by the borders imposed by the Pacific Ocean, particularly from the perspective of the Pacific Circle Consortium (PCC), in the face of a paradigm shift to satisfy the human needs that must be preserved to guarantee economic and human conditions that future development requires. It analyzes how education relates to the knowledge society in the Asia Pacific region, and considers global issues such as environmental degradation, climate change, pollution, soil erosion, growth of the population. It discusses how these issues concerns parents, educators, civil societies and governments of the countries around the Pacific Circle. This book explores the necessity of changing the current transformative paradigm to one that ensures environmental sustainability, with the support of scientific education and research, as an issue that must be integrated into the curricula in schools at all educational levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In un mondo come quello odierno, caratterizzato da un ́enorme capacità di autodistruzione, imparare a vivere insieme rappresenta, forse, uno dei maggiori problemi dell ́educazione. E' perciò necessario concepire un ́educazione che contribuisca a prevenire i conflitti e/o ad affrontarli pacificamente, sollecitando e sostenendo il rispetto verso l ́altro: una nuova pedagogia. Un insegnamento capace di valorizzare la persona nella sua interezza e di favorirne gli apprendimenti anziché mortificarla ed ostacolarla, deve prendere vita all'interno di una relazione improntata alla stima ed alla comprensione: in tal modo può contribuire alla costruzione di un'identità solida e serena, ricca di armonia e di equilibrio interiore.

Download or read book La didattica laboratoriale nell educazione ambientale written by Adriano Sofo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'uomo come persona inserita in contesti culturali e sociali pervasi dai cambiamenti che riguardano tutti i settori si trova di fronte patrimoni ideologici che perdono di consistenza. La scuola assume un ruolo importante di spazio e crocevia per la formazione di una coscienza etica e civile di una società. Ma tale crocevia non si deve risolvere in una mera trasmissione di saperi che diano un'immagine di scuola improduttiva, deve piuttosto scoprire una natura antidogmatica ed antiautoritaria di formazione permanente. La realtà naturale non è li solo per essere osservata e catalogata, come se fosse un gigantesco libro da cui estrapolare il testo. La realtà deve essere scoperta, decodificata ed interpretata. L'ambiente visibile viene smontato e rimontato, scoperto e riscoperto per diventare campo di esperienze partecipative e creative. La scuola offre il proprio contributo in questo processo.

Download or read book Light Pollution The Global View written by H.E Schwarz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of light pollution on flora, fauna -including humans and their widely varying night-time activities- are often subtle and need extensive field studies to be quantified in a sensible manner. Some of the highlights were: The presentation of the 1st world atlas of artificial night sky brightness (Cinzano et al.); the article by the International Darksky Association on their world-wide efforts to curb light pollution (Alvarez del Castillo et al.); the laws controlling light pollution implemented in Spain (Diaz et al.) and Chile (Sanhueza et al.), an overview of the work on radio frequency protection of sites (Cohen et al.) and the excellent introduction to the topic from the Chilean point of view (Daud). Related topics in the book are light pollution education, aircraft contrails, space advertising (with an added document provided by the relevant UN commission), and an experiment on involving the population of an entire country in measuring sky brightness, by using the internet and the media. The text is aimed at professionals from a wide range of disciplines related to lighting and its effects on the night-time environment in the broadest sense of the word. Lay persons interested in this emerging multi-disciplinary field can also find much of interest in this book.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transition Timeline lightens the fear of our uncertain future, providing a map of what we are facing and the different pathways available to us. It describes four possible scenarios for the UK and world over the next twenty years, ranging from Denial, in which we reap the consequences of failing to acknowledge and respond to our environmental challenges, to the Transition Vision, in which we shift our cultural assumptions to fit our circumstances and move into a more fulfilling, lower energy world. The practical, realistic details of this Transition Vision are examined in depth, covering key areas such as food, energy, demographics, transport and healthcare, and they provide a sense of context for communities working towards a thriving future. The book also provides a detailed and accessible update on climate change and peak oil and the interactions between them, including their impacts in the UK, present and future.Use it. Choose your path, and then make that future real with your actions, individually and with your community. As Rob Hopkins outlines in his foreword, there is a rapidly spreading movement addressing these challenges, and it needs you.

Download or read book Globalization and the Decolonial Option written by Walter D. Mignolo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in English profiling the work of a research collective that evolved around the notion of "coloniality", understood as the hidden agenda and the darker side of modernity and whose members are based in South America and the United States. The project called for an understanding of modernity not from modernity itself but from its darker side, coloniality, and proposes the de-colonization of knowledge as an epistemological restitution with political and ethical implications. Epistemic decolonization, or de-coloniality, becomes the horizon to imagine and act toward global futures in which the notion of a political enemy is replaced by intercultural communication and towards an-other rationality that puts life first and that places institutions at its service, rather than the other way around. The volume is profoundly inter- and trans-disciplinary, with authors writing from many intellectual, transdisciplinary, and institutional spaces. This book was published as a special issue of Cultural Studies.

Download or read book Phenomenology and the Human Positioning in the Cosmos written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic conception of human transcendental consciousness assumes its self-supporting existential status within the horizon of life-world, nature and earth. Yet this assumed absoluteness does not entail the nature of its powers, neither their constitutive force. This latter call for an existential source reaching beyond the generative life-world network. Transcendental consciousness, having lost its absolute status (its point of reference) it is the role of the logos to lay down the harmonious positioning in the cosmic sphere of the all, establishing an original foundation of phenomenology in the primogenital ontopoiesis of life. ​

This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume integrates a conceptual framework with participatory methodologies to understand the complexities of dryland socio-ecological systems, and to address challenges and opportunities for stewardship of future drylands and climate change in the global south. Through several case studies, the book offers a transdisciplinary and participatory approach to understand the complexity of socio-ecological systems, to co-produce accurate resource management plans for sustained stewardship, and to drive social learning and polycentric governance. This systemic framework permits the study of human-nature interrelationships through time and in particular contexts, with a focus on achieving progress in accordance with the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development. The book is divided into four main sections: 1) drylands and socio-ecological systems, 2) transdisciplinarity in drylands, 3) interculturality in drylands, and 4) the governance of drylands. Expert contributors address topics such as pastoralism and the characteristics of successful agricultural lands, the sustainable development goals and drylands, dryland modernization, and arid land governance with a focus on Mexico. The volume will be of interest to dryland researchers, sustainable development practitioners and policymakers.
