Download or read book Effect of Ecological Intelligence on Developing Ecological Sensitivity Among Prospective Teachers written by Dr.M. Caroline Maria and published by Shashwat Publication. This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about an experimental study carried out by the author to find out the effect of ecological intelligence on developing ecological sensitivity among prospective teachers. The experiment is conducted to enhance the prospective teachers’ ecological intelligence in order to develop their ecological sensitivity which is expected to be imbibed in student community for ensuring a safe environment to all living beings. The author has adopted Daniel Goleman’s idea of ecological intelligence and developed the concept of ecological sensitivity from the perspective of the mental disposition of an individual to deal effectively the dynamic environment with empathy by taking initiatives to mitigate the environmental problems for sustainable development since the prevailing environmental condition demands the human beings to quickly respond to the environmental problems in order to protect the environment not only for the continued survival of the present generation, but also to ensure safe environment for the future generations.

Download or read book Pro environmental Behaviors written by Kiyo Kurisu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a much-needed practical and conceptual guide for various pro-environmental behaviors. Written by an expert in both the environmental psychology and engineering fields, the book presents an overview of various pro-environmental behaviors (Chapter 1), the psychological background of behaviors (Chapters 2 and 3), how to survey and understand pro-environmental behaviors using questionnaires (Chapter 4) and how to know the actual environmental burdens derived by each behavior using life-cycle assessment (LCA) (Chapter 5), and measures to foster the behaviors and selected case studies for practitioners (Chapter 6). Readers will find Chapters 1, 4, and 5 particularly unique and useful; they provide an overview of many environmental behaviors and also the practical academic tools for analyzing environmental behaviors, such as questionnaire procedures, questions lists (“scales” in psychology), statistical tools, software, LCA methodologies, and databases. The book addresses the needs of academics and practitioners and is well suited as a textbook and reference guide for those studying or working in environmental engineering (systematic research), social psychology (environmental psychology), environmental education, and sustainability science. Policymakers will find the questionnaire list useful, as it can help them to grasp citizens’ environmental concerns and actual behaviors. The behavior list and LCA can be used to make manuals or guidelines for citizens to enhance environmental behaviors, and the case studies provide an informative basis for designing programs and workshops for citizens. Although the field of “pro-environmental behaviors” has been intensively dealt with by European researchers, their approaches have largely been limited to psychological viewpoints and program (education) development through small case studies. Further, the target behaviors are often limited to recycling and energy/water savings. In contrast, this book provides the first introduction to pro-environmental behaviors as a whole. As pro-environmental behaviors have become increasingly important not only in developed but also in developing countries, this publication represents a timely resource for the growing number of researchers exploring pro-environment behaviors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a decade’s worth of changes, Human Safety and Risk Management, Second Edition contains new chapters addressing safety culture and models of risk as well as an extensive re-working of the material from the earlier edition.

Filled with practical examples and case studies and drawing on a range of disciplines, the book explores individual differences and the many ways in which human beings are alike within a risk and safety context. It delineates a risk management approach that includes a range of techniques such as risk assessment, safety audit, and safety interventions.

They discuss managing behavior in work environments including key functions and benefits of groups, factors influencing team effectiveness, and barriers to effectiveness such as groupthink.

Download or read book Adolescence Mental Health in School and University written by Iman Permana and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-29 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A school, whether run by the government or a private institution, is established to prepare adolescents for adulthood. In some regions, some religious societies have established a comprehensive educational institution supported by their religious competencies requirement in their curriculum, along with the national curriculum. Adolescence is a period of life that ranges from 10 to 19 years old and expands from school to the early phase of university. Adolescents are considered highly susceptible to mental health issues. Anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, and suicidal attempts have been shown to increase before the age of 24. There is a myriad of factors that can contribute to the development of mental health disorders in this context, including family, parenting style, and bullying from peers/teachers. Failing to address contributing factors may hinder adolescents from fulfilling and sustaining healthy and productive adult lives.
