La educación ambiental y el desarrollo sostenible: conceptualización del profesorado de formación inicial de secundaria
2008
Después de más de 30 años de hacer esfuerzos para implantar la EA, en el año 2005 se instituye la Década de la Educación para el Desarrollo Sostenible. Esto puede ser una buena ocasión para relanzar la EA, pero para que sea así, ha de asumirse por el profesorado. Nos planteamos en que medida la proclamación de la Década está teniendo repercusiones reales o simplemente ha sido un mensaje de buena voluntad lanzado por las Instituciones. Una forma de saberlo es analizar la concepción que futuros docentes tienen respecto a los términos de Educación Ambiental y Desarrollo Sostenible. El trabajo de investigación que se presenta, es el resultado de un estudio sobre la concepción de los términos Ed…
Ciencia de la sostenibilidad: un nuevo campo de conocimientos al que la química y la educación química están contribuyendo
2013
Los dominios de conocimiento más diversos contribuyen actualmente al tratamiento de problemas socioambientales. Se han publicado muchos artículos y libros en los campos de Química Verde, Ecología Industrial, Ingeniería Ambiental, Economía Verde (baja en carbono), Educación Ambiental, etc. Pero hace poco se entendió que estas contribuciones son insuficientes y que necesitamos una Ciencia de Sostenibilidad que los integra a todos. Este documento estudia el surgimiento de este nuevo campo de conocimiento e investigación, cuyo objetivo explícito es contribuir a la transición a una sociedad sostenible. The most diverse knowledge domains are currently contributing to the treatment of socio-enviro…

Climate Change Education in the Curricula of Technical and Classical Universities
2010
Climate change education is becoming an integral part of the education in study programs at universities in Latvia offering environmental education study programs. In this article, a comparison of approaches of climate change education in classical (University of Latvia) and technical (Riga Technical University) are discussed. Requirements of the labour market are the key factors influencing study content and study methods. Therefore, consultations with major stakeholders and with academics involved in environmental education (e.g. the Council of Environmental Education and Science), may be some of the main tools to implement new concepts.
Autonomy and ICT in Environmental Education
2012
[EN] This paper aims at tackling the need for appropriate knowledge when addressing Environmental Education (EE) from an autonomous and critical viewpoint. It also aims at showing the need for the appropriation of ICT with a view to foster the perception of the environmental complexity, as well as the construction of a new kind of environmental knowledge and awareness. These two factors should be capable of modifying the way human beings behave and relate to their environment. Before looking at effective ways to achieve this goal, a suitable praxis should be developed in such a way that a new environmental awareness emerges. This new praxis should in turn help foster the autonomy of both ed…
Pedagogical Tools that Help Students Pose and Solve Environmental Problems
2015
In the literature, most environmental problems are deemed complex and multidimensional (Foladori, 2005; Sauve, 1997). According to Jonassen (2000), a complex problem possesses a large number of characteristics, functions, and variables. Furthermore, many relationships exist between the elements of this type of problem. Bardwell, Monroe, and Tudor (1994) attribute three dimensions to environmental problems.
Parent-Child Similarity in Environmental Attitudes: A Pairwise Comparison
2012
Are adolescents’ environmental attitudes similar to their parents’ attitudes? The main objective of this study is to examine what quantitative associations, if any, exist in parent-child environmental attitudes within the family. The survey data was collected assessing attitudes toward the environment and nature from 15-year-old students (n = 237) and their parents (n = 212) in Finland. A significant positive correlation emerged in environmental attitudes between mothers and fathers. Interestingly, the results revealed some indicative evidence that girls’ environmental attitudes could relate more to their father's than mother's attitudes. Girls were as positive in their environmental attitu…
Google Earth geo-education resources: A transnational approach from Ireland, Iceland, Finland, and Norway
2012
The Northern Environmental Education Development (NEED) project was a transnational geo-education resource development initiative cooperated by four European countries: Ireland, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. NEED supported the development of novel geological information resources, and the establishment of geoeducation networks in the four project regions. An analysis of the national geography and science curriculum in each region was conducted. This analysis identifi ed which geographic learning skills were common to each curriculum. The development of innovative geographic information system (GIS) resources to help support the development of geographic skills was considered a potentially v…
La “ambientalización” de los estudios de ciencias ambientales en España
2016
Presentamos los resultados de un proceso de identificación de la Educación Ambiental (EA) en los grados de Ciencias Ambientales (CA) en España. Para ello hemos indagado en las páginas web de las universidades, señalando la presencia de la EA, su carácter optativo/obligatorio, los departamentos responsables de la misma y los indicadores de EA y de metodología docente en sus guías docentes. Por otro lado se aplicó una encuesta a una muestra de estudiantes universitarios del grado de CA sobre su inerés hacia la EA, la naturaleza de esta y su grado de acuerdo con loxs indicadores anteriores. Lo s resultados evidencian una implantación parcial de la EA y una esperanzadora actitud de los estudian…
