Pupils’ Understanding about Responsible Research and Innovation
2018
Educating a responsible and ethically sensitive citizen is a challenging task, and pupils should be offered the opportunity to exercise these qualities such as evaluating the ethical issues of nanotechnology. In the European Union, the concept of responsible research and innovation (RRI) was developed to connect both the scientific and industrial processes and their outcomes with the values, needs and expectations of society. RRI helps teachers and pupils engage with scientists, educators, museum workers and the public in doing research and innovations as part of school projects. The aim of the study was to examine how RRI dimensions were understood by Finnish pupils grade five and seven (a…
Learning to Live Life Depth

Current coordinates of everyday life may be addressed in school, alongside other elements of education, and education issues for environmental quality. This highlights a major priority for all of us, to know, protect and preserve the living environment, nature conservation and became effective and fair only when it will be part of our philosophy and behavior. We are at a historical moment that should guide our actions, meditating greater the repercussions on the environment. Deepening the knowledge of students and even our academics, and acting with greater wisdom, we can provide for ourselves and for posterity living conditions in an environment better adapted to the needs and aspirations …
Learning to survive amidst nested crises: can the coronavirus pandemic help us change educational practices to prepare for the impending eco-crisis?
2021
The ongoing ecological crisis and the more recent Coronavirus crisis challenge the grand narrative of Enlightenment that human beings are ‘masters of nature’. For millennia, human social learning has allowed Homo sapiens to outpace most of our competitor creatures and live a comfortable life, but this competitive success has resulted in cataclysmic failure for the ecosystem. However, people’s unique ability to learn gives us hope that we can overcome the nested crises, or learn to live with them. What is required is not more knowledge, but instead, collective learning to change practices, institutionalized in educational processes. Drawing on the theory of practice architectures, this paper…
Ciencia de la Sostenibilidad: ¿Una nueva disciplina o un nuevo enfoque para todas las disciplinas?
2015
Al inicio de este siglo XXI comenzó a desarrollarse un nuevo dominio científico, la Ciencia de la Sostenibilidad, con el objetivo explícito de hacer frente a la actual situación de emergencia planetaria e impulsar la transición a sociedades sostenibles. Una nueva forma de hacer ciencia para un nuevo período de la historia de la humanidad, el Antropoceno, en el que el planeta está experimentando grandes cambios, debidos principalmente a la acción de los seres humanos, que amenazan la supervivencia de la propia especie humana. Nuestro propósito en este trabajo ha sido analizar en qué medida esta Ciencia de la Sostenibilidad puede realmente contribuir a la necesaria transición a la Sostenibili…
I musei naturalistici come presidi ambientali e culturali. L'Orto botanico di Palermo
2013
La funzione degli Orti botanici, fondamentalmente, si esplica nella conservazione, nella ricerca scientifica, nelle attività espositive ed educative. I punti di forza dell’azione sociale di questi tipi di musei deriva sia dalla capacità di produrre e diffondere la conoscenza scientifica, sia dalla ricchezza patrimoniale posseduta. Una serie di emergenze planetarie e le prospettive incerte per l’ambiente, le società, le economie di tutte le nazioni del mondo configurano lo scenario d’oggi. Questa situazione richiede la costruzione collettiva di nuove forme di sentire, pensare e agire nella ricerca di soluzione ai problemi contemporanei. Si tratta quindi, per i musei scientifici, di intrapren…
The effects of socio-scientific issue based inquiry learning on pupils’ representations of landscape
2016
AbstractResearch has demonstrated that socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning has significant advantages for learning outcomes and students’ motivation. Further, a successful understanding of landscapes in environmental and geographical education can be achieved by combining informal learning environments with school education. Therefore this case study focuses on how socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning carried out in school and in a Nature Park, influences primary school pupils’ (n = 36) representations of landscapes. The pupils were asked to draw and write about landscape both before and after intervention. The data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to inves…
