西部农村中小学环境教育之我见

正我国开展环境教育已有三十多年了,针对中小学生环境教育的讨论主要集中在城市地区,并取得了一定的成效,积累了很多经验,但针对农村特别是西部农村的中小学环境教育的研究还比较薄弱,学生的环境意识较低,教师对环境教育概念还比较模糊,环境教育专业能力较弱。因此,如何解决西部农村小学环境教育问题,提高西部农村中小学的环境教育水平已迫在眉睫。目前西部农村中小学环境教育存在的主要问题表现为:一是观念落后环境意识不强。当地教育主管领导、学校领导到教师、学生对环境教育的认识都不够,认

开展环境教育工作的几点思考

教师教育观念的转变是开展环境教育的重要前提当前 ,大多数教师所熟悉、所钟情的是学科教学 ,重学科课 ,轻活动课是一种普遍存在的倾向 ,而传统的、陈旧的教学与评价方式恰恰是这种倾向的重要原因。中小学环境教育涉及学科广泛 ,内容极为丰富 ,又与经济发展、社会生活紧密联系 ,它涉及现实社会、经济和自然的许多领域 ,对培养学生理论联系实际 ,关心自然—社会 ,提高综合分析问题的能力具有重要意义。中小学环境教育也是实现素质教育的重要途径之一。教师如何深刻理解新时代对学生开展环境教育的重要性认识 ,如何把认识转变成教学的具体行动…

浅析中小学环境教育

环境保护,教育为本。对于生态文明建设具有重要推动作用的环境与可持续发展教育也要从基础教育抓起。在中小学开展环境与可持续发展教育工作,是推进基础教育领域的环境与可持续发展的关键。环境教育是学校教育的重要组成部分,在引导学生全面看待环境问题,培养他们的社会责任和解决实际问题的能力,提高环境素养等方面有着不可替代的作用。环境教育兼有自然科学与人文社会科学的内涵;它从多种角度全面理解环境体系,掌握社会环境与生态环境及其内部各组成要素之间的密切联系和相互作用;它以跨学科的方式融入各科教学和学校管理中。环境教育强调学生在亲身体验中发现和创造知

Dialogic writing as a tool for thinking and learning about the environment

Competence in understanding and resolving environmental problems requires a curriculum that integrates traditional disciplines with applied problem-solving skills and/or methods. Building upon the work of scholars who are calling for curriculum reform so that students may understand better the ethical dimensions of environmental problems, we analyze the theory of using dialogic writing to think and learn about the environment, and we provide examples of application of this technique.     

Perceptions of Wood in Rivers and Challenges for Stream Restoration in the United States

This article reports a study of the public perception of large wood in rivers and streams in the United States. Large wood is an element of freshwater aquatic ecosystems that has attracted much scientific interest in recent years because of its value in biological and geomorphological processes. At the heart of the issue is the nature of the relationship between scientific recognition of the ecological and geomorphological benefits of wood in rivers, management practices utilizing wood for river remediation progress, and public perceptions of in-channel wood. Surveys of students’ perceptions of riverscapes with and without large wood in the states of Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon, and Texas suggest that many individuals in the United States adhere to traditionally negative views of wood. Except for students in Oregon, most respondents considered photographs of riverscapes with wood to be less aesthetically pleasing and needing more improvement than rivers without wood. Analysis of reasons given for improvement needs suggest that Oregon students are concerned with improving channels without wood for fauna habitat, whereas respondents elsewhere focused on the need for cleaning wood-rich channels for flood risk management. These results underscore the importance of public education to increase awareness of the geomorphological and ecological significance of wood in stream systems. This awareness should foster more positive attitudes toward wood. An integrated program of research, education, and policy is advocated to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public perception for effective management and restoration of river systems with wood.     

Farmers,Streams, Information,and Money: Does Informing Farmers About Riparian Management Have Any Effect?

We assessed relationships between the extent to which farmers reported exposure to relevant information and their attitudes towards, knowledge about, and degree of adoption of riparian management strategies. We also examined associations between knowledge of, or receipt of, financial assistance for riparian fencing/planting and intentions for and extent of adoption of this strategy. A mail survey of 718 pastoral farmers in Otago and Southland in New Zealand [294 surveys returned (41%)] yielded 279 usable questionnaires. Indices were developed to reflect range and frequency of information use and range of practices adopted. Attitudes were measured using Likert-type responses to 11 statements, and knowledge as a score on a ten-question true/false test. Positive relationships between information and the three main response variables (attitude, knowledge, and adoption) were weak but significant and systematic. These associations remained significant when important demographic and farm characteristics were taken into account. Informed farmers were more likely to report intentions to carry out riparian fencing or planting within the next year. Farmers who were aware that funding was available were also more likely to state this intention, independent of information level. The reported extent to which waterways had been fenced to exclude stock was related to receipt of funding, but not to information level. Financial factors were the most influential barrier preventing adoption of permanent fencing. Our research shows a positive correlation between the receipt of information and funding and the adoption of specific riparian management measures.
