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     

因地制宜 加强农村学校环境教育

环境教育是贯彻环境保护基本国策的基础工程,《全国环境教育行动纲要》明确指出,环境教育是精神文明建设的一个重要组成部分,是素质教育的重要内容。“环境保护,教育为本”,由于教育资源有限,我国目前只有小部分人能够进入大学继续深造,对于大部分人来说,中小学的环境教育质量就决定了他们将来踏上社会时的环境意识水平,而中小学环境教育质量较高,也有利于高校继续对学生进行环境教育;另一方面,由于农村人居分散,人们的环境意识淡薄,加之政府的环境教育投资少,农村居民尤其是中小学生从周围环境中得到的环境教育知识少,     

从教育类学术文献看中国环境教育存在的问题

引言环境教育评价,是环境教育工作的重要组成部分,是环境教育工作必不可缺的激励机制。环境教育评价的方法有多种多样。从公开发表的学术文献的角度来讨论环境教育的进展情况,特别是对环境教育的基础理论和方法的研究情况,也不失为一种有效的环境教育评价方法。ＲｕｔｈＡ．Ｗｉｌｓｏｎ和ＪｏｄｉｅＳｍｉｔｈ曾做过一项研究,从１９９２～１９９３学年的中小学教育类期刊上刊登的环境教育文献状况来讨论人们对中小学环境教育的重视程度以及倾向性。他们的研究表明：人们很难找到有关如何将环境教育融入中小学课程教育的信息;另一方面…

在中学化学教学中嵌入环境保护教育的实践

《环保法》修订中规定,教育行政部门、学校应当将环境保护知识纳入学校教育内容,培养学生的环境保护意识,环境教育应从中学教育开始。实践证明,在化学课中嵌入环境教育具有一定的可行性,可以在观摩教学和课外活动中渗透环境保护内容,在实验课中让学生去践行环境保护,既提高了学生的学习兴趣,又改善了化学课教学效果。     

Performance of newly implemented Environmental Management Systems in primary schools in South Africa

Quantitative results from Environmental Management Systems (EMS) at primary schools have rarely been examined in literature. This paper presents the monitoring results of environmental care in 39 primary schools in Northern South Africa. During 2 years, after the EMS was implemented in the curriculum and in the school's management, the progress of environmental performances of the participating schools has been measured, by means of detailed questionnaires, related to four environmental aspects: water, waste, energy and greening. At the beginning of the project, 50% of the schools performed well on water-related environmental actions. Two years later it was 76%. For waste-related activities the improvement was even stronger: from 50% to 100%. The environmental performances of the schools improved also for greening-related actions, from 50% at the start of the project to 64% two years later. Only energy-related activities did not improve significantly with only 24% of all schools performing well at the end of the survey period.In general, the introduction of an EMS succeeded in an improvement of the overall environmental performances of the schools, but cost-intensive activities were less successful than others.     

Environmental education in Sweden

Summary Schools and higher education institutions in Sweden have developed a wide range of innovative and demanding curricula to meet the objectives of Sweden's environmental policy. Environmental education in compulsory schools is taught principally through biological sciences, although social studies are beginning to occupy a substantial component of the environmental curriculum. Upper secondary schools offer more opportunities to develop environmental awareness, understanding and practical skills than comparable sixth form and post-secondary colleges in England. In Sweden there is a strong emphasis on practical work developed through projects based on contemporary environmental issues and their resolution. The development of environmental education has been well supported by a substantial input of new resources, especially materials developed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Industry. Universities have also begun to adopt new organisational structures to help develop inter-disciplinary teaching and research teams. Several universities are experimenting with common core courses, parts of which comprise environmental elements.Dr P. Brown is currently Visiting Professor of Environmental Education, in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Hertfordshire. All five authors were until recetly members of Her Majesty's Education Service Inspectorate.     

Use of environmental teaching kits in Hong Kong

A systematic postal survey of 449 schools in Hong Kong (including kindergartens, primary and secondary schools) was conducted to investigate the use of environmental education teaching kits and to obtain feedback from teachers about the view and comments in using these kits. Results indicated that kindergartens used teaching kits more frequently than secondary and primary schools. Most of the schools found the existing teaching kits helpful. Appropriate content, updated information, attractiveness to students and inclusion of a teachers' guide were considered important criteria in deciding the use of the teaching kits. Good illustrations, quality production and appropriate duration for the class were considered important factors too. The tight teaching schedule was the major hindrance for secondary and primary schools in the use of the environmental teaching kits. However, the main hindrance for using environmental teaching kits in kindergartens was that they did not have sufficient copies. Hong Kong schools would like to see new teaching kits about waste recycling, energy conservation, green behaviour, air pollution, noise pollution, sewage treatment and wildlife endangering, focusing on Hong Kong and China.     

Environmental Attitudes and Behavior of Primary and Secondary Students in Asian Cities: An Overview Strategy for Implementing an Eco-schools Programme

Environmental education is essential to the success of Agenda 21. Yet currently it is without focus and effectively side-lined. This paper presents the results of preliminary investigations on the environmental attitudes and knowledge of Indian and Filipino primary and secondary school students, and their readiness to engage in pro-environmental behavior that could involve some change in their personal lifestyle. For the most part, environmental education efforts are embedded mainly into various science subjects. The relationship between environmental education and environmental awareness is analyzed to examine whether schools' environmental education could contribute to the shaping of environmental attitudes. A strategy and accompanying methodology for establishing environmental education is supplied.
