Education, Nature, and Society: Routledge Research in Education

Autor Stephen Gough
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 noi 2016
Environmental issues continue to divide opinion, sometimes in extreme ways. Almost everyone agrees that education has a role to play in ensuring the future of humanity on Earth. Some think we should all learn to leave a minimal environmental footprint; others argue that education should promote economic growth, because only growth can generate the capital needed to develop solutions to environmental problems. Advocates on each side often find the views of their opponents simply incredible, giving rise to accusations of bad faith or poor science.
This book explores the foundations of the debate by examining human interrelations with Nature. It takes an educational perspective, but also draws on evidence from anthropology, economics, ecology, policy sciences and natural history. The case presented is that any coherent view of the purposes and potential of education requires a theory of human society in the natural world. For such a theory, education (and, more broadly, learning) must be more than an instrument for the achievement of personal or policy goals. Rather, it is an integral, continuing and necessary component of personal and policy development. On this basis, a novel approach to curriculum design and implementation is outlined.

Descriere

Almost everyone agrees that education has a role to play in ensuring the future of humanity on Earth, but while some think we should learn to leave a minimal environmental footprint, others argue that education should promote economic growth to generate the capital needed to solve environmental problems. This book explores the foundations of the debate by examining human interrelations with Nature, arguing that any coherent view of the purposes and potential of education requires a theory of human society in the natural world. It outlines a novel approach to curriculum design and implementation, in which education is an integral and necessary component of personal and policy development.
