Teaching Environmental Literacy – Across Campus and Across the Curriculum de Heather L. Reynolds

Teaching Environmental Literacy – Across Campus and Across the Curriculum: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Autor Heather L. Reynolds, Eduardo S. Brondizio, Jennifer Meta Robinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2010
To prepare today's students to meet growing global environmental challenges, colleges and universities must make environmental literacy a core learning goal for all students, in all disciplines. But what should an environmentally literate citizen know? What teaching and learning strategies are most effective in helping students think critically about human-environment interactions and sustainability, and integrate what they have learned in diverse settings? Educators from the natural and social sciences and the humanities discuss the critical content, skills, and affective qualities essential to environmental literacy. This volume is an invaluable resource for developing integrated, campus-wide programs to prepare students to think critically about, and to work to create, a sustainable society.

Recenzii

"Even as interconnected environmental, social, and economic problems have become increasingly prominent in public discourse, the training people receive to understand and address such concerns has lagged behind. Thirty-odd years after the first Earth Day, for example, only one-third of Americans can pass basic tests of environmental knowledge with grades of C or better . . . ." --from the introduction

"This collection is an invaluable resource for developing integrated, campus-wide programs to prepare students to think critically about, and to work to create, a sustainable society." --Abstracts of Public Administration, Development, and Environment, 2010
