大学生环境教育刍议

分析了我国大学生环境教育的现状，论述了大学生环境教育的必须性，在此基础上对在高等院校开展环境教育提出了建议和措施。     

我国高校环境教育存在的问题与对策

我国高校环境教育存在专业型环境教育与普及型环境教育发展的失衡、环境知识教育与环境情感、伦理教育的失衡及环境教育的跨学科性没有得到凸显等问题。环境教育改进的对策是:将环境教育确立为高校通识课程、必修课程并完善教师团队;将培育环境情感作为突出目标;着重塑造和实践大学生的环境伦理道德。     

论思想政治教育的主观环境

思想政治教育环境是客观性与主观性、具体性与抽象性的统一。主观环境是思想政治教育环境的重要组成部分,可以分为教育者营造性环境、教育对象感受性环境和传媒拟态性环境,它们对于思想政治教育的影响和价值在于相互确证。只有通过不断优化思想政治教育客观环境等,扩展主观环境之间的同构性,才能增强思想政治教育的实效性。

思想政治教育网络环境初探

思想政治教育网络环境是现代思想政治教育环境的一部分，与传统的思想政治教育环境相比,它具有虚拟性、信息资源丰富性和共享性、开放性、自由交互性、超时空性等特征。对思想政治教育网络环境的研究对推动思想政治教育的学科建设和发展，开创思想政治教育的新局面具有重要的理论意义和现实意义。     

论我国中小学环境教育内容

中小学环境教育是我国环境基础教育的一个重要组成部分。中小学环境教育的课程内容包括三个方面：环境知识技能、环境意识、环境规范，并且中学和小学环境教育内容应该各有侧重，形成系统性和层次性。     

教育评价必须十分重视教育环境质量评价

教育环境是教育育人系统的有机组成部分，教育环境质量直接或间接地制约着教育功能的实现。教育环境质量评价有利于增强环境建设的自觉 性，导向环境改善目标。评价教育环境质量应十分注重评价指标体系即评价维度、标准和指标的构想。     

地方高校环境教育体系的构建与实践

环境教育是走可持续发展之路的重要保证,作为环境教育实施载体的地方高等学校必须加强环境教育体系的构建与实践.应在全员性、全方位性、全过程性原则的指导下,从学校教学、文化、制度等方面入手,对地方高等学校环境教育体系的基本内容、基本框架等方面加强构建与实践.     

社区:幼儿重要的教育环境

社区是幼儿认识社会的桥梁和窗口。社区环境包括物质环境因素与精神环境因素，具体体现为社区机构、社区居住环境、社区化等诸方面。社区环境对幼儿既有积极教育意义也有消极影响。凸现社区环境的教育性，促进幼儿身心健康发展，需要合理配置社区教育资源，优化社区环境。     

浅析幼儿园教育环境的内涵与特点

阐述了幼儿园教育环境的内涵。指出了幼儿园教育环境应具有儿童性、教育性、互动性、开放性等特点。     

Examining the environmental awareness of children and adolescents in the Ranomafana region,madagascar

This paper examines children's and adolescents' environmental awareness in rural Madagascar. Two types of school survey among 8‐ to 21‐year‐old students and pupils in 18 schools were used for data collection. The objective of this comparative study was to examine the environmental awareness and knowledge of children and adolescents living under different ecological conditions. The role of education in forming environmental awareness is also considered. This research was carried out in villages nearby Ranomafana National Park located in forested areas as well as in more environmentally degraded villages further from the park. The results of the study show that children in rural areas of Madagascar are measurably aware of environmental issues and can relate them to human activities. The effect of education on environmental concern is significant, but when the effects of degradation can be felt and seen in daily life there is an increase in this awareness. Children's environmental concern and demand for action was stronger in deforested areas.

环境生态课程编制

环境生态课程是将儿童置于常态生活环境中以时间、空间两维作基点 ,循儿童在时空中的活动为主线 ,进行动态性教育诊断评量 ,调动生活环境建立自然支持系统 ,实施更为具体、实效、生活化和个别化的家庭、社区教育。     

Promoting connectedness with nature through environmental education

It has been suggested that a positive human–nature relationship is essential for countering today’s environmental problems. Prior environmental education research has focused largely on knowledge or attitudinal outcomes, and few studies have examined the ability of environmental education programmes to promote connectedness with nature. Therefore, our goal was to (1) examine differences in connectedness with nature among a sample of children with differing ages and academic tracks, and (2) investigate whether environmental education can help promote and sustain connectedness with nature. With a pre-, post- and retention test design, we assessed a comprehensive four-day environmental education programme on water at a school field centre, using the inclusion of nature in self (INS) scale to identify the change in connectedness of 9–10-year-old pupils and 11–13-year-old pupils. We found that younger children and university-track pupils had higher INS scores than older children and general-education-track pupils, respectively. Participating in environmental education resulted in a robust short-term increase in connectedness with nature in both age groups. However, only the younger pupils’ connectedness remained sustained four weeks following the treatment. Environmental educators should keep in mind that strengthening connectedness to nature is more sustainable before the age of 11.     

Violence and the changing universe of disabilities

The field of special education has primary responsibility for providing specialized services to young children with disabilities in the schools. Increasingly, it is recognized that many disabilities identified among young children may be attributable to environmental variables, such as violence, poverty, toxic materials exposure, and family dysfunction. Issues of violence hold particular relevance for special education professionals. Recent studies report that young children with disabilities are 1.7 times more likely to be victims of maltreatment than children without disabilities. For children with disabilities living with the effects of violence, the infrastructure of special education as it is now developing may be the most promising approach to individual and systems intervention. Comprehensive community-based initiatives are replacing fragmented practices. The new collaborations can multiply the results of intervention or support programs beyond those attainable through any single approach.

Children's Drawings About the Environment

Drawings by English and Mexican school children (7 to 9 years old – year three of primary education) were analysed to evaluate their environmental perceptions, and their major expectations and concerns for the future. The analyses considered whether culture and the school ethos with regard to the environment have an effect on the formation of environmental perceptions in young children. A total of 741 drawings were collected from eight schools: three in England and five in Mexico. Results show that children manifest a deep environmental concern in their pictures (37% depicted environmental problems). Children were pessimistic about the future; 54% thought the world will be in worse shape in 50 years time. Mexican children gave significantly greater importance to drawing rural places. Overall, however, children from these two countries, with significant structural and cultural differences, manifested more similarities in their drawings than differences. There was no strong evidence to suggest that children from schools with environmental policies developed a higher concern for environmental issues. Children's drawings are useful tools in providing valuable information for the assessment of children's environmental perceptions.     

Science Journalists on Metropolitan Dailies: Methods,Values and Perceptions of Their Work

Abstract

In this study, the authors examined the transfer of environmental information and ideologies from Costa Rican children to their parents. Ethnographic data were collected in two school districts in Costa Rica's Central Valley through (1) interviews with teachers, sixth grade children, and parents; (2) a field pretest-post-test of parents for specific environmental knowledge, which their children were taught in school; and (3) participant observation of families, schools, and communities. The data revealed that although environmental information may be transferred in some families and conditions, this transfer is generally rare and situation-specific, and environmental educators should not assume that adults are routinely reached by information presented to children. The authors recommend that more emphasis be placed on nonformal environmental education programs that target adults. They also suggest ways to increase the likelihood that adults are exposed to environmental information presented to children.
