Reflecting on Environmental Education: Where Is Our Place in the Green Movement?
TLDR
In this article, the authors call for a reflection on environmental education's presence within the budding sustainability movement and call for the "humanization" of environmental education discourse and pedagogical practice.Abstract:
Recently the environmental movement has seen much success and progress under a newly-framed green paradigm. Yet, despite the proliferation of national attention to, and public interest in, the go-green mentality, environmental education still seems to be stuck within the old environmental paradigm. This critical essay shares lessons that environmental education can learn through incorporating a human benefits approach. Ultimately, this essay calls for a reflection on environmental education's presence within the budding sustainability movement and calls for the “humanization” of environmental education discourse and pedagogical practice.read more
