Children’S Thinking

The attitudes towards economic and industrial understanding of 58 primary student-teachers who had taken a business placement in their final year of training is explored through questionnaires, interviews and assignments. An analysis showed that economic and industrial understanding did not rank highly in their priorities for Primary pupils, confirming the findings of Ross, Ahier & Hutchings (1991). They were, however, interested in business links and industrial simulations as a context for their priorities in teaching of active learning, co-operation and other personal and social skills. Another of their priorities, linked particularly to environmental protection and conservation, was a sense of responsibility and social conscience. A way forward may be to provide teachers with a conceptual framework for economic concepts which is consonant with those priorities and to take advantage of the current interest in moral education and citizenship to re-focus economics education on using economic concepts as a tool to extend children's thinking on a wide variety of issues in those areas.

Affective Dimensions

The serious and growing impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) on the planet make it necessary to include this issue with greater determination in educational programs, with the aim of generating citizens capable of dealing with this environmental problem in a sustainable way. Likewise, the management of IAS represents a clear socio-scientific issue (SSI), which gives greater interest to its inclusion in school. At this point, future teachers play a key role, so that their knowledge, perceptions and attitudes on the subject must be evaluated. In order to deal with this objective, a questionnaire was filled out by 400 students of the degrees in early childhood education and primary education of the Universities of La Rioja (UR) and the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Spain. Our results show that pre-service teachers do not perceive impacts of different types generated by IAS, and they show a clear lack of knowledge about transmission vectors. Likewise, they do not support various control measures, especially slaughter of invasive vertebrates, related to affective dimensions. These results highlight the need to work toward an appropriate integration of this issue at different educational levels, training students and educators, fostering favorable attitudes toward a sustainable management of IAS.
