The Subject

Environmental problems endanger the sustainability and survival of our planet. A way to raise awareness of the seriousness of the current environmental situation among future citizens and instill proactive behaviors that place the environment at the center of decision-making is environmental education. This study analyzes nine primary and secondary education textbooks in order to see what environmental education students receive as part of the subject of geography across the years of compulsory education in Spain. These textbooks are published by three different and main companies, which are a good example of the adaptation of the official curriculum. The study was conducted using the design and development of a coding sheet combining analysis of format (quantitative) and content (qualitative). The results show much room for improvement there is in environmental education in Spain. This improvement should start from the organization of the curriculum and its subsequent transposition into the textbooks. Thus, many changes are needed if we wish to build a society capable of effectively solving the threat of the environmental problems that surround us.

ResumoEsse artigo apresenta a percepção de alunos de quarto e quinto ano do Ensino Fundamental, de escolas públicas e privadas, situadas próximas ao rio Belém, na cidade de Curitiba, Estado do Paraná sobre os problemas socioambientais e as práticas de Educação Ambiental desenvolvidas em suas escolas. Realizou-se uma entrevista, contendo três perguntas semiabertas e uma pergunta em que a resposta deveria ser na forma de um desenho. Conclui-se que a percepção dos alunos dos quartos anos é menos elaborada, em relação ao dos alunos de quintos anos. Os alunos apresentam pouco conhecimento dos problemas ambientais, apesar da grande maioria conhecer o rio Belém, embora alguns desconheçam o seu nome. A prática de Educação Ambiental é de caráter intraescolares, sendo relacionada aos conteúdos de animais e plantas, aos rios e a observação da natureza. As metodologias empregadas pelos professores na Educação Ambiental não estão alcançando seus objetivos propostos.Palavras-chave: Percepção ambiental; Educação Ambiental; alunos.  AbstractThis paper presents the perception of fourth and fifth year students at state and private elementary schools located close to the River Belém in Curitiba-PR, Brazil, with regard to socio-environmental problems and environmental education practices undertaken in their schools. They were interviewed using three half-open questions and a fourth question to be answered in the form of a drawing. Results show that perception of fourth year students was lower than that of fifth year students. The students showed little knowledge of environmental problems, despite the majority of them knowing River Belém, although some of them do not know its name.  Environmental Education at the schools is intramural and involves such subject matter as animals, plants, rivers and nature observation. The methodology used by teachers to provide environmental education is not reaching the proposed objective.Keywords: Environmental Perception; Environmental Education; Students. ResumenEn este artículo se muestra la percepción de alumnos de cuarto y quinto grado de las escuelas primarias, tanto públicas como privadas, ubicadas cerca del río Belém, en la ciudad de Curitiba, Estado de Paraná en cuanto a los problemas socio-ambientales. Además, se investigó la percepción de los mismos sobre las actividades de Educación Ambiental desarrolladas en sus escuelas. Se les ha realizado una entrevista con tres preguntas semi-abiertas y una en la que la respuesta debe ser en la forma de un dibujo. Se concluye que la percepción (conocimiento) de los estudiantes de las salas de cuarto grado es menos elaborado en relación con los alumnos quinto grado. Los estudiantes presentan poco conocimiento de los problemas ambientales, a pesar que la mayoría conoce el río Belém, aunque algunos desconocen su nombre. La mayoría de las actividades de Educación Ambiental son de carácter intraescolar, estando relacionados los contenidos con los animales y las plantas, los ríos y la observación de la naturaleza. Las metodologías empleadas por los docentes de Educación Ambiental no están alcanzando los objetivos propuestos.Palabras clave: Percepción ambiental; Educación Ambiental; estudiantes.

Teaching and learning of concepts within the science, technology, society, and environment (STSE) approach, such as energy, are key elements in improving students’ competencies in sustainability within the framework of environmental education. The overall objective of this research has been to analyze the concept of energy in secondary education curriculum from a sustainable perspective. Likewise, the levels of cognitive demand in the curriculum for the students’ acquisition of the concept are analyzed. The design of the research is a descriptive, exploratory type, with mixed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained data. A methodology similar to that carried out in other researches was followed, and an analysis established a system of categories to classify the references found. The results obtained reveal that the regulations that govern teaching of secondary education (12–18 years) deal in depth, and in an compulsory way, with the concept of energy. However, more action is required to promote sustainability at all stages of education, in order to alleviate current and future environmental problems.

Environmental education (EE) institutions worldwide strive to promote awareness and learning related to the protection of the environment and sustainability issues. In this effort, they take stock of the capabilities of online and social media. This paper briefly overviews characteristic examples for the use of social media for environmental education, as well as basic ideas that underpin the use of wikis in particular in education and learning, and discusses the ways in which wikis can be used, within environmental education programs, for raising environmental awareness of primary and secondary education students. This discussion is based on a research project employing wikis and conducted during 2011-2012 in Athens, Greece. The research questions guiding this project, the design and implementation choices of the research, the difficulties encountered and the revisions decided, as well as the research results and findings, together with proposals for further research work, constitute the contents of the paper.

Supply Information

Researches and Studies made by the Department of Oceanography of the Institute of Geoscience of the State University of Rio de Janeiro UERJ, evidenced the need for educational support where environment-related questions were concerned. A wide range of environment problems tend to concentrate in coastal areas, owing to disordinate urban growth combined with the lack of substructure to cope with it A large number of these problems can be minimized through the participation of the local community. Thus the goals of environmental education are to supply information, to promote a change in the population's attitude toward environmental problems, besides stimulating its participation by fostering its sense of responsibility. Preliminary results have demonstrated that the community has shown great interest in the work that has been proposed, and it has contributed with participation, promising response. Environmental education is fundamental when we consider possible solutions for environmental problems in coastal urban centers. Only by educating the main cause of environmental problems, man himself, will it be possible to consider the question starting from its very origin. This abstract presents two pioneer experiments in the Municipio of Rio de Janeiro, which are “Muito Prazer Marapendi” (“Glad to know you, Marapendi”) and “Troca de Areias da Praia de Copacabana” (“Exchange of Sands in Copacabana Beach”).

Partnership Program

Environmental education is needed to increase community resillience, with knowledge and skills in order to understand environmental problems, be motivated to act, and solve or prevent certain environmental problems. Building social resilience in utilizing while preserving the environment is one of the important factors for sustainable environmental management. One of the efforts is by increasing people's understanding and love of biodiversity in order to increase their motivation to manage it sustainably. To provide an engaging and dynamic learning environment for Generation Z or gen Z, a creative approach is adopted that combines technology with social interaction and feedback that stimulates curiosity and motivation, and simulates real-life situations. The problem agreed upon by the team of this program and partners was the students' low recognition of biodiversity and its function for the environment. In the long term, this could have implications for a lack of appreciation for biodiversity, including a low appreciation for the presence of plants and animals endemic to North Sulawesi. The solution applied is to introduce various types of plants and animals, with an emphasis on endemic species, and their benefits for humans and the environment. After the community partnership program (PKM, Program Kemitraan Maysarakat), the student groups of SDN 36 and SDN 70 Kota Manado (main target) as well as teachers and students involved (additional targets) increase their knowledge about biodiversity and its function for the environment and can apply planting and maintaining various local fruit-producing trees in schools and the surrounding environment. The community partnership program activities are carried out in Kelurahan Kleak, Malalayang District, Manado City, North Sulawesi Province for six (6) months. The service is carried out in several activities as follows. 1) Inventory of the school environment situation and student behavior in relation to their interactions with biodiversity. 2) Programming with partners. 3) Preparation of teaching modules. 4) Implementation of outreach activities in the form of webinars with active involvement of learners through presentations accompanied by interactive discussions. 5) Planting and distributing various types of plant seeds. 6) Preparing reports and writing articles for scientific publications.

Environmental Understanding

Environmental education (EE) is an integration of environmental understanding with formal or informal education. EE is expected to help students gain understanding on the awareness and knowledge about the environment to further shape student attitudes. From these understanding, skills and abilities will emerge so that students can actively participate and become agents in solving environmental problems. The concept of EE itself can be traced back to the 18th century, although globally, those engaged in the environmental sector began to strive to develop a more measurable EE concept since the 1970s. The legal basis also varies, with application models that adapt to each distinctive environment. Adiwiyata is a form of EE managed by the government through the integration of two important ministries, namely the ministry that deals with environmental issues and the ministry that deals with education. This study was intended to find out whether Adiwiyata was in accordance with the EE concept that was agreed upon globally. In particular, the implementation of the Adiwiyata Program in Surabaya City is the focus of this paper based on the results of research on the environment in 2019 which have been published. The environmental awareness of Adiwiyata School in Surabaya City is quite high and the concept developed by the Surabaya City Government is very solid that involves all parties.AbstrakPendidikan lingkungan hidup (PLH) merupakan pengintegrasian pemahaman lingkungan hidup dengan pendidikan formal atau pendidikan informal. PLH diharapkan dapat membantu siswa memperoleh kesadaran dan pengetahuan mengenai lingkungan hidup untuk selanjutnya dapat membentuk sikap siswa. Dari pemahaman tersebut akan muncul keterampilan dan kecakapan sehingga siswa dapat berpartisipasi aktif dan menjadi agen dalam memecahkan masalah lingkungan. Konsep PLH sendiri dapat ditelusuri sampai abad ke-18, walaupun secara global, mereka yang bergerak di bidang lingkungan hidup mulai berupaya untuk menyusun konsep PLH yang lebih terukur sejak tahun 1970-an. Dasar hukumnya pun beragam, dengan model penerapan yang menyesuaikan dengan lingkungan masing-masing. Adiwiyata merupakan salah satu bentuk PLH yang dikelola pemerintah dengan mengintegrasikan dua kementerian penting, yaitu kementerian yang menangani masalah lingkungan hidup dan kementerian yang menangani pendidikan. Kajian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui apakah Adiwiyata sudah sesuai dengan konsep PLH yang disepakati secara global. Secara khusus, pelaksanaan Program Adiwiyata di Kota Surabaya menjadi fokus dari tulisan ini berdasarkan hasil penelitian tentang lingkungan di tahun 2019 yang telah dibukukan. Kesadaran lingkungan Sekolah Adiwiyata di Kota Surabaya sudah cukup tinggi dan konsep yang dikembangkan oleh Pemerintah Kota (Pemkot) Surabaya sangat solid dengan melibatkan semua pihak.
