Environmental damage that occurred in Indonesia in the last three decades is due to human behavior by exploiting and depleting the universe in order to meet the interests and needs of human’s life. The objectives of this research were (1) to find out the direct effect of the students’environmental knowledge towards the environmental awareness, (2) to find out the indirect effect of the students' environmental knowledge towards the environmental awareness through ethics, (3) to find out the direct effect of student's ethics on environmental awareness. The sample of this research was the students of economic education who hadlearned the subject of environmental education. The researcher used a quantitative approach with explanatory research design to explain the state of each variable. Two things that contribute to environmental awareness were ethics and environmental knowledge. The results of this study showed that environmental and ethical knowledge significantly influenced environmental awareness. The environmental knowledge will shape students' attitudes and ethics towards the environment.

Way Of Knowing

The importance of imagination in education has a significant history (Egan, 1986, 2001; Eisner, 1976; Greene, 1988; Steiner, 1954; Warnock, 1976); however, scholarship is often theoretical, and the involvement of imagination in understanding sustainability is often overlooked (Jones, 1995; Judson, 2010; Stewart, 2009). Imagination has rarely been the subject of Environmental Education (EE) and research. Its nature is contested, and its workings can be concealed by formal notions of knowing and learning. Contemporary environmental philosophies argue that education can often contradict its aims through limited understandings of environment and knowledge (Orr, 1991, 1992; Weir, 2008; Whitehouse, 2011). This thesis reconceptualises imagination as a way of knowing and learning in environmental terms. The study investigates the role of imagination in Education for Sustainability (EfS) contexts and critically analyses how imagination is involved in understanding sustainability for teachers and learners. The possibility of imaginationasenvironmental knowledge, and as essential to resolving environmental problems, is applied in this research.

Ecological Behavior

Pro-ecological behavior of consumers on the food market is conditioned by many factors, among which the literature on the subject particularly indicates, is high environmental awareness. Among other factors, the influence of social groups is also emphasized, in relation to young consumers; these are mainly peers and friends, which was confirmed by the authors’ research. The aim of the research was to identify the role of ecological awareness and influence on the food purchasing habits of young consumers in shaping their pro-ecological behavior. Based on the literature on the subject, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the empirical material, reducing the number of dimensions through the use of factor analysis. Analyzing the collected material, the authors proposed three latent variables—ecological awareness (EA), impact on food preferences (IFP), and ecological behavior (EB). Hidden variables were defined by explicit variables, and the whole was characterized in the light of the literature. The research results indicated that there are significant correlations between all latent variables, however the strongest one could be observed between EA and EB. This proves that the ecological behavior of young consumers is strongly determined by their environmental awareness.

The role of mathematics in several scientific disciplines is undisputed; work and everyday life take great advantage of its application. Nevertheless, students often tend to not particularly like it and to consider it of little interest. It is also believed that only people with a certain attitude are capable of mastering the subject. In consideration of this, we aimed to help science students develop mathematical competences by designing a course specifically oriented to applications and problem solving. We administered our course to students attending the first year of a program in biotechnology, asking them to work with technologies instilling curiosity and interest, thus achieving a better proficiency as a consequence. Two questionnaires, along with access and proficiency data, allowed us to collect information about students’ attitudes, beliefs, and activity, which we analyzed by means of descriptive statistics. The promotion of the interaction among learners made them active users of the contents, thus allowing for the adaptation of their learning paths according to their personal necessities, as well as the development of teamwork skills and flexibility. Finally, students recognized the usefulness of the problem-solving approach and the role played by software.

Abstract Background Promoting the link between human and ecosystem health is crucial for building resilient communities. Hillwalking provides health benefits arising from physical activity and exposure to nature. Furthermore, it is likely to influence environmental knowledge and pro-environmental behaviour through connectedness to nature. This project aimed to explore 1) hillwalking and walk leading motivations and perceived benefits, and 2) the role of the environment and nature connectedness among walk leaders and walking holiday guests. Methods The first study was completed with seventeen volunteer walk leaders and used a mixed methods design: hillwalking interviews, physical activity measurements, location data and the Nature-relatedness scale. The second study involved five group interviews with the total of twenty-five guests on three different walking holidays. The qualitative data from both studies were analysed using a combined thematic and grounded theory approach and the results were merged with the quantitative data to explore the impacts of environmental factors. Results Primary motivations for hillwalking included pleasure, escape from everyday life pressures, to re-charge, being in nature, social inclusion and health. Emerging overarching themes such as balance and adaptation were reported as essential values for walking and were linked to nutritional, physical activity related and environmental aspects of health awareness. The perceived benefits positively impacted on engagement. Connectedness to nature was linked to environmental knowledge and attitudes which manifested in pro-environmental walking behaviour. Conclusions The pleasure arising from several aspects of hillwalking or walk leading was the drive for regular engagement, therefore a primary intrinsic motivation. The results imply that attending group walking holidays has the scope to increase environmental awareness and engagement in outdoor physical activity and could be considered as a promotion tool. Key messages The findings have the scope to inform future walking promotion programs and encourage long-term engagement by shifting the focus of promotion messages to intrinsic motivational factors. The results support that hillwalking can be used as a tool for combined health and environmental awareness promotion.

During the recent decades, raising the level of environmental awareness has become one of the main social goals, which has reached a level of social and political consensus never seen before. Education can be the catalyst that changes people’s behavior regarding the environment (Zsóka et al., 2013; Schultz, 2014). Many studies have demonstrated a positive link between education level and pro-environmental behavior (Fernandez-Manzanal et al., 2007; Levine and Strube, 2012; Meyer, 2015; Monier et al., 2009). In Morocco, as in many countries of the world, human behavior towards the environment has been defective. However, the country has been taking a number of steps to protect the environment. There have been few researchers investigating the role of universities as agents contributing to environmental awareness, especially engineering schools. Engineering work has a significant effect on the world. The advent of engineers, engineering work, and engineering schooling is closely related to countries development (Downey and Lucena 2004, Downey and Lucena 2005). This paper aims to analyze the relationship between 3 factors: the sources of environmental issues, the acquired knowledge and the pro-environmental behavior to protect the environment. In order to do that, a survey of 141 engineering students has been assessed in 5 different engineering schools and the results have then shown that the sources of information is the internet and this source doesn’t lead to accountability of the individuals. Furthermore, the taken actions for the environment rarely include trash sorting, paper and meat consumption.

Five posters in the group of solar physics have been presented at this meeting on “Highly Energetic Physical Processes and Mechanisms for Emissions from Astrophysical Plasmas”. Four of these posters were dealing with aspects of solar flares, the most energetic processes observed in the solar corona, while one poster dealt with active regions. Although the most energetic particles in solar flares (E < 108 eV) do not compete with the most energetic cosmic rays (E > 1018.5 eV) observed in the rest of the universe, similar particle-acceleration mechanisms (electric fields, stochastic acceleration, shocks) are investigated for both phenomena. On the other hand, some highly efficient acceleration mechanisms operating in astrophysical plasmas (e.g., E x B drift in rapidly rotating B-fields on pulsars) are definitely not applicable to solar flares. However, a common theme in both astrophysical and solar acceleration processes is the role of magnetic reconnection, which was also the subject in one or the other form in all of the five presented solar posters. The joint venture of astrophysical and solar participants of this workshop contributed therefore nicely to a cross-fertilization of these common physical themes in both disciplines.
