Ilkka Ratinen; Jubeen Sharbaf Kashani; Lassi Linnanen – Environmental Education Research, 2025
Current environmental risks, such as climate change and nature loss, force us to look for solutions in every sector of society. A successful sustainability transition requires the manipulation of deep systemic leverage points. Hence, a deep leverage point framework based on sustainability competencies is needed to conceptualise sustainability…

Verma, Shiv Kumar; Punekar, Ravi Mokashi – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Nature-inspired designs/organic designs exhibit a very close resemblance with nature especially in terms of form and structure. Form giving for organic design is a special class of design problem that involves the use of inspiration and analogies from nature for creative problem-solving. There is insufficient research in understanding this…

Mareike Schauss; Eva Nöthen; Marie-Paulina Ottosander; Sandra Sprenger – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2024
With the "pictorial turn", the picture has gained a new significance as a medium. It is impossible to imagine a digitalized world affected by mass media without pictures. While there are several studies on the impact of pictures in the discourse on climate change in the media, there has been no analysis of the visual representation of…

Wily Hartanto; Tarzan Purnomo; Pramita Yakub – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Environmental problems caused by waste and exploitation of natural resources can be exacerbated by a lack of awareness and concern for the environment. One of the contributing factors is the lack of utilization of learning resources and environmental-based media in education. This study aims to develop and validate a teaching module based on the…

White, Holly; Lally, Diane; Forbes, Cory T. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Groundwater is a critical component of the global water cycle and standards-based topic within science education. However, students articulate an array of ideas about groundwater systems, including their natural and human elements. One way to support students' learning about groundwater systems is through the use of data-driven, computer-based…

Lottero-Perdue, Pamela; Haines, Sarah; Baranowski, Alison; Kenny, Patricia – Science and Children, 2020
This article describes a lesson in which fourth-grade students create a habitat for terrapins while reducing erosion. A client and their needs were presented to the students: The city purchased a piece of shoreline on the bay previously owned by a private company. The company had started to develop the land, exposing soil up to the water's edge.…

Eagle-Malone, Rebecca S. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Biomimicry, the process of using nature to guide innovative thinking and development, can be useful in helping students grasp scientific concepts. Teachers interested in incorporating biomimicry into lesson plans might find that experiential learning at informal science institutions (ISIs) with natural models and artifacts is a valuable tool to…

Ruth, Taylor K.; Rumble, Joy N.; Lamm, Alexa J.; Ellis, Jason D. – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2018
Agricultural educators, leaders, communicators, and extension professionals are faced with the increasingly difficult task of sharing science-based information to a public that is exposed to an array of media options, which are not always factual. Additionally, issues related to agriculture and natural resources (ANR) have become increasingly…

Reed, Megan H.; Jenkins, Tom; Kenyon, Lisa – Science Teacher, 2019
Nitrogen- or phosphorus-based fertilizers, used in agriculture, can run off into nearby waterways during periods of heavy rain or high flow and cause harmful blooms (Paerl et al. 2016), low oxygen (Joyce 2000), and decreased biodiversity (Sebens 1994). Studies of the effects wetlands can have on water and habitat quality (Verhoeven and Meuleman…

Venugopal, Pingali; Kour, Harwinder – Industry and Higher Education, 2021
Human production and consumption activities are depleting the earth's resources faster than they are being replenished. The Global Footprint network estimates "Earth Overshoot Day 2020" (the day the use of natural resources during the year crosses the regeneration capacity for the year) to be 22 August. A shift from linear to circular…

Rappleye, Jeremy; Komatsu, Hikaru – Comparative Education, 2020
Educational scholars, particularly those working in comparative education, have largely failed to recognise, let alone discuss, the impending finite-ness of global resources. The field continues to operate on an assumption of infinite resources, an implicit cultural horizon in place since at least the Western Enlightenment. It has missed the…

Margarita, Rasilla Cano; Argelia, Juárez Ruiz Lidia – Educational Research and Reviews, 2016
The IPN Oaxaca CIIDIR has a mission to train human resources to postgraduate level that contribute to sustainable regional development in the South-East of Mexico. This is a vulnerable region that boasts an important source of natural resources and a great social, economic and technological backwardness that is directly related to the educational…

Ampatzidis, Georgios; Ergazaki, Marida – Science & Education, 2018
This article reports on the theoretical output of a design research study, which concerns the design of a learning environment (LE) for helping students challenge the 'balance of nature'-idea and reach an up-to-date understanding about ecosystems' contingency. Our focus is set on whether it is feasible to articulate an empirically tested theory of…

Taylor, Affrica – Environmental Education Research, 2017
Interdisciplinary Anthropocene debates are prompting calls for a paradigm shift in thinking about what it means to be human and about our place and agency in the world. Within environmental education, sustainability remains centre stage and oddly disconnected from these Anthropocene debates. Framed by humanist principles, most sustainability…
