In this article, we adopt assemblage as "methodology" and as a way to foreground the vitality and relational agency of other species as they encounter humans. Research as assemblage is a process of becoming with others, and we experienced that ontological process during three environmental excursions as we became entangled in…

Marina Pliushchik; Tuure Tammi; Pauliina Rautio – Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
Responses in resisting and subverting capitalist structures and practices often foreground imagination and experimentation. In environmental and sustainability education, imagination has been previously called upon as a way to sympathetically engage learners in environmental issues or to conjure alternative futures. But what other possibilities…

Eimear Mc Loughlin – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Choreographed encounters with death in Copenhagen Zoo, such as school and public dissections, emphasize the importance of touch and are underpinned by the moral imperative to understand the nature of life and death. Such encounters are framed by zoo educators as contributing to a deeper environmental awareness. Taking the role of dead animals in…

In the state of Queensland, volunteers perform much of the work needed to prevent the extinction of threatened species who are native and unique to this continent. Acting from an understanding of interspecies justice, caring people rescue and rehabilitate hundreds of thousands of wild animals every year. Many of these same people conduct informal…

Wildlife-human relations in the United States are predominantly influenced by Euro-American sociocultural dynamics and (neo)colonial legacies. Humans dominate nonhuman animals through violence, suffering, and death. Wildlife management as a practice is becoming increasingly criticized. Disagreement emerges from epistemological and ontological…

Oihana Barrutia; Oier Pedrera; Unai Ortega-Lasuen; José Ramón Díez – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Biodiversity loss is one of the biggest environmental issues in the world today and the biodiversity literacy of citizens can be key to counteracting this. Considering that children can be change agents and actively take part in decision-making from early years, we have assessed the native fauna identification skills of Primary School students…

Larson, Lincoln R.; Rivera-Zuniga, Josselyn; Garst, Barry A.; Keith, Samuel; Sudman, Danny; Browne, Laurie – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2023
Our study explored current environmental sustainability practices of U.S. camps as well as the motivations and barriers influencing integration of sustainable operational approaches. Using a web survey of camp organizations in Spring 2021, we identified participation in sustainable actions across five broad categories: waste management,…

Salazar, Gabby; Ramakrishna, Ishika; Satheesh, Nitya; Mills, Morena; Monroe, Martha C.; Karanth, Krithi K. – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2022
People's attitudes influence the nature of their interactions with wildlife and support for conservation. Globally, many environmental education programs seek to influence children's attitudes toward wildlife and the environment. Understanding these attitudes requires assessment tools that are appropriate to the context and culture. However, most…

Posthumanist orientations have underlined the need to foster non-hierarchical relations with other-than-human beings to adequately attend to planetary crises and help life to survive and flourish. Since a posthumanist critique towards natural sciences has mostly leaned on questioning the premise of human subjects making sense of objectified…

Regular evaluation of environmental education is important for quality assurance and the self-assessment of educational institutions such as zoos. However, capacity is often lacking. Therefore, this study presents instruments that can be used to track the impact of educational programs on connection to nature, interest in species conservation,…

Hsu, Chia-Hsuan; Lin, Te-En – Environmental Education Research, 2023
Citizen science is a key approach in scientific research that involves crowdsourced data collection for environmental monitoring and conservation. Participants in citizen science can gain scientific knowledge, change their pro-environmental attitude and behavior. Taiwan Roadkill Observation Network (TaiRON) was founded in 2011 and has a community…

Museum-based settings such as zoos provide a unique opportunity to engage educators in professional development opportunities. For instance, zoo settings can provide professional development opportunities focused on facilitating learning through a lens of conservation action to promote sustained action by teachers and their students. In this…

Place-based education (PBE) offers teachers a unique opportunity to increase engagement and academic outcomes while strengthening students' connections to their environment and inspiring future conservation. In most instances, classroom teachers must independently choose to implement PBE, such as when discussing topics surrounding wildlife and the…

Emily Nelson; Bronwen Cowie – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Student agency theorising traditionally positions individuals as sovereign and under-theorises the role non-human material elements play in enacting agency. We recognise the role of the material but to honour our research participants and context we adopt an asymmetrical view of the agency of the material non-human in relation to the human in…

Adair, Athena – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Largely due to human contributions, global climate degradation continues to rise. To delve into possible solutions for this issue, the relationship between wildlife conservation behaviors of high school graduates and high school environmental studies is examined. Participants engaged in an online survey, in which they indicate wildlife…
