As systematic reviews (SRs) of research increase in number, the methods used to conduct the analyses are becoming more diversified. While named in the methodological literature as an analytical approach, grounded theory (GT) is not frequently used as an approach in SRs; when it is, reviewers typically emphasize the use of GT coding and constant…

Given that young children will become the next generation of adults, it is important that they are educated about sustainability issues so that they can take positive action to help preserve their future in a changing world. In this article, the author describes how primary children can learn how to help to look after the planet and explores how…

Despite the acceleration of climate change, figuring out ways to productively talk about it remains difficult in some places. So where do we begin? As rhetoricians, we believe that studying discourse provides insight. Herndl and Brown describe environmental discourse as a historically developed cultural form maintained by rhetorical activity (9).…

Issues of sustainability, plus how to both prepare students and lead organizations in working for sustainability, often remain a curricular afterthought for higher education administration. While recent research on sustainability education has advocated for embedding sustainability in all coursework across curricula, Higher Education and Student…

Set within a theatrical unfolding of global youth climate movements, this paper explores the role of digital media in staging new possibilities for climate change education and activism. We engage Deleuze's method of dramatisation to theorise how young people are using digital platforms to perform climate activism and construct new political…

Programs that emphasize the important, multifaceted roles that soils play as the interfaces between humanity and the earth are needed to attract new students from diverse backgrounds. The Basic and Environmental Soil Science Training Research Experience for Undergraduates (BESST REU) site aims to provide undergraduates from a variety of science,…

This article investigates the position of environmental education in the primary school curriculum over the past 150 years in the Republic of Ireland. The extent of how wider social, political, and cultural developments influence the way in which teachers and learners experience environmental education can be seen through the curricular changes.…

The University of Montana's Research Education on Air and Cardiovascular Health (REACH) Program works with teachers to engage high school juniors and seniors in rudimentary real-world scientific research with the goals of improving their understanding of and interest in science, and to increase their interest in science careers. To evaluate the…

Recently there has been an increase in scientists, educators, and activists moving into comedy to tell the climate story. Could using humour as an educational method encourage a greater response to the climate crisis? The present research addresses this question by exploring the impact that an environmental-based comedy show had on various…

This article brings together a feminist environmentalist cartoonist with a feminist environmental educator in an exploration of the generativity of cartoons in environmental education research and teaching. Using duoethnography as a methodology, and drawing on critical and new materialist feminist theory, we explore our personal memories, stories,…

Climate change education (CCE) and environmental education (EE) seek ways for us humans to keep inhabiting Earth. We present a thought experiment adopting the perspective of Earth-settlers, aiming to illuminate the planetary mass of technology. By elaborating Hannah Arendt's notion of 'earth alienation' and Bruno Latour's notion of technology as…

This article aims to understand how students aged 14-17 from different contexts in France consider the issues related to the Seine. 20 interviews were carried out focusing on the implementation of an educational approach enabling students to grasp the priority issues associated with the sustainable development of the Seine. The analysis brings out…

A perennial goal of science educators is to develop functional scientific literacy in their students, especially those who will not become professional scientists. This article provides an example of implementing a socioscientific issues approach in an undergraduate environmental science course that enables students to develop the knowledge,…

Environmental issues in online newspapers allow environmental course instructors to examine social scientific topics in a sustainable. However, it remains a problem for instructors to fully examine the dimensions of knowledge connected to the environment in online newspapers. The purpose of this research is to develop a fundamental framework for…

The instantaneous movement of information and imagery in the current era has fundamentally altered our constructions of reality as the outer world of media becomes a central aspect of the "inner world of society" (Beck, 1996, p.1). In this vein, the very stuff that makes up knowledge, the basic building blocks of our cognition are also…
