A Sense of Place: At Home with Local Natural History

January 2001 · Journal of College Science Teaching

Describes a university course on natural history in which undergraduates and K-12 teachers make four Saturday field trips to observe local natural history. Undergraduates practice carefully and objectively describing the landscape while K-12 science teachers learn about the local geology and ecology that they teach in their earth science, biology, and ecology classes.

The future of ecology humanities using local communities - Focusing on the implication of converged...

January 2017

The subjects of the program conducted at JungGu Youth Center are elementary students from third to sixth grade as well as their parents, and the program progressed for eight weeks for 20 hours. As a result, we could assure the potential for development of local community lifelong converged education programs. Educating ecological humanities showed increased interest, engagement and understanding ... [Show full abstract] of the content of the program compared to separated education of ecology and humanities. Moreover, when local community is utilized as a space for education, local students and their parents can easily obtain access, which can lead to relation improvement and smoother communication between two generations by participating in the same program. In terms of educational effect, students engaging in the program with their parents doubled the learning effect through collaborating and understanding the material together. Thus, ecological humanities education utilizing local community can facilitate the future of the living and open education that overcomes the limitation of public education that is not separated from reality.

August 2017 · The Journal of Environmental Education

In this article we describe the development, implementation, and some of the early impacts of Nurture thru Nature (NtN), an American after-school and summer program designed to introduce elementary school students in disadvantaged, urban public schools to natural science and environmental education. The program, which began operations in 2010 as a collaboration of Rutgers University, Johnson & ... [Show full abstract] Johnson, and New Brunswick, New Jersey, public schools, was motivated by broad concerns over the achievement gap in science and mathematics that has long characterized student performance in the state's suburban and inner-city schools. We present results from a classical experiment conducted in four elementary schools which suggest that NtN does improve grades and knowledge of science and nature.

Ecology, sustainability, and environment as capital

February 1995 · Ecological Economics

Michael Harte

The idea of environment as capital has found widespread support in both the economic and ecological literature. It is often suggested in a related sustainability literature that natural capital should remain intact if possible. The popularity of this approach to exploring the human-environment relationship is due, in part, to the way it is seemingly legitimised by ecological theory and practice. ... [Show full abstract] This legitimation is important for emerging areas of human-environment study, such as ecological economics, because ecology and other natural sciences have often dismissed economic constructions of the environment. However, a closer examination of the state of contemporary ecology suggests that there are problems with an ecological legitimation of the “environment as capital approach.” First, ecology itself is a troubled discipline and its ability to provide a comprehensive theory of human-environment interactions is limited. Second, emerging ecological discourse tends to undermine the ecological rationale for many natural-capital-related resource management recommendations. This does not mean that the environment as capital concept is without considerable heuristic power. It does imply, however, a need to return to a social construction of the environment in which different environmental possibilities are valued in terms of their potential contribution to human well-being.

June 2006 · GAIA - Ecological Perspectives on Science and Society

Christoph Kueffer

Taking ecology as an example, I discuss the contribution of a disciplinary natural science to environmental problem solving. Ecological theory has so far been of limited use for environmental management. I present an ecological research strategy that may be termed integrative ecological research. It seeks to explain the complexity of specific field or real-world situations. I argue that such ... [Show full abstract] research should be viewed as complementary to other types of ecological research, and that it may be of particular relevance for environmental management - for instance, the adaptive management of ecosystems. This analysis is illustrated with a bottom-up research collaboration combining plant-ecological research and ecosystem management in the Seychelles (Indian Ocean).

Evolution, Ecology, and Ethics

May 2001

Anna L. Peterson

This chapter explores the role of anthropological claims in ethics with a look at the ways the natural sciences might contribute to alternative narratives about human nature and relations with the nonhuman world. It discusses the implications of evolutionary theory for human nature and humans' place in nature and looks at the increasingly rich picture of nonhuman behavior provided by studies of ... [Show full abstract] animal behavior. It also evaluates the role of ecological knowledge in ideas about human nature and environmental ethics.

Development of e-Learning instructional materials for the ICNS152 Southeast Asia Ecology Course

January 2012

Ramesh Boonratana

Electronic learning or e-Learning instructional materials were developed for the ICNS152 Southeast Asia Ecology course, a natural science course offered at the Mahidol University International College, Thailand. The course provides an overview of the ecological systems of Southeast Asia and the current impacts and potential threats to them; the protected area system and their roles in protecting ... [Show full abstract] intact ecosystems, in conserving biological diversity, in providing ecological services, and as a key component of ecotourism; and the course looks at the relationship between ecosystem protection and sustainable development, and the international conventions that relate to ecosystem protection. The nature and scope of the course and the diversity of topics and sub-topics offered therein therefore allows for numerous opportunities in the development of e-Learning instructional materials for the course, and some of these are presented here.
