Book Description
La formación de educadoras y educadores ambientales en la Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México (UACM), ha sido uno de los objetivos primordiales a los que se ha orientado esta institución desde los primeros momentos de su creación. En su seno, oferta el programa académico de la maestría en Educación Ambiental, el cual busca concretar nuevas respuestas educativas a los problemas ambientales que se viven en los diferentes puntos del país, y de manera particular, en la Ciudad de México, a fin de revelar otros futuros posibles para todos, donde el respeto por la condición humana y la protección del medio ambiente sean dos aspectos inseparables. En este marco, el programa de la maestría en Educación Ambiental hace un alto en el camino para tratar de averiguar cuáles han sido algunos de los senderos que ha transitado en su objetivo ineludible de formar educadores ambientales; indaga sobre los conocimientos, habilidades y destrezas adquiridas por los estudiantes y busca comprender cómo se han materializado en prácticas pedagógicas concretas, al tiempo que pretende reflexionar sobre la forma en que sus egresados se asumen como educadores ambientales y muestra algunas las perspectivas de futuro que le otorgan a la educación ambiental en los años por venir. Así, los escritos que integran este volumen muestran distintas miradas al trabajo profesional de los egresados, donde se sitúan algunos análisis y reflexiones en torno a los hallazgos y propuestas, producto de la visión particular de cada uno de sus autores, esto con la intención de compartir un primer acercamiento al campo de la educación ambiental, y de manera concreta, una perspectiva de análisis sobre el quehacer educativo-ambiental de los egresados de este programa académico.

The Failure of Environmental Education (And How We Can Fix It)
Author: Charles Saylan
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520265386
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
“The hope for the future depends on teaching current and future students the analytical and critical thinking skills for dealing with the most critical problems. My own hope is for this book to be read by everyone, even those outside the field of environmental education. Read this book, read it again, share it widely, and do something - anything - to help our needy and wounded planet."-Marc Bekoff, author of The Animal Manifesto: Six Reasons For Expanding Our Compassion Footprint "Saylan and Blumstein provide a compelling vision of what can be, and what should be, if we have the courage to open our eyes and the boldness to act.”-Peter Saundry, Ph.D., Executive Director of the National Council for Science and the Environment “A clarion call to incorporate environmental education in all grades K-12, across all academic disciplines, in order to produce future generations of environmental stewards."-Mark Gold, President, Heal The Bay "We need a sea change in the educational system. After all, if we can teach schoolchildren that vandalism is wrong, why can we not teach them that environmental destruction is wrong? This book is a haunting call to action. A beautifully written manifesto that gets it right."-Ron Swaisgood, Director of Applied Animal Ecology, Institute for Conservation Research, San Diego Zoo Global “The greatest threat to the future of all species on the planet is the huge gap between what is understood about global climate change by the scientific community and what is known about climate change by the people who need to know -- the public. The sound prescriptions in this book need to be read now. We are running out of time.”-Dr. James Hansen, world-renowned climatologist and author of Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity “Environmental education is a disaster and educating the public on environmental issues is the greatest challenge facing humanity today. This book will help us understand why we are headed toward the collapse of civilization, and more important, how to fix it. Packed with sound science, useful information, and brilliant ideas, it is a book we must read, and give, to our local school boards and principals nationwide. Our children will thank us."-Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb and Humanity on a Tightrope

Teaching Tech Together
Author: Greg Wilson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000728153
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

Educación Medioambiental Para Educadores
Author: Joaquim Carlos Lourenço
Publisher: Clube de Autores
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : es
Pages : 0
Book Description
La educación ambiental es una herramienta esencial para concienciar a la población de la importancia de preservar el medio ambiente y adoptar prácticas de consumo sostenible en el día a día. En este proceso de concienciación, el educador ambiental tiene un papel fundamental, ya que es el encargado de transmitir información y estimular la reflexión sobre temas medioambientales. Su principal objetivo es concienciar ecológicamente a las personas, fomentando el cambio de comportamiento y el compromiso con acciones encaminadas a preservar el medio ambiente. En esta perspectiva, en este libro se discuten varios conceptos relacionados con la educación ambiental, como las prácticas sostenibles de desarrollo y producción de alimentos, la gestión de residuos sólidos, la preservación de la fauna y la flora, las fuentes de energía limpia, los impactos ambientales negativos de la explotación intensiva de los recursos naturales, el cambio climático, entre otros. También abordamos la importancia de concienciar sobre el medio ambiente en las escuelas mediante proyectos de educación ambiental que fomenten la participación activa de los alumnos. Además, destacamos la relevancia del conocimiento de los conceptos ecológicos por parte de los educadores ambientales para una actuación eficaz y fundamentada. La educación ambiental es una herramienta fundamental para construir un mundo más sostenible, y el educador ambiental es una pieza clave en este proceso. A través de acciones prácticas y de la concienciación, podemos construir un futuro más equilibrado y armonioso con el medio ambiente. El contenido de este libro le ayudará, como educador ambiental, a desarrollar mejor su labor de sensibilización de la población. Tenga en cuenta que, sin embargo, la intención del autor no era agotar por completo los fundamentos teóricos que sustentan la educación ambiental, sólo ofrecer un marco de conceptos e ideas bien estructurado para el educador ambiental principiante o no, utilizar como guía en su proceso de difusión de la conciencia ecológica. La literatura disponible que aborda este tema, en particular, es aún incipiente, por no hablar de la forma errónea o simplista de tratar el contenido, que por lo general se discute disciplinariamente, mientras que la educación ambiental tiene un sesgo sistémico, es decir, multidisciplinario. Además, muchos educadores del país no tienen una formación específica en educación ambiental, por lo que trabajar este tema en el aula es un desafío. Al darme cuenta de esta laguna, preparé este libro, pensando exclusivamente en ayudarles. La educación ambiental es una actividad multidisciplinar, por lo que profesionales de cualquier área de conocimiento pueden ser educadores ambientales.

Boundaries
Author: Christine E. Gudorf
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
ISBN: 1589016858
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
In this expanded and revised edition of a fresh and original case-study textbook on environmental ethics, Christine Gudorf and James Huchingson continue to explore the line that separates the current state of the environment from what it should be in the future. Boundaries begins with a lucid overview of the field, highlighting the key developments and theories in the environmental movement. Specific cases offer a rich and diverse range of situations from around the globe, from saving the forests of Java and the use of pesticides in developing countries to restoring degraded ecosystems in Nebraska. With an emphasis on the concrete circumstances of particular localities, the studies continue to focus on the dilemmas and struggles of individuals and communities who face daunting decisions with serious consequences. This second edition features extensive updates and revisions, along with four new cases: one on water privatization, one on governmental efforts to mitigate global climate change, and two on the obstacles that teachers of environmental ethics encounter in the classroom. Boundaries also includes an appendix for teachers that describes how to use the cases in the classroom.

The Geography of Childhood
Author: Gary Paul Nabhan
Publisher: Beacon Press (MA)
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
"In this unique collaboration, naturalists Gary Nabhan and Stephen Trimble investigate how children come to care deeply about the natural world. They ask searching questions about what may happen to children denied exposure to wild places - a reality for more children today than at any time in human history." "The authors remember pivotal events in their own childhood that led each to a life-long relationship with the land: Nabhan's wanderings in the wasteland of steel mills and power plants of Gary, Indiana, and in the Indiana Dunes; Trimble's travels in the West with a geologist father. They tell stories of children learning about wild places and creatures in settings ranging from cities and suburbs to isolated Nevada sheep ranches to Native American communities in the Southwest and Mexico." "The Geography of Childhood draws insights from fields as various as evolutionary biology, child psychology, education, and ethnography. The book urges adults to rethink our children's contact with nature. Small children have less need for large-scale wilderness than for a garden, gully, or field to create a crucial tie to the natural world. Nabhan suggests that traditional wilderness-oriented rites of passage may help cure the alienation of adolescence: "Those who as adolescents fail to pass through such rites remain in an arrested state of immaturity for the remainder of their lives." Trimble's fatherhood leads him to question how we grant different freedoms to girls and boys in their exploration of nature - and how this bias powerfully affects adult lives. Both authors return to their experiences with indigenous peoples to show how nature is taught and wilderness understood in cultures historically grounded outside of America's cities and suburbs." "The Geography of Childhood makes clear how human growth remains rooted, as it always has, both in childhood and in wild landscapes. It is an essential book for all parents and teachers who wonder what our children may miss if they never experience local wildlife or wild landscapes."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
