“Doğadaki çocuk, soyu tehlike altında olan bir türdür ve çocukların sağlığı ile yeryüzünün sağlığı birbirine sıkı sıkıya bağlıdır.” R.Louv. Değişen yaşam tarzı ve ilerleyen teknoloji insanların hem doğayı algılamalarında hem de doğayla olan ilişkilerinde etkili olmuş, doğa ile insan arasındaki ilişki neredeyse kopma noktasına gelmiştir; bu da günümüzdeki çevre sorunlarının giderek artmasına, insanı hem psikolojik hem de fizyolojik olarak olumsuz etkileyen bir süreç yaşanmasına sebebiyet vermiştir (Tuğun, Uzunboylu & Özdamlı, 2017). Buradan yola çıkarak Birleşmiş Milletler çevre gündemini 2017 yılını doğa ile insan arasındaki bağın oluşturulması temeline dayandırmıştır. Bu çalışmanın da amacı, hem çevre sorunlarını çözebilme anlamında hem de insan ile doğa arasındaki bağı yeniden kurup daha sağlıklı, daha çevreci bireyler yetiştirmek kapsamında önemli, etkin bir çevre eğitimi yaklaşımı olan doğa eğitimini de içine alan yer/yöre temelli ve sınıfdışı çevre eğitiminin son 5 yıllık süreçteki ilerleyişini incelenmesine yönelik bir içerik analizi yapıp methodoloji, konu alanı, veri toplama, veri analizi vs. boyutlarına ilişkin yönelimleri belirlemektir. Çalışma sonucunda yer/yöre temelli ve sınıfdışı çevre eğitimi alanlarında scopus veri tabanında yapılan tarama ve eleme sonucu ulaşılan makaleler incelendiğinde en çok araştırmanın 19 ile ABD’ de yapıldığı; en çok çalışmanın ise 15 ile 2014 yılında üretildiği; 3 ile en çok Edinburgh üniversitesinde ve Environmental Education Research dergisinde yayın çıktığı görülmüştür. Anahtar kelimelerde en çok kullanılan ‘’çevre eğitimi’’ iken, ‘’sınıfdışı eğitim’’ onu takip etmektedir. Çalışmalarda genel olarak İngilizce yazım dili iken en çok sosyal bilimler alanında akabinde çevre bilimleri alanında çalışma yapıldığı; SPSS analiz programının, likert ölçek veri toplama aracının kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Çevre Eğitimi, yer/yöre temelli çevre eğitimi, sınıfdışı çevre eğitimi.

Constructing Knowledge

Abstract This paper proposes some possibilities for thinking with a landscape as a pedagogical concept, inspired by posthuman theory. The idea of thinking with a landscape is enacted in the Australian Alps (AA), concentrating on the contentious environmental dilemma involving introduced horses and their management in this bio-geographical location. The topic of horses is of pedagogical relevance for place-responsive outdoor environmental educators as both a location-specific problem and an example of a troubling issue. The paper has two objectives for employing posthuman thinking. Firstly, it experiments with the alternative methodological possibilities that posthuman theory affords for outdoor environmental education, including new ways of conducting educational research. Secondly, it explores how thinking with a landscape as a pedagogical concept may help open ways of considering the dilemma that horses pose. The pedagogical concept is enacted through some empirical events which sketch human–horse encounters from the AA. These sketches depict some of the pedagogical conversations and discursive pathways that encounters can provoke. Such encounters and conversations are ways of constructing knowledge of the landscape, covering multiple species, perspectives and discursive opportunities. For these reasons, this paper may be of relevance for outdoor environmental educators, those interested in the AA or posthuman theorists.

AbstractAustralia is an old continent with an immensely long history of human settlement. The argument made in this paper is that Australia is, and has always been, a natureculture. Just as English was introduced as the dominant language of education with European colonisation, so arrived an ontological premise that linguistically divides a categorised nature from culture and human from “the” environment. Drawing on published work from the Australian tropics, this paper employs a socionature approach to make a philosophical argument for a more nuanced understanding of language, the cultural interface and contemporary moves towards interculture in Australian environmental education practice.

New Empiricism

Abstract Situated within a series of river journeys, this inquiry considers the role of material landscape in shaping learning possibilities and explores practices of reading landscapes diffractively. We consider ways we might pay attention to the ever-changing flux of places while experimenting with posthuman pedagogical praxis. Methodologically, we embrace the post-qualitative provocation to do research differently by enacting a new empiricism that does not ground the inquiry in a paradigmatic structure. In doing so, we rethink conventional notions of method and data as we create a series of short videos from footage recorded during canoeing journeys with tertiary outdoor environmental education students. These videos, along with a student poem, form the empirical materials in this project. Video allows us to closely analyse more-than-human entanglements, contemplating the diverse ways we can participate with and read landscapes in these contexts. We aim to provoke diffractive thought and elicit affective dimensions of material encounters, rather than offer representational findings. This project intends to open possibilities for post-qualitative research, inspired by posthuman and new materialist orientations.
