Since 2003, researchers, faculty, graduate and undergraduate students from the State University of Maringá have been working alongside teachers from the state and local schools in the municipality of Porto Rico (Paraná State), located on the banks of the Paraná River. Their objective is to outline actions and strategies with the purpose of building methodological paths to insert environmental education into the school curriculum. Based on the action-research methodology, the group has developed the following programs: a) the Continuing Education Program in Environmental Education; b) the Development of Interdisciplinary Projects; c) the Insertion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs); and d) the Production of Teaching Materials. The evaluations of the programs indicate that teachers have been able to gradually build a theoretical and methodological basis for environmental education while simultaneously growing into the role of teacher-researchers as they create the conditions to investigate their pedagogical practices, reflect upon them, share experiences, innovate, and make the teaching-learning process more significant. Allied to the advances in educational practices and with the aid of ICTs, the activities developed in the classroom, in the field and in the lab - all of which involve natural and cultural aspects of the region - have contributed to teachers' and students' better understanding of the ecological, cultural, social and economic value of the floodplain, and consequently, of the importance of preservation and management in order to maintain local biodiversity.

Ecological Simulation

AbstractEnvironmental education is concerned with developing both environmental knowledge and positive attitudes towards the environment. An experiential simulation activity about a native Australian bird was designed to develop both these aspects. The simulation was implemented with nine classes of 10-12 year old children. The children completed a survey before and after the simulation and their teachers reported on their responses. The results showed that the children developed additional knowledge of kookaburras and their survival and that their attitudes towards the environment became more positive. Moreover, the children themselves believed they had increased their knowledge and changed their feelings of responsibility towards the environment as a result of the simulation.

Environmental Injustice

In this article we discuss meanings of a teacher on the didactic treatment of a socio-environmental conflict in biology classes. The environmental conflict which concerns this study involves environmental injustice processes and results from the territorial dispute involving official bodies and a community in the neighboring region of the Jurubatiba Reservation National Park inMacaéin the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This work rests on the critical discourse studies (Critical Discourse Analysis - CDA) and privileged intertextuality manifested as an analytical dimension which suggests ways in which other texts are explicitly marked on the textual surface. Our analyzes suggest that by enunciating pedagogical practices related to environmental injustice processes, the teacher establishes ambivalent relations between conservative and emancipatory discourses of environmental education. This study lies in the defense and option to explore political dimensions of environmental education in school, based on the visibility of acute processes of environmental injustices as well ascommunity struggles and protagonisms.Keywords: Environmental Justice.

The article discusses the need for environmental knowledge for the formation of the competence of a doctor in higher education. Possible points of view on the nature of the educational process are shown and argued, which allow integrating the body of acquired knowledge into the field of medical practice. The features of design technologies are revealed and the advantages of its use in the training of medical specialists are given, from the point of view of the professional development of doctors. The article is devoted to the actualization and significance of environmental education, with the aim of forming environmental awareness and educating the population, for processing sustainable development of society. One of the important directions associated with solving environmental problems at the present stage is environmental education and upbringing of medical students and the formation of environmental culture. Environmental education both in the world and in Russia is considered today a priority area of training and education of students at all levels of education. We have substantiated the relevance and relationship of environmental education and upbringing, disclosed their essence, objectives, content, principles, forms and methods of work; the analysis of the state is given, the mechanism of elaboration of certain aspects of the problem is characterized, etc. Achieving sustainable development and environmental safety of territories, solving global environmental problems, is impossible without the foundation of the foundations of a culture of environmental management and environmental education of the population. The variant used in the training of specialists in the field of medicine has shown high efficiency in the formation of practice-oriented competencies of a medical graduate.

Separation Behavior

To achieve substantial and sustainable levels of separation of municipal solid waste (MSW), it is essential to engage young people as they are important drivers of change and will have a major influence on the future of the world. This study aimed to understand Chinese high school students’ intention toward the separation of solid waste on campus (SSWC). The study has used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as its theoretical framework, and further incorporates two additional constructs (environmental education and environmental knowledge) to explain the separation of solid waste (SSW) behavior of 562 high school students. The results indicate that environmental education is essential to ensure that students have required knowledge and positive attitudes toward SSWC. Knowledge was the best predictor of high school students’ separation behavior. Moreover, a lack of subjective norm from the important people could prevent students from participating in this process, regardless of their positive attitudes. The implications for policy and scope for further research are discussed.

Educational Implications

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine factors influencing environmental behaviour of the general public and to develop educational implications that will enhance effectiveness in information dissemination for environmental sustainability in Taiwan. Design/methodology/approach A survey using personal interviews was administered in Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung metropolitan areas following stratified sampling method based on age and gender distributions of the population between the ages of 18 and 59 in Taiwan. Total valid samples were 481. Probit model was applied to examine factors influencing environmental behaviour. Findings Based on findings in the study, environmental knowledge, pro-environmental attitude (emphasising balance of nature), altruism and habitual behaviour positively influence environmental behaviour. Humancentric (emphasising human domination) negatively influence environmental behaviour. The following educational implications are capable to enlarge a spectrum of environmental behaviour in Taiwan: including topics of waste avoidance and reduction in chemical usage for cleaning or for insecticides in lessons/curricula; and promote general public to live a life which causes fewer burdens on the environment. Research limitations/implications Environmental education plays fundamental role in educating the public with concurrent environmental knowledge, in an expectation that the general public would take the information into consideration and modify behaviour in an effort to sustain the environment. Research implications of this study are: environmental behaviour is multidimensional and can be examined using a comprehensive set of statements including domains of energy conservation, mobility and transportation, waste avoidance, consumerism and recycling; and habitual behaviour is an influencing factor to explain environmental behaviour and can be examined thoroughly in future studies. Originality/value The study provides insights into environmental education based on examining factors influencing environmental behaviour. It advances the field by exploring environmental behaviour in five domains and revealing habitual behaviour as an influential factor. This allows educators to comprehend gaps in environmental behaviour and the needs for environmental education in Taiwan.
