This article introduces key features to the background, themes and implications of three collections available in Environmental Education Research that focus on climate change education research. The problems perils scholarship inquiry this area are highlighted by contrasting these with some possibilities potentials from a broad range studies published related fields study, for example, understanding who is doing teaching learning education, identifying conceptual, policy economic drivers...

This article reports on an investigation of student teachers' learning about education for sustainable development (ESD). Phenomenographic data were collected using open proformas and interviews from geography teachers taking the University Oxford Post‐Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) 2003–2004. The analysis focuses what cohort perceived as their ESD sources that contribute to it. Extracts illustrate conceptions subject matter, regarding relevance school students, its complex...

Since the early days of field, attitude–behavior (A–B) relationships have received sustained attention in evaluation and researching environmental education (EE). This level interest extends beyond field's scope though, part due to a certain reliance on theoretical empirical assertions which claim that attitudes serve as strong precursor and/or predictor behavior. In this paper, we consider reviews studies A–B relationship EE other fields routinely challenge such assumptions, leading...

Three decades have passed since approximately 1,700 scientists signed the World Scientists' Warning to Humanity highlighting severe environmental problems and trends affecting local global communities. To reverse situation, their 1992 argued we need change our behaviour. In 2017, a larger group issued second consensus statement warning that direction rates of had worsened remained unsustainable. Neither document, however, identified education as key strategy in supporting necessary...

Previously published as a special issue of Environmental Education Research, this collection includes some the most influential and important articles contributed to field over last decade. Drawing out best from volumes one ten, editors highlight six major themes: * EE ESD: tension or transition? locating environmental in education research doing learning process outcome for ...* developing research. For each theme, two papers by journal first ten years are re-printed researchers review...

Recent decades have seen a marked growth in the quantity and range of literature reviews published on various aspects environmental sustainability education (ESE). However, critical assessment these suggests common challenges for authors readers, core which concern distinct but related naming, assessing, applying review methods. In some cases, concerns can be traced back to matters 'category mistake'. Such mistakes may arise through failure recognise or demonstrate sufficient understanding...

Purpose This study aims to explore how engineering curricula can address sustainability considerations. Through a cross-case analysis, hybrid theoretical-empirical model is developed identify and analyse broad range of possible actual responses within education. Design/methodology/approach The employs multiple-case design compare the experiences educators students engaging with topics in two contrasting tertiary civil programs. It draws on an original conceptual framework informed by...

Abstract The Mid-Term Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) recognizes “interconnections and interdependencies” disaster resilience. Conceptual empirical research suggests that field currently lacks innovative methodologies to enhance associated policy practice actively harnesses these relational dimensions. To help address gaps, we apply Paul Ricœur’s concept being in world (“Oneself as Another”) explore what a relationally-focused understanding might...

This paper focuses on our experience of researching the influence ResourceSmart Schools, a sustainable schools programme in Victoria, Australia. Drawing ideas from theory and realist synthesis, we illustrate reflect upon approach to conceptualising, investigating generating evidence about programme's impacts participating schools. distinction is deliberate: it helps distinguish between efforts understand that has within (programme impact), what influential bringing those influence). work...

Through Target 4.7 of SDG4 on 'quality education', Agenda 2030 invites governments to take ownership progress towards ensuring 'Education for Sustainable Development' (ESD) becomes embedded into all levels education. However, conceptual analysis suggests an ongoing blindspot related the significance systems literacy in fostering many learning outcomes associated with broader sweep 'education Development Goals'. These include (i) challenges providing learners explicit support key...

In this study, we discuss findings from a small-scale project evaluating an in-service teacher training programme focused on 'perspective transformation' in early childhood education and for sustainability (EfS). A bespoke professional development was developed Turkish teachers, based variety of Mezirowian-inspired adult activities. Data were gathered using mixed method research design, 24 educators, through learning diaries, Learning Activities Survey follow-up interviews. Initial...

As noted in the editorial for preceding issue (Reid 2019), by year’s end, Environmental Education Research will have published 25 volumes of studies. In total, they contain over 150 issues and ...

This article explores how an environmental education policy text comes to be constituted by discursive strategies that reproduce or challenge particular ideologies of environmentalism in relation education. Using a qualitative analysis discourses the National Policy Environmental Education Colombia (NPEEC), we examine these can traced range stakeholders. Unsurprisingly, key findings include present strongly reflect broader agendas circulating country, such NPEEC falls line with neoliberal...

Our response the article illustrates a range of alternatives position and criteria outlined by Smith-Sebasto. We draw on examples from across wider literature explore themes issues regarding purpose(s) guidelines, their content how they are structured. core argument deliberations process product judging quality environmental education require recognition two points regularly...

In this paper we discuss a case study investigating how the academic and personal development of first year students on an undergraduate sports education degree can be supported enhanced with mobile SMS (Short Message Service) communication. SMS-based technologies were introduced in response to students' particular needs (in transition Higher Education) characteristics (adept communicators). Despite being unaccustomed using their phones for study, willingly accepted communication tutor via...

This study uses bibliometric techniques to explore the international knowledge base on climate change education (CCE), which considers as crucial for addressing emergency through fostering climate-literate citizens. Analyzing two decades of scientific literature CCE, we identify evolving considerations, foci, trends, and recommendations, examining a total 1,264 articles published between 2000 2022 in educational-related fields Web Science. Using techniques, assessed research author...
