The present study analyzes students' weather-related hazard and risk literacy in Greece, a climate change hotspot region the Eastern Mediterranean. In this context, we examine level two core variables, namely knowledge competency. addition, explore how knowledge, attitudes socio-demographic variables influence competencies related to weather assessment adaptability. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on 474 students aged 12-16. regression results showed that significantly...

The educational systems are evolving dynamically reflecting social and economical changes. Geology has developed evolved in Greece, based on specific economic interactions. This paper attempts to define interpret the position of teaching geosciences Greek Secondary Education, from 1830 until today, with reference changes their historical context.

The inadequate approach of the weather phenomena, associated atmospheric processes as well their impacts at Greek education led to creation learning program "Peri Anemon & Ydaton", by meteorological unit National Observatory Athens. program, which is presented Junior High School and students, structured into five thematic sessions covers eight goals, implementation was assessed using a multiple-response questionnaire. In general, Ydaton" vivid example for efficiency informal programs....

In the Greek primary and secondary education, weather phenomena climate change are mainly approached through courses of Physics, Geology, Geography Chemistry. The main objective teaching Science is to acquire knowledge about theories, laws principles. expected result that student will be able interpret physical, chemical, biological geological phenomena, as well their interactions. Furthermore, aims develop personality promotion independent thinking ability reasonably deal with difficult...

In the Gulf of Corinth area in Central Greece, for about 30 years, a concerted effort is being performed to better understand Geophysical processes (Earthquakes, Landslides, Tsunamis) that take place. It one narrowest and fastest extending continental regions worldwide has highest seismicity rates Euro-Mediterranean region.The studied by research teams from all over Europe network, Rift Laboratory (C.R.L.), been established. Aiming perform most complete thorough studies, many instruments...

The teaching of science’s history can contribute to the understanding content science as well position a science. Learning importance science, student clarify concepts that govern it their evolution. "Using humanize help students improve critical thinking skills, promote deeper scientific concepts, and address common misconceptions often resemble those scientists old" (Matthews, 1994).According Tomas Kuhn character change marked linguistically criteria by which terms are associated...

This paper examines alternative ideas and perceptions of first-year students the Department Geology at Aristotle University Thessaloniki, on theory tectonic plates, prior to completion relevant courses. There is partial confusion both in terms conceptual background, as well causal links between geological phenomena associated with movement plates. One out two questioned has systematic consistent knowledge principles a deterministic level, geometric, kinematic dynamic analysis.

The geological education in Greece is essentially rooted the second half of 19th century, since 1836, when secondary was established Greece. Although geology referred to all educational programs, its field not taught before 1880, due lack competent teachers and suitable books. Geological as a "necessary" science at end above during Greece's opening phase mining activity. In particular, first attempt exploit lignite deposits began Aliveri (Evia) 1873, but intensive exploitation after First...
