Book excerpt: The world that future generations are inheriting is one filled with approaching environmental decisions to make on a global scale with complex consequences (Heiberlein, 2012). In response, the development of higher education curriculum focused on humanity's relationship with their environment is one of the fastest trending areas within colleges and universities (Svanstrom, Lozano-Garcia, & Rowe, 2008). Uniquely within the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MNSCU) system, all four-year universities require students to enroll in a "People and the Environment" course that contains learning outcomes focusing upon "today's complex environmental challenges...[as well as] the inter-relatedness of human society and the natural environment" (MNSCU, 2010). In addition, many higher education institutions are utilizing more comprehensive methods in evaluating their curriculum's learning outcomes, marking the importance of and need for developing further evaluations in the effectiveness of designated "People and the Environment" courses in meeting student learning outcomes (Yousey-Elsener, Keith, & Ripkey, 2010). The current research examined these courses across three MNSCU universities through administering a pre and post-course instrument to students that measured growth in environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. The results indicate statistically significant differences between participants' pre and post environmental knowledge scores, especially when compared to a sample of Minnesotans. Additionally, a post-course instrument administered to the faculty regarding their instructional methods suggests that specific instructional methods, including team teaching, led to significant gains in student learning outcomes. Overall, the study reveals specific approaches in evaluating learning outcomes as well as best practices for future "People and the Environment" coursework.

Book excerpt: This mixed-methods study evaluated the integration of environmental education (EE) into school curricula across 5 public schools in Arizona, USA, from June 2023 to May 2024. The research involved 500 students (grades 6-8), 20 teachers, and 5 administrators. Quantitative analysis revealed significant improvements in students' environmental attitudes and behaviors across all schools (p < 0.001), with large effect sizes (Cohen's d > 2.0). ANOVA showed significant differences in attitudes and behaviors across schools (F(4,495) = 3.87, p = 0.008 for attitudes; F(4,495) = 4.13, p = 0.004 for behaviors) and socio-economic backgrounds (F(2,495) = 4.75, p = 0.002 for attitudes; F(2,495) = 5.12, p = 0.001 for behaviors), but not across genders. Qualitative thematic analysis identified key factors contributing to program success, including student engagement, cultural sensitivity, and inclusivity. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of a comprehensive, adaptable approach to environmental education in enhancing students' environmental consciousness across diverse demographics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social marketing takes key marketing principles and applies them to campaigns and efforts to influence social action. In Social Marketing to Protect the Environment, the focus turns to the environment, and how social marketing can be successful to change environmental behaviour. The text begins with a definition of the Social Marketing Model and includes a discussion of various tools that can be used to develop social marketing strategies. It then moves into sections on Residential-Related Behaviours and Commercial-Related Behaviours. These sections follow a consistent format and: - Describe a variety of environmental issues - Give examples of the numerous changes in behaviours and/or practices that would contribute to reducing the problem - Provide mini-cases that illustrate the successful use of social marketing principles along with tools to influence this behaviour in similar situations - Review what worked and what could have been improved. A final section provides future directions and recommendations.

This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book is about the development of a common understanding of environmental citizenship. It conceptualizes and frames environmental citizenship taking an educational perspective. Organized in four complementary parts, the book first explains the political, economic and societal dimensions of the concept. Next, it examines environmental citizenship as a psychological concept with a specific focus on knowledge, values, beliefs and attitudes. It then explores environmental citizenship within the context of environmental education and education for sustainability. It elaborates responsible environmental behaviour, youth activism and education for sustainability through the lens of environmental citizenship. Finally, it discusses the concept within the context of different educational levels, such as primary and secondary education in formal and non-formal settings. Environmental citizenship is a key factor in sustainability, green and cycle economy, and low-carbon society, and an important aspect in addressing global environmental problems. It has been an influential concept in many different arenas such as economy, policy, philosophy, and organizational marketing. In the field of education, the concept could be better exploited and established, however. Education and, especially, environmental discourses in science education have a great deal to contribute to the adoption and promotion of environmental citizenship.

Book excerpt: This book is about an experimental study carried out by the author to find out the effect of ecological intelligence on developing ecological sensitivity among prospective teachers. The experiment is conducted to enhance the prospective teachers’ ecological intelligence in order to develop their ecological sensitivity which is expected to be imbibed in student community for ensuring a safe environment to all living beings. The author has adopted Daniel Goleman’s idea of ecological intelligence and developed the concept of ecological sensitivity from the perspective of the mental disposition of an individual to deal effectively the dynamic environment with empathy by taking initiatives to mitigate the environmental problems for sustainable development since the prevailing environmental condition demands the human beings to quickly respond to the environmental problems in order to protect the environment not only for the continued survival of the present generation, but also to ensure safe environment for the future generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are inseparable from natural ecosystems, and understanding how people think about, experience, and interact with nature is crucial for promoting environmental sustainability as well as human well-being. This is the new edition of what is now the leading textbook in conservation psychology, the field that explores connections between the study of human behavior and the achievement of conservation goals. Completely updated, this book summarizes theory and research on ways in which humans experience nature; it explores people’s conceptions of nature and environmental problems, their relationship with nature, and their moral lenses on nature; and examines ways to encourage conservation-oriented behavior at both individual and societal levels. Throughout, the authors integrate a wide body of research demonstrating the role of psychology in promoting a more sustainable relationship between humans and nature. New sections cover human perceptions of environmental problems, new examples of community-based conservation, and a “positive psychology” perspective that emphasizes the relevance of nature to human resilience. Additional references are to be found throughout this edition along with some new examples and a reorganisation of chapters in response to reader feedback. This fascinating volume is used for teaching classes to senior undergraduate and graduate students of Conservation Psychology, Environmental Psychology and Conservation Science in departments of Psychology, Geography, Environmental Science, and Ecology and Evolution. It is equally suitable as a starting point for other researchers and practitioners - psychologists, conservation biologists, environmental scientists, and policy-makers - needing to know more about how psychological research can inform their conservation work.

Book excerpt: “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

Book excerpt: The environment and contested notions of sustainability are increasingly topics of public interest, political debate, and legislation across the world. Environmental education journals now publish research from a wide variety of methodological traditions that show linkages between the environment, health, development, and education. The growth in scholarship makes this an opportune time to review and synthesize the knowledge base of the environmental education (EE) field. The purpose of this 51-chapter handbook is not only to illuminate the most important concepts, findings and theories that have been developed by EE research, but also to critically examine the historical progression of the field, its current debates and controversies, what is still missing from the EE research agenda, and where that agenda might be headed. Published for the American Educational Research Association (AERA).
