Stephen Gough

Education, Nature, and Society

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Almost everyone agrees that education has a role to play in ensuring the future of humanity on Earth, but while some think we should learn to leave a minimal environmental footprint, others argue that education should promote economic growth to generate the capital needed to solve environmental problems. This book explores the foundations of the debate by examining human interrelations with Nature, arguing that any coherent view of the purposes and potential of education requires a theory of human society in the natural world. It outlines a novel approach to curriculum design and implementation, in which education is an integral and necessary component of personal and policy development.
