Teaching and learning in environmental education: Developing
environmental conceptions
Ballantyne, RR | Packer, JM
Journal of Environmental Education [J. ENVIRON. EDUC.]. Vol. 27,
no. 2, pp. 25-32. 1996.
A theoretical model is presented for developing environmental
conceptions that incorporate environmental knowledge, attitudes
/values, and behavioral orientations. Developing conceptions in
environmental education involves the use of a range of strategies
designed to integrate an individual's environmental knowledge,
attitudes/values, and behavior. The proposed approach broadens
teaching in the area that traditionally has had an
attitudes/values focus. The application of constructivist
principles of learning provides a basis for encouraging students
to become aware of, challenge inconsistencies in, and make an
informed decision regarding their commitment to their own or
alternative environmental conceptions. Examples are provided of
strategies that may be adapted for use within this model.
