This paper is intended to serve as the basis for discussion of the scope and place of environmental education in technical and vocational education. It is addressed primarily to administrators, curriculum developers, and other active participants in the definition of scope and content of technical and vocational courses. After a brief introduction that sets out the main reasons why environmental subjects should be given increased attention in technical and vocational education, a second chapter deals with the primary environmental issues involved. Both the outer environment (including such issues as waste disposal and recycling) and the inner environment (the workplace) are considered. Chapter 3 identifies the elements of environmental risks that are related to the various levels and sectors of technical and vocational education. Chapter 4 focuses on the integration of environmental education into the curriculum, including when such elements are best made part of the teaching of other subjects or skills and when they may form a separate subject. Chapter 5 discusses the effects on teacher/instructor training requirements when more attention is given to environmental issues in technical and vocational education. The final chapter summarizes the paper. (YLB)
