Oihana Barrutia; Oier Pedrera; Unai Ortega-Lasuen; José Ramón Díez – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Biodiversity loss is one of the biggest environmental issues in the world today and the biodiversity literacy of citizens can be key to counteracting this. Considering that children can be change agents and actively take part in decision-making from early years, we have assessed the native fauna identification skills of Primary School students…

William David Lambert – American Biology Teacher, 2023
A common question posed to environmental scientists by nonscientists, particularly policymakers, is the following: In a world that is globally warmer, what will the new climate be like in specific geographical regions? This question has been and continues to be addressed by computer modeling, a technique that is out of reach for vast majority of…

Rey-Goyeneche, Jennifer A.; Alexander, Patrick – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2021
By analysing an academic exhibition on the Amazon region made by Year 5 children from an Oxford-based primary school, this qualitative study explores the ways that children perceive a representation of a natural environment geographically distant from their home context. The phenomenographic analysis of written and visual documentary sources…

Marcos-Walias, Javier; Bobo-Pinilla, Javier; Delgado Iglesias, Jaime; Reinoso Tapia, Roberto – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Plant awareness disparity (PAD), formerly known as plant blindness, refers to the fact of overlooking or failing to perceive plants, perhaps due to poor 'species literacy'. Despite numerous efforts made by scientists and educators over the years, PAD is still present in students at all educational levels. An assessment was carried out on 259…

Daniel, Brad; Shores, Jim; Faircloth, W. Brad – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2021
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the relationship between natural landscapes and inspiration through the lens of topophilia--the affinity people have for certain places or landscape features. Participants were students on a traveling college field course called American Ecosystems. The 2015 course (n=15, 26 days) visited 19…

Petrikovicová, Lucia; Durinková, Adriána; Králik, Roman; Kurilenko, Victoria – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2021
As part of the educational process, it is currently difficult for a teacher to engage students for the amount of information that is available all around us today. Therefore, it is necessary to choose appropriate methods and actively prepare various teaching aids that can motivate students, arouse interest in self-study and thus educate them. The…

Robischon, Marcel – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Object-based learning is an approach that aims to foster observational skills and sensory awareness. Paradoxical plant objects that do not lend themselves to all-too-easy explanations and interpretations can be used to practice the search for ecological explanations and the formation of evolutionary hypotheses. They can be the basis of…

Amprazis, Alexandros; Papadopoulou, Penelope; Malandrakis, George – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Children's conceptions of plants as living things are thoroughly analysed during the last decades. Additionally, many researchers showed interest in 'Plant Blindness', the people's tendency to ignore plants and underestimate them comparing to animals. Aim of this research is to validate plant blindness' intensity among Greek primary school…
