Od interwencji w ramach kampanii „zielony kampus” do edukacji ekologicznej prowadzonej w kolegium nauczycielskim


Na całym świecie agenda ekologiczna jest pilną kwestią, ale świadomość i działania poszczególnych osób zarządzających nadchodzącym kryzysem są bardzo zróżnicowane. Edukacja może odgrywać kluczową rolę w takich procesach, ale jak należy promować zachowania proekologiczne (EB)? Przedstawione badania zweryfikowały skuteczność interwencji w ramach kampanii, która była częścią procesu certyfikacji zielonego kampusu w izraelskim kolegium dla nauczycieli. Kampania obejmowała formalne i nieformalne interwencje z zakresu edukacji ekologicznej (EE). W badaniach przed i po (pre-post) oceniono świadomość studentów na temat kampanii, zmiany w ich wiedzy na temat kwestii związanych z ochroną środowiska, ich zachowania proekologiczne oraz postawy wobec edukacji ekologicznej. Okazało się, że studenci byli świadomi interwencji prowadzonych na terenie kampusu, a zwłaszcza dobrze widocznych działań. Ponadto stwierdzono poprawę w zakresie podstawowej wiedzy studentów i ich zachowań proekologicznych, a także wzrost znaczenia przypisywanego EE. Wyniki te uzasadniają kontynuację takich interwencji edukacyjnych w kampusach z zastosowaniem różnych podejść pedagogicznych w stosunku do przyszłych nauczycieli, którzy będą kształcić następne pokolenia.
