Moreover, in recognition of the limitations inherent to its conceptualization, in which models present approaches from quantitative and qualitative research in order to address the totality and density of human endeavor. For this reason, within higher education research a more pluralistic and flexible view of research is emerging, where models of quantitative and qualitative research are recognized as being complementary to each other, to enter the social convolution in which we live. Educational Research in Higher Education presents latest research theories and modern-day examples of design research in higher education. The chapters represent an extensive assortment of interpretations and examples of how today's new design researchers conceptualize this growing methodology across areas as varied as classroom teaching methodologies, instructional innovations, educational technology, equality studies, environmental education, etc. This book is planned as a guide for master and doctoral students, novel researchers, crossover and professional researchers from field's other than but related to higher education, who are interested in supporting new design research.

Este libro quiere entrar en la escuela para animarla a mirar con sumo interés e insistencia lo que ocurre en el medioambiente del que forma parte. Superada la separación entre lo natural y lo social, el medioambiente es cada vez más multidimensional: cercano y global, personal y colectivo, presente y futuro, causas y consecuencias, eventos y relaciones, utilitario y afectivo, imaginado y real, aprendido y vivido, condicionante y condicionado, libre y normativo, descrito y participado, etc. Para centrar esa inquietud propone al profesorado una mirada crítica colectiva desde la complejidad para que revise si existen unos saberes ambientales o son un invento, o se aprecian al resolver situaciones críticas; y si son más pertinentes unas metodologías que otras para motivar al alumnado a que transite desde los detalles al conjunto. Por eso en la segunda parte del libro se plantean sugerencias prácticas para la educación formal que abordan desde cuestiones del cambio climático, el ciclo de la vida de los productos, el uso de recursos y la generación de residuos, la gestión energética del centro escolar, las herramientas TIC en la percepción ambiental, etc., hasta llegar a las migraciones masivas, la ciudadanía global o los mapas del futuro del medioambiente dentro del contexto de unas escuelas ecosociales, tan necesarias en el momento crítico en el que vivimos.

La educación ambiental es una herramienta esencial para concienciar a la población de la importancia de preservar el medio ambiente y adoptar prácticas de consumo sostenible en el día a día. En este proceso de concienciación, el educador ambiental tiene un papel fundamental, ya que es el encargado de transmitir información y estimular la reflexión sobre temas medioambientales. Su principal objetivo es concienciar ecológicamente a las personas, fomentando el cambio de comportamiento y el compromiso con acciones encaminadas a preservar el medio ambiente. En esta perspectiva, en este libro se discuten varios conceptos relacionados con la educación ambiental, como las prácticas sostenibles de desarrollo y producción de alimentos, la gestión de residuos sólidos, la preservación de la fauna y la flora, las fuentes de energía limpia, los impactos ambientales negativos de la explotación intensiva de los recursos naturales, el cambio climático, entre otros. También abordamos la importancia de concienciar sobre el medio ambiente en las escuelas mediante proyectos de educación ambiental que fomenten la participación activa de los alumnos. Además, destacamos la relevancia del conocimiento de los conceptos ecológicos por parte de los educadores ambientales para una actuación eficaz y fundamentada. La educación ambiental es una herramienta fundamental para construir un mundo más sostenible, y el educador ambiental es una pieza clave en este proceso. A través de acciones prácticas y de la concienciación, podemos construir un futuro más equilibrado y armonioso con el medio ambiente. El contenido de este libro le ayudará, como educador ambiental, a desarrollar mejor su labor de sensibilización de la población. Tenga en cuenta que, sin embargo, la intención del autor no era agotar por completo los fundamentos teóricos que sustentan la educación ambiental, sólo ofrecer un marco de conceptos e ideas bien estructurado para el educador ambiental principiante o no, utilizar como guía en su proceso de difusión de la conciencia ecológica. La literatura disponible que aborda este tema, en particular, es aún incipiente, por no hablar de la forma errónea o simplista de tratar el contenido, que por lo general se discute disciplinariamente, mientras que la educación ambiental tiene un sesgo sistémico, es decir, multidisciplinario. Además, muchos educadores del país no tienen una formación específica en educación ambiental, por lo que trabajar este tema en el aula es un desafío. Al darme cuenta de esta laguna, preparé este libro, pensando exclusivamente en ayudarles. La educación ambiental es una actividad multidisciplinar, por lo que profesionales de cualquier área de conocimiento pueden ser educadores ambientales.

This book provides a critique of over two decades of sustained effort to infuse educational systems with education for sustainable development. Taking to heart the idea that deconstruction is a prelude to reconstruction, this critique leads to discussions about how education can be remade, and respond to the educational imperatives of our time, particularly as they relate to ecological crises and human-nature relationships. It will be of great interest to students and researchers of sociology, education, philosophy and environmental issues.

This book presents the research results of an interdisciplinary study on climate change policies by the Enforcing Environmental Policy (EEP) Network, a project supported by the Human Dimension Potential Programme. Contributions are from highly qualified economic and legal specialists based at research institutes across Europe. The book gives answers to several questions related to the implementation of the international rules on climate change, most notably the Kyoto Protocol. It analyses ways and means to facilitate and encourage compliance with the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol. It is addressed to policy-makers, academics, business-sector and stakeholders throughout and outside Europe. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, this work is a distinctive and unique product compared to the existing literature on the subject. The effective implementation of climate protection and clean air policy requires an understanding of the political, legal and economic structures and constraints facing policy makers - and this is exactly what this book offers.

Action Research: An Educational Leader’s Guide to School Improvement, Third Edition, is a clear and practical guide to conducting action research in schools. Although it offers neither a cookbook nor a quick-fix approach, this book does outline the process of designing and reporting an action research project. Useful as a classroom text as well as a self-teaching tool, Action Research: An Educational Leader’s Guide to School Improvement is a comprehensive training manual. It can be used by practitioners in the field, by graduate students enrolled in leadership and/or master’s thesis courses, or by anyone interested in learning how to conduct action research projects, including classroom teachers ,who are leaders too in their own right. The strategies and techniques of action research described are no different for teachers than they are for administrators. The underlying assumption of this work is that research is not a domain only for academics, it is also a powerful approach that can be used by practitioners to contribute to school renewal and instructional improvement. Rather than being merely a philosophical treatise or theoretical analysis, Action Research provides concrete strategies and techniques for conducting action research in schools.

The SoJo Journal: Educational Foundations and Social Justice Education is an international, peer-reviewed journal of educational foundations. San Jose State University hosts the journal. It publishes essays that examine contemporary educational and social contexts and practices from critical perspectives. The SoJo Journal: Educational Foundations and Social Justice Education is interested in research studies as well as conceptual, theoretical, philosophical, and policy-analysis essays that challenge the existing state of affairs in society, schools, and (in)formal education. The SoJo Journal: Educational Foundations and Social Justice Education is necessary because currently there is not an exclusively international foundations of education journal. For instance, three of the leading journal in education foundations journals (e.g., The Journal of Educational Studies, British Journal of Sociology of Education, The Journal of Educational Foundations) solicit manuscripts and support scholarship mainly from professors who reside in Britain and the United States. This journal is also unique because it brings together scholars and practitioners from disciplines outside of educational foundations, who are equally committed to social change and promoting equity and social justice inside and outside of K–16 schools. The SoJo Journal: Educational Foundations and Social Justice Education’s audience is K–12 teachers, K–12 teacher educators, educational leaders, social activists, political economists, and higher education personnel across the globe. The journal is marketed to Educational Foundation, Teacher Education, and Educational Leadership programs, which have embraced the intellectual work of the various editorial members.
