PROTECTION OF NATURE AND UNDERSTANDING OF NATURE AS BASIS OF PROTECTION OF NATURE EDUCATION
Wolfgang Erz
Sažetak
In the education at schools or universities around the world the protection of nature is very rarely the separate subject of the curriculum; very rarely will one find special institutions for the protection of nature studies, and probably there are no teachers specially educated for the subject.
Still, in Germany, at some universities the protection of nature has become a separate study subject. In few federal districts in Germany there are now special institutions specialized in the education of protection of nature, the basic task being to educate graduates in protection of nature subjects; they are offering the specialisation courses for other professions, and give their contribution to the improvement of general education.
But as a rule the education for the protection of nature is in the formal education institutions (school, university) integrated into other educational subjects with other educational goals being more important.
The questions as "what is the protection of nature" (just as well as "what it is not"), or "what is it for" (and "what is it not for"), as well as how it can be explained, are repeatedly formulated anew.
This essay need not be understood as a survey but mostly as the stimulus to keep on finding definitions and contents of the main concepts.
