CHILDREN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Gerold Scholz ; University of Frankfurt, Pedagogical Sciences Division

Abstract

The author in this paper analyzes the relation among three notions: education, ecology and a child, trying to show how their comprehension influences the adequacy of education and teaching at elementary schools.
The proper teaching is possible in each environment, under the condition that we do not search for intact nature, but for the nature as a living environment. All possible ways of environmental perception in the contact with nature, that express their experiences as emotive reflexion, reflexion from practical life and natural sciences insights, should be stimulated.
