Sažetak
= Modern society is faced with the environmental crisis. The fact calls for the development of the modern system of institutionalised and non-institutionalised environmental education.
The author considers the environmental education to be the essence of contemporary socialisation, i.e. the process of humanisation of nature and naturalisation of man who is creating the new consciousness of the man - nature relationship (nature - concrete and global environment/surrounding). The success of educational system must be measured by its reflection within the environmental education. The environmental education must not be motivated by pragmatic aims or values only, nor by purposefulness of existing paradigm, but by the requirement to develop knowledge on causes of the state, on skills of using modern methods, on capabilities to anticipate future on the basis of new values defining our behaviour.
The author proposes a complete educational system which would not be founded only on the education in protection of nature and environment as the main goals, but primarily, on the education (socialisation) to be creating the environment - the man's interest of shaping dwellings and performing work having anthropological foundations, just as the education, the problem of the spirit, is discovering the impulses in the experience as well as in the reflection.
Different ecological systems exist in nature as much as different cultures do in the society. The environmental education must be based upon internationalisation of pluralist approach as the attitude towards culture is reflected as the attitude towards nature (environment). The pluralist approach will diminish the entropic activities of the existing civilisation. New curriculum would be needed in such a case.
