21. Field Ecology Education In Russia The school (theoretical) ecology trend of the environmental education is mainly The Field Ecology and a Naturalistic Approach in Russian Education http://www.creekfarm.net/partners/ecosystem/us/feduc.htm

Introduction Field Center Field Disciplines Publications ... More about Ecosystem Ecological Education in Russia Contact Information Field Ecology Education in Russia The Main Trends of the Environmental education in Russia. by Alexander S. Bogolubov Russia has recently become a state of the "general ecologization". Moreover the importance of this sphere of human knowledge and the necessity of the environmental education are admitted by everybody including teachers and ministers. The final aim of the environmental education is the formation of a "healthy environment community" that lives in harmony with nature. Mixing concepts, terms and theories gives a negative phenomenon - representatives of different trends can not speak the same language in spite of the only and identical aim - educating a generation of people who would thinks "ecologically" (in an environment way). The analysis of the environmental education in Russian schools for the last 10 years helps to come to the conclusion that the environmental education includes at least 5 trends: "school (theoretical) ecology", "technical (industrial) ecology", "socio-political ecology", "playing ecology", 'field ecology". The present classification is rather symbolic and thus we may speak of different ecology, using these word-combinations only in quotation marks and bearing in mind that we don't speak of ecology as a whole but only of some trends of the environmental education. All these trends are characterized by different approaches to the education of children, a quite different substance forms of work and direct ways of communication with children. Moreover, each of these trends has got its own authors, its own means of communication and its own audience.

22. ET 8/97: Creek Restoration And Kids Ecology Education Creek Restoration and ecology education for Kids©, promotes ecological enhancementand environmental stewardship through interaction with nature, http://www.sdearthtimes.com/et0897/et0897s11.html

Creek restoration and kids ecology education by Alice Martinez an Diego City Council members Valerie Stallings and Byron Wear helped kick off a new effort to restore Rose Creek in Pacific Beach. The project, which began on June 26, is being funded with $40,000 in Community Development Block Grant monies allocated by Stallings and Wear. The Nature School, a non-profit organization that focuses on urban creek restoration and watershed education opportunities for kids, applied for the grant money and is overseeing the project. Nature School staff have utilized volunteers from the National Civilian Community Corps, Girl and Boy Scouts, neighborhood children and community activists to help with the project. CREEK is interdisciplinary, using multimedia presentation and artful expression to challenge students' creative ability in conceiving solutions for environmental protection. Beyond traditional education, Project CREEK offers guest visits, field study, demonstrations, school assemblies, on-site workshops and town hall meetings to engage K12 and college students, parents, educators, community leaders and policy makers as participants in real-life learning as shareholders in managing community resources. There are currently two opportunities to restore urban wetlands. The first is on Mission Bay, America's largest aquatic park, which is jeopardized by urban run-off via its major tributary, Rose Creek. The second is the San Diego River, west of the trolley overpass. By cleaning up the coastal portion of Rose Creek and the San Diego River and restoring their habitats, open spaces will be preserved for numerous community benefits.

The Diack Family Oregon Ecology Education Program provides a system of grants, awards, and resources that are distributed to teachers and other youth leaders in Oregon to encourage them to involve youth in field based ecology. In awarding grants, emphasis is placed on regular field study by children of living things, using scientific-based processes at an easily accessible site. Of particular concern is the extent to which the children will see that their work is important to their community. The grant committee considers elements such as the projects use of good educational and scientific methods, its age appropriateness for the children, whether the project involves more than identification of plants and animals, how the project integrates other school subjects into the activities, whether the children's observations will lead to conclusions to be presented for a specific purpose. The first step for a grant is a letter of interest (see GRANT PROCEDURES Discussion Page 3715 NE Wistaria Dr.

Adaptations are special features of a plant or animal that help it survive in its environment. Adaptations might help in finding food, getting a mate, beating competitors or escaping predators. Some adaptations are easy to see. For example, birds have different feet and beaks depending on where they live and what they eat. Other adaptations are harder to see. Animals also have special organs and body functions that help them survive. Some plants and animals live in very strange or difficult places and they need extra special adaptations to survive there. For example, some animals can survive in very cold places by having furry coats or thick layers of fat for insulation. Some

The ideology includes concern for the environment but has a much wider remit. It is much more materialistic and that is no bad thing. Apart from the environment the other areas of focus are threefold . They are: Making humanitarian social progress Making efficient use of natural resources and Maintaining high levels of economic growth and employment We would be happy to include relevant SD courses information when there is sufficient interest.

From Serendip SCIENCE AS EXPLORATION INSTITUTE 2001 Empowering teachers to employ open-ended inquiry to teach ecology An Inquiry-Based Teaching Module developed by Ann Herzig, Department of Biology, Bryn Mawr College Introduction Teaching ecology to children is easy. All children have a fascination with other creatures. To teach children ecology we need to give them the opportunity to explore the plants and animals within their local environments. This enhances their awareness and appreciation of other organisms. Learning how to conduct experiments using these organisms teaches them how the scientific method is employed in the science of ecology. Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environments. It provides the foundation for the much broader discipline of environmental studies, which includes both social and scientific issues related to the environment. Ecology education need not be limited to areas that are relatively pristine, but can include the study of organisms in areas that are heavily influenced by humans, like cities. There are plenty of interesting natural history observations to be made within an urban environment. For example, birds during migration can form dense and diverse aggregations in city parks, oases within a sea of concrete. Insects and spiders are everywhere. Lichens can grow on bare rock. The study of ecology in urban settings demonstrates the important lesson that humans are interacting members of a much larger global system. Care and respect for the environment is fostered by an understanding of one's personal impact on the local environment.
