Trading Zones in Environmental Education : Creating Transdisciplinary Dialogue Paperback / softback
Edited by Marianne E. Krasny, Justin Dillon
Part of the [Re]thinking Environmental Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
Environmental educators often adhere to a relatively narrow theoretical paradigm focusing on changing attitudes and knowledge, which are assumed to foster pro-environmental behaviors, which, in turn, leads to better environmental quality.
This book takes a different approach to trying to understand how environmental education might influence people, their communities, and the environment.
The authors view changing environmental behaviors as a «wicked» problem, that is, a problem that does not readily lend itself to solutions using existing disciplinary approaches.
The book as a whole opens up new avenues for pursuing environmental education research and practice and thus expands the conversation around environmental education, behaviors, and quality.
Through developing transdisciplinary research questions and conceptual paradigms, this book also suggests new practices beyond those currently used in environmental education, natural resources management, and other environmental fields.
