“…According to Escorihuela [63] and Głowacki [64] it is important for schools to participate in the educational projects of geoparks in order to supplement the knowledge on Geology. Contact with the environment helps to raise eco-awareness among the population [65], helping to instil values such as respect and favour a significant learning process [66][67][68][69][70]. These aspects are confirmed by the study conducted by Azman et al [42] in which these authors highlight how instruction in environmental issues within the context of the geopark makes a positive contribution to young people's awareness.…”

The UNESCO Global Geoparks is a good didactic instrument that allows teaching territorial elements in transversal way. The geopark provides a means to address the teaching-learning process of both cultural values and natural values, including geology. This paper aims to highlight the educational activities that have emerged from the Villuercas UNESCO Global Geopark. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology based on document analysis and fieldwork has been used. Through a system of categories, we have analyzed the existing materials on the geopark’s website, its activity book and the schools that have been part of its educational project. The geopark and educational centers collaboration has 76 educational proposals that are developed in the territory of the geopark. Since 2011, all schools in its area of action participate in its educational project with a total of 2500 students per year. The Villuercas geopark involves all students in its territory and encourages learning of a significant, transversal and collaborative type. In the same way, it has a positive impact on environmental awareness and respect for the environment and cultural resources.

“…And how is it possible to strengthen this ethical responsibility? The values of geoethics (Peppoloni & Di Capua, 2016), such as integrity, honesty, trustworthiness, accountability, accuracy and impartiality, can orient both scientists and science journalists to find the best way to cooperate, and to ensure the best service to the general population. In fact both groups should share the same ethical values and should aim for the same goal: to make scientific knowledge an integral part of social knowledge.…”

“…The project also aims to offer suggestions of educational resources that can be used in higher education to enhance the quality and relevance of students' knowledge and skills. The pillars of Geoethics are rooted in a set of values that are divided into three partially overlapping groups: ethical values, cultural values and social values (Peppoloni & Di Capua, 2016). The integration of Geoethics values as an integral part of the education array of a future geoscientist could lead to the production of more geoethically literate geoscientists, who show more awareness of their social role.…”

The future challenge of Earth science education research

This article addresses the question of what the future directions and emphases of the research in the earth science education field ought to be. During the past 30 years, Earth science education research has established a solid theoretical foundation, as well as practical strategies and techniques, for a meaningful teaching of earth science from K-12. However, the quality of this research, and the growing need for knowledge in Earth science, have done little to improve the low profile of ESE in schools worldwide. The article posits that narrowing this disturbing gap between the educational potential of Earth science and its low profile in schools requires a holistic agenda. Such an agenda will encompass the deepening of existing research of the Earth systems approach in areas like the development of environmental insight better understanding the learning process as an embedded human instinct, which will hopefully contribute to changing the current essentialism-based teaching culture. However, it will also include new avenues of research focused on changing the attitudes of geoscientists towards their role in society and the adoption of geoethical values.
