“…Our review suggests that scholars have thoughtfully explored a number of important issues tangentially related to fostering environmental political participation, including the following: political conflicts over curricula (e.g. Chapman 2011; Crouch and Abbot 2009;Holsman 2001;Lavery and Smyth 2003), methods of fostering environmentally responsible behaviors (e.g. Hopper and Nielsen 1991;Irvine and Kaplan 2001;Katzev and Mishima 1992;McMakin 2002;Staats, Harland, and Wilke 2004), individual attitudes towards environmental political action (e.g.…”

Scholars of environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) have been among the environmental leaders calling for individuals to become increasingly engaged in political action aimed at addressing environmental and sustainability issues. Few, however, have studied how educational experiences might foster greater environmental political engagement. Fortunately, there is a rich body of research in political science, psychology, and education that provides insights that EE and ESD scholars and educators can build on. Studies in these domains suggest, for example, that political efficacy (the belief that individuals' actions can influence political processes) and political interest (individuals' willingness to pay attention to politics) are strong predictors of political participation. Moreover, these studies have shown that educators can strengthen individuals' political efficacy and interest through activities such as open-ended discussions of political issues, opportunities to identify with politically oriented groups, and involvement in actual and simulated democratic decision-making processes. This conceptual paper: (1) reviews the broad support for preparing individuals for environmental political participation through education, (2) synthesizes research on the factors that influence political participation, (3) provides a theoretical framework for researchers and educators interested in fostering environmental political participation, and (4) offers recommendations for descriptive, measurement, and educational studies that can provide educators with further guidance on how to foster individuals' environmental political participation.

“…Bu kaçınmanın altındaki gerçeği ise Ramsey ve Rickson (1976) öğretmenlerin politik endişelerine dayandırmaktadır. Holsman (2001) ise çevre eğitiminin arkasında ciddi bir politik irade olmadan bireysel başarılarla bu işin çözülemeyeceğini iddia etmektedir. Alanın iki duayen ismi Hart (2007) ve Dillon (2014) çevre eğitiminin sosyal boyutlarına ve akademik alandaki tartışmalara vurgu yapmıştır.…”

Bu çalışmada Çevre Eğitimi (ÇE) adı altında Türkiye’de yapılan ve Türkiye’deki hakemli dergilerde basılan 52 alan yazın araştırması ve 55 lisans üstü tez incelenmiştir. Benzer çalışmalar mevcut olsa da bu çalışmada incelenen araştırmaların yöntemleri, konuları, veri toplama yaklaşımları ve önerileri dışında, çalışmaların kuramsal çerçeveleri ve bulguları arasındaki bağları da irdelenmiştir. ÇE teriminin ülkemizdeki popülerliği artmakla birlikte Türk Eğitim sistemine damgasını vuran yapılandırmacılık ÇE çalışmalarını da etkilemiştir. Cinsiyete göre çevreye karşı duyarlılık, uygulanan mekân dışı öğretimin eğitime olumlu katkısı, yapılandırmacı yaklaşıma övgü vb. sonuçları araştırma bulgularında sıklıkla görmekteyiz. Ancak bu çalışmalardaki kuramsal çerçeve eksikliği, neden-sonuç ilişkisine ışık tutmamakta ve nasıl sorusunu yanıtsız bırakmaktadır. Bu araştırmada ise sıklıkla kullanılan yapılandırmacılığın ya da kuramsal çerçeve eksikliğinin indoktrinasyon olup olmadığı tartışılmaktadır. Umulan bu araştırmanın farklı akademik çevrelerde verimli bir tartışma kapısı açmasıdır.

“…For example, the National Environmental Education Training Foundation (NEETF) recently formed an ad hoc coalition of organizations to explore ways to enhance the image of EE among educational policymakers using market-based research. Such national work may be especially important in the United States to counteract what appears to be a sophisticated and coordinated campaign by critics of EE to undermine its public and political support (Holsman, 2001).…”
