Environmental Education at Post Secondary Level. Courses for Educators, Decision-Makers and Members of Professions Concerned With the Environment.

Overview & Synopsis

This second of two volumes on post secondary environmental education is comprised of three series of case studies that were carried out in various institutions of higher education in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Italy. These studies deal with the training or retraining of people in the following categories: (1) educators at primary, secondary and higher levels; (2) decision-makers; and (3) professionals whose work has a link with environmental questions (such as engineers, architects, and doctors). When appropriate, the information in the various case studies is organized under the headings: Who Does the Teaching?; Institutional Organization; Course Content; Teaching Methods, Media, and Materials; Research Base; Criteria of Success; and Recurrent Education.
