Confronting the Enemy within: Why Our Students are Environmentally Illiterate.
Overview & Synopsis
Criticizes environmental education efforts for failing to teach children how to make environmental decisions. States that environmental education has constructed no agreed-upon paradigm for how environmental literacy is delivered, focuses too much attention on words such as "awareness" and "values" and too little on knowledge and skills, and consists of supplemental field trips and activities but lacks sequential knowledge-based programs.
