This book provides a fascinating insight into the on-going process of self- reflection in the Science|Environment|Health (S|E|H) community. The basic vision of a new S|E|H pedagogy is to establish a transdisciplinary dialogue between the three educational fields of science education, environmental education, and health education.

This book provides a fascinating insight into the on-going process of self- reflection in the Science|Environment|Health (S|E|H) community. The basic vision of a new S|E|H pedagogy is to establish a transdisciplinary dialogue between the three educational fields of science education, environmental education, and health education. This approach finds growing interest among science educators. Since 2014, the ESERA special interest group S|E|H has united both experienced and junior researchers all over Europe in a burgeoning research community.This book presents a selection of results of these vibrant activities. Systems theory has turned out to be a stimulating theoretical framework for S|E|H. The limits of predictability in complex living systems result in structural uncertainty for decision-making, and they ask for emphasising and rethinking the role of pedagogical concepts like informed citizenship and scientific literacy. They challenge crude scientific determinism inenvironmental and health education, which all too often ends up with students’ eco- and health depression. Instead, S|E|H conceives coping with uncertainty in terms of an interplay between cognitive and affective factors. The horizon of the future remains always open. Hope must never die in a new S|E|H pedagogy.

Dieses E-Book enthält komplexe Grafiken und Tabellen, welche nur auf E-Readern gut lesbar sind, auf denen sich Bilder vergrössern lassen.Unterrichten ist vielschichtig. Jede Unterrichtsstunde birgt unvorhergesehene Situationen, die es zu meistern gilt. Lehr­personen müssen gleichzeitig 20 jungen Persönlichkeiten gerecht werden, individuelle Lernprobleme wahrnehmen unddie Lernenden ermutigen, fördern und beurteilen. Die 20 Fall­studien basieren auf Unterrichtssituationen der Sekundar­stufe II, die junge Lehrpersonen als schwierig erlebt haben. Die Themen umfassen Unterrichtsplanung und ­Durchführung, Klassenführung, Leistungsbeurteilung und Förderung. An jeder Situation wird gezeigt, wie sich mit einer sorgfältigen Analyse Lösungen finden lassen.

Dieses E-Book enthält komplexe Grafiken und Tabellen, welche nur auf E-Readern gut lesbar sind, auf denen sich Bilder vergrössern lassen.Seit den Anfängen der Umweltbildung und -erziehung wird von Lehrpersonen in Sachen Umweltschutz und Nachhaltigkeit eine stete Wissensvermittlung verlangt. Die jungen Menschen sehen sich individuell in der Pflicht, endlich nachhaltig zu handeln. Aber die Trendwende lässt auf sich warten; die Wirkung von Appellen, Diktat und Erziehungsbestrebungen ist nachweislich vernachlässigbar. Regula Kyburz hat eine reiche Erfahrung mit Bildung für Umwelt und Nachhaltigkeit. Sie beschreibt wirkungsvolle Unterrichtsmethoden und weist Lehrenden wie Lernenden den Weg zur Inspiration statt Resignation.

Health and the environment are important learning areas in science education and their significance is growing.  Not only do they have high social relevance, but they are also close to students’ interests and needs. They provide many opportunities to unlock science with questions that are personally relevant to boys and girls and that inspire them to engage in science. This book contains a selection of papers from prominent professionals in science, health and environmental education, who reflect on science education, each from their specific point of view. The core idea is to present well-founded perspectives on how science education may benefit from challenges stemming from both health and environmental education. Specific reasons are discussed as to why these two areas are particularly legitimized to challenge science education, and their potential impact on a revision of science education is evaluated.A new pedagogy for science¦environment¦health that yields interesting and relevant science education for students and teachers, and addresses the grand challenges of this century: what an attractive and rewarding project! The book will motivate teachers, teacher educators and science education researchers to take part in this on-going project.
