EDUC 452-4 Field Work and Case Studies in Environmental Education

Provides students who haVe a conceptual knowledge of environmental education, with

operational experience under field conditions.

EDUC 462-4 Environmental Education (Outdoor Education)

The design of multi-disciplinary educational programs to develop awareness of the urban and

natural environment.

This summer the Summer Institute in Environmental Education will depart from its normal practice

of offering the program remote from the S.F.U. campus in a residential format. The program will

still be offered as a Summer Institute, meaning that the focus of immersion.in

an 8-semester hour

two course block will be retained, but actual 24 hour residence will not be required. The course

will have dedicated laboratory work space during July which will be accessible to students on a 7-

day week basis. The course will feature extensive field experiences in the Greater Vancouver

Region and S.W. B. C. It is therefore not expected that students enrolling in 452/462 will take

other courses concurrently during summer session.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Summer Institute in Environmental Education is an interdisciplinary program that addresses

the educational implications of human-environment interactions. It is appropriate for teachers,

recreation workers, naturalists and park workers with backgrounds in a wide range of subject

fields and with teaching levels from kindergarten to adult. The program will examine

environmental themes from the perspective of their potential to develop awareness, understanding,

research and problem-solving skills. Topics covered will include urban education, neighbourhood

and community studies, the workplace, urban-planning, agriculture and land use, harbour and

- estuary studies, park and recreation programs, environmental sciences, and the use of the many

community resources to be found in a city such as Greater Vancouver.

COURSE ASSIGNMENTS

Student assignments will include curriculum and program planning and development activities, as

well as specific in-course tasks addressing various course contexts.
