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

[lie 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 South Western 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 environmental awareness and action strategies, environmental

curriculum development and critiques, human-environment relationships,

environmental ethics, marine and aquatic studies, marine mammal studies,

neighborhood and community studies, outdoor education and the use of the many

resources to be found in Greater Vancouver.
