Ecological Education of adults in Utena region Ancient people were inseparable from nature. They depended on environment and this dependence was reflected in their way of live, customs, creation and rituals. Civilized people don’t connect themselves with nature as much as their ancestors did. They don’t have a strong feeling of harmony with surrounding environment. However people today feel concern about endangned nature and devastated environment. And this is not only aesthetic problem, but necessity to preserve nature and man. That is why more and more attention is paid to ecology and ecological education. Ecological education is one of the fields of integrated education. It’s role is to help adults realize ecological problems, acquire cultural and social competence, be independent, active and responsible. The main good of ecological education is to form ecological consciousness, ethics world outlook, to develop responsibility for survival of nature. Ecological education is effective when work is organized gradually. Adults should acquire this education in one or another way all their lives, only then we can successfully form an ecologically educated personality.

This master thesis is concerned with current issues of educational politics, namely the integration of environmental aspects into the curriculums of grammar schools and high schools. Environmental education, and awareness raising has appeared in schools following the introduction of the framework education programme as one of its cross-curricular subjects, reflecting new social needs. While there lies a great potential for the development of our education system within cross-curricular subjects and framework education programmes, these also introduce new requirements for teachers, who are not always quite prepared for dealing with them. The introduction of external partners into education is one possible way of dealing with those requirements, as these external partners have many years of experience with ecology oriented education programmes and their methodical specifics. The presented master thesis familiarizes the reader with the individual forms of cooperation among schools and external partners and tries to generalize its pros and cons and outline the possibility of engaging external educational partners in teaching subjects other than environmental education. The paper deals with a multidisciplinary topic in which the findings of public policy, pedagogy, ethics and ecology intertwine. The...

To this end, we sought to develop a transdisciplinary research based on authors who work the land and human issues from now and ecological education as a transformation tool, such as Edgar Morin, Francisco Gutierrez, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela and Moacir Gadotti.

From this understanding, the work is divided into three parts, the first focused on the definitions and concepts that are focused on the socio-ecological crisis sweeping the planet today, sustainability and environmental education within a global framework of complexity.

This thesis is oriented on use of nature in art education. It consists of teortical and practial part. Theoretcial part describes possibiliteis of using nature and natural materials in art education in relationship with environmental education, history of art and art education in relationship with nature as inspiration or source of material. Practical part consits of two guidelines. The first one is focused on work with natural materials directly in nature. The second one is sectioned into another four guidelines inspirated by seasons of the year.

This narrative inquiry explores how the Building Skills, Building Homes Project, which was undertaken in Saskatchewan, Canada from April November 2003, exemplified a learning strategy for self-sustainable community development through the straw bale construction of two buildings. Being self-sustainable involves searching for an interconnected way of living with our environment. Finding a strategy that connects what is ecologically sound, such as straw bale construction, with current modes of living, is a complex process that necessitates new kinds of community education relationships. A retrospective analysis of the authors experience with the project and a conversational interview with one of the participants of the Building Skills, Building Homes Project will illustrate the adult learning that happens between learners working together on a joint project, which facilitates a growing awareness of what self-sustainable living entails. The research question framing this study is: What links can community educators make using the Building Skills, Building Homes Project as an example of ecological community sustainability?

This diploma thesis deals with the development of ecological thinking of the pupils of the primary school under the project teaching within the subject called Practical Activity at elementary schools. The thesis contains ten projects; six of them were put into practice. The first part of the thesis includes theoretical knowledge derived from specialized literature. The theoretical part describes the topics of project teaching, activation teaching methods and technical and ecological education. The second part of the thesis depicts particular projects from the practical point of view. Photographical documentation and reflection from the projects, which were taught, form a part of the practical section of the thesis.
