‘Just don’t tell them what’s in it’: Ethics,edible insects and sustainable food choice in schools     

Verity Jones 《British Educational Research Journal》2020,46(4):894-908

Supporting young people with global crises mitigation strategies is essential, yet loaded with ethical dilemmas for the educator. This study explores whether young people will make ethical decisions regarding the sustainability of food choice in schools, and based on the processes identified, what educators’ needs are in supporting transformative learning. This study is the first of its kind, where young people under the age of 14 have been tasting edible insects and discussing their role in a more sustainable diet. The article draws on mixed-method research with over 180 young people and their teachers in three schools in Wales and examines responses to a possible introduction of edible insects into school canteens. Highlighted is the complexity of sustainable food choices—likely to be identifiable with other young people and educators in western countries. The article considers how educators and policy makers may need to frame routes to positive sustainable action and the associated impacts these may have on personal, social, political and environmental spheres.  相似文献   

Identifying needs and enhancing learning about climate change adaptation for water professionals at the post-graduate level     

David Alan George  Poh-Ling Tan  Jeffrey Frank Clewett 《Environmental Education Research》2016,22(1):62-88

Using a participatory learning approach, we report on the delivery and evaluation of a climate change and risk assessment tool to help manage water risks within the agricultural sector. Post-graduate water-professional students from a range of countries, from both developed and emerging economies were involved in using this tool. Our approach included participative learning tools – group discussion, software, and risk matrices. The materials developed met the needs of the students, allowing these students to incorporate their learning and adapt the package of materials for use in their home countries. Analysis of evaluations show that the tools and materials are particularly useful and emphasizes the need for sound learning materials and tools, funding to deliver training, and policy support to accelerate education and adoption of authentic climate change adaptation practices. The expected benefits for water professionals about climate change will be translated into improved socioeconomic and environmental outcomes if adopted.  相似文献   

Childhood adversity and the risk of substance use and delinquency: The role of protective adult relationships     

《Child abuse & neglect》2017

Youth involved in the child welfare system experience multiple early adversities that can contribute to increased risk of substance use and delinquency. Although adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with poorer behavioral outcomes among youth, less is known about the possible protective factors that may influence the relationship between early adversity and risk-taking behavior. This study examined whether protective adult relationships moderated the link between cumulative ACEs and substance use and delinquency after controlling for demographic characteristics in child welfare-involved youth. The sample included 1054 youth, ages 11–17, from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being II who were in the first wave of data collection. Results showed that protective adult relationships moderated the relationship between ACEs and substance use, but not for delinquency. Specifically, under lower levels of protective adult relationships, cumulative ACEs related to increased substance use among youth. Implications for child welfare practices to target youths' support systems are discussed.  相似文献

Teachers' perspectives of changes in their practice during a technology in mathematics education research project     

《Teaching and Teacher Education》2017

Teachers' perception of changes to their teaching practice, with respect to digital technology use in secondary school mathematics, during their participation in a research project are reported. Two case studies are presented of teacher perspectives illustrative of the range of perceived changes teachers made to their practice and positions along the ‘path of change’ during their participation in the project. Participating in a project supportive of teacher change and resulting in perception of substantial change was necessary, but not sufficient, to meet the goal of transformative use of digital technologies to increase the level of cognitive demand experienced by students.  相似文献   

Is Reading Recovery sustainable two to four years after discontinuation?     

Karen Nicholas 《Education 3-13》2013,41(6):663-672

The Reading Recovery programme has been a key early literacy intervention in many international contexts for over two decades. As a consequence, there have been numerous investigations into its efficacy for short-term gains, but only a few on long-term sustainability. This study examines the progress of 95 Year 4–6 students from seven schools in the rural hinterland of New Zealand. Standardised data were collected from students who had been successfully discontinued from Reading Recovery two to four years previously and compared them with mean performance from the same school populations. Results showed that only Year 6 students obtained the mean scores which placed them within the national average range. Our results also showed that whilst almost half of the ex-Reading Recovery students we studied, fell within the average band, 45% were classified as well below average.  相似文献   

关于深化国有资源有偿使用制度改革的理论初探     

武心英 《连云港职业技术学院学报》2007,20(2):43-45

在粗放型的经济增长方式下，由于我们过多地运用了行政手段来管理经济，管理国有自然资源，导致国有自然资源一直是无偿或低廉使用的。随着我国经济增长方式的根本性转变，国有资产无偿使用制度的弊端已显现，一是导致国有自然资源的收益大量流失；二是导致国有资源配置无序和扭曲。因此，深化国有资源的有偿使用制度改革，对于维护国有资源的权益，加强资源开发者的经济责任，实现资源的最优配置，加速与国际通行做法的并轨，具有极为重要的现实意义，有广为实行之必要。  相似文献

泉州湾湿地保护与生产活动的冲突和协调发展   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

傅孙萍 《泉州师范学院学报》2002,20(4):61-65

阐述了泉州湾河口湿地生物多样性价值及其保护对泉州近海环境的重要意义,但近年来人类活动的频繁干扰,如滩涂湿地过度养殖,工程建设占用湿地,海水污染,外来有害物种的蔓延使河口湿地逐渐退化,生物多样性减少,解决泉州湾河口湿地生产与保护的冲突应本着“善用湿地”这一宗,建立国家有自然保护区并成立相应的管理机构加强立法执法力度,恢复重建红树林群落,将养殖规模控制在理论规划范围内,严格控制污染源及加大对保护区的经济投入等。  相似文献
