Educating Science Teachers for Sustainability

Educating Science Teachers for Sustainability S. Stratton, R. Hagevik, A. Feldman, M. Bloom (Eds.)

Series: ASTE Series in Science Education
· Provides science teacher educators with models for incorporating education for sustainability into their practice
· Highlights the successes as well as the barriers to sustainabilityeducation

· Provides a global context for incorporating the education of science teachers for sustainability

· Includes up to date research findings on the science teacher education for sustainability

· Discusses the importance of teaching sustainability within the context of K-12 and at the university level for teacher preparation



This volume contains a unique compilation of research and reflections representing multiple vantage points stemming from different parts of the world that can help science educators and teacher educators in finding ways to meaningfully and purposefully embed sustainability into teaching and learning. It is a rich resource for exploring and contextualizing sustainability-oriented science education. At this time we find ourselves in a situation in which the earth's ecological system is under significant strain as a result of human activity. In the developed world people are asking "How can we maintain our current standard of living?" while those in the developing world are asking "How can we increase the quality of our lives?" all while trying to do what is necessary to mitigate the environmental problems. This volume responds to these questions with a focus on educating for sustainability, including historical and philosophical analyses, and pedagogical and practical applications in the context of science teacher preparation. Included are many examples of ways to educate science teachers for sustainability from authors across the globe. This text argues that issues of sustainability are increasingly important to our natural world, built world, national and international economics, and of course the political world. The ideas presented in the book provide examples for original, effective and necessary changes for envisioning educating science teachers for sustainability that will inform policy makers.

Send us your chapter proposals NOW :-)

The Association for Science Teacher Educators is seeking chapter proposals for a monograph entitled Educating Science Teachers for Sustainability. If you are working on a research project or conducting some exemplary form of sustainability education consider sending a 2-page chapter proposal to our editorial team for the monograph. This monograph will focus on the inclusion of sustainability content and pedagogy in science teacher preparation within the K-12 science classroom setting and the preparation of K-12 science teachers. The guiding purpose of the book is to share knowledge and ideas about sustainability pedagogy happening within the K-12 science setting outside of it in non-formal settings such as field work, museums, aquaria, etc. Further, the book seeks to include integrated and global contexts where science education on sustainability is being incorporated. If you are interested in more detailed information please visit our page at: https://www.facebook.com/educatingscienceteachersforsustainability
Send both the cover page and proposal electronically to Susan Stratton at [email protected]. The deadline for chapter proposals is October 25, 2013.
