CRITICAL THINKING
in the context of past and present ATTITUDES and VALUES about
environment: with particular reference to East Anglia
Four distinct,
but closely interrelated approaches are offered as a framework to organise some
of the many strands of a value-related environmental curriculum. Such imaginative explorationsare
necessary for schools to appraise local notions about nature that make a neighbourhood
special. They are categorised according to whether the starting point is:-
- a particular notion, e.g. a law, plan,
or imaginative statement;
- a spiritual value system
- a person who invented, or propagated a
notion.
- a particular place and its distinctive
features.
The objective is to refer to this type of menu to stimulate the production of
