Years On
This is a personal reflection on the first 25 years of the journal, Environmental Education Research. It begins in the 1990s with the ideas behind the need for a new journal and explores the journal’s early years as it established itself. The paper then looks at two quite different papers from Volume 1 of the journal that identified issues that remain pertinent today, albeit in the very changed social context that we now experience where rapid cl…
The World We'll Leave Behind
It is now clear that human activity has influenced how the biosphere supports life on Earth, and given rise to a set of connected environmental and social problems. In response to the challenge that these problems present, a series of international conferences and summits led to discussions of sustainable development and the core dilemma of our time: How can we all live well, now and in the future, without compromising the ability of the planet t…

Financing Old Age
Financing retirement is a major concern, especially for women. The present paper reviews significant changes to Australian retirement incomes that require greater individual responsibility for saving, planning, and managing retirement finances. Data on women's financial situation and planning for retirement, and the possible reasons for their limited superannuation accumulations, are explored. The implications for social work of the requirement t…
Higher education and ESD in England
This paper provides a commentary on education for sustainable development (ESD) within higher education (HE) in England, set against the wider international and European background. The recent history of attempts to clarify ESD and its implications for higher education institutions is outlined, and some of the tensions between a developing agenda and the autonomy of universities are reviewed. The paper presents a summary of positive and negative …
Learning for a Change
Whether we view sustainable development as our greatest challenge or a subversive litany, every phase of education is now being urged to declare its support for education for sustainable development (ESD). In this paper, we explore the ideas behind ESD and, building on work by Foster and by Scott and Gough, we argue that it is necessary now to think of two complementary approaches: ESD 1 and ESD 2. We see ESD 1 as the promotion of informed, skill…
Engaging children
In this article we explore a number of issues arising from the papers in this special issue of Environmental Education Research. The papers focus on current examples of childhood environment research in the UK together with research reviews from the UK, the US and Australia. In order to provide a framework for considering and contextualizing this research we explore conceptions of childhood and the field of childhood environment research. Reduced…
Children’s research into their local environment
The article critically explores the conditions necessary for children to be fully involved in developing a community‐related school curriculum, doing this through a critical reappraisal of the gap between the philosophy of environmental education and its practice in schools highlighted by Stevenson in 1987 Stevenson, R. 1987. “Schooling and environmental education: contradictions in purpose and practice”. In Environmental education: practice and …

Sustainable Development within UK Higher Education
In response to the various calls for sustainable development, a range of activities has been initiated by central and local government, business, NGOs and other institutions. In this paper, the authors focus on the important learning context of higher education.

Sustainable Development and Learning
This book examines the difficult and wide-ranging issues relating to how we understand our environment, our place in it, and how we choose to act. This comprehensive text provides an overview of these developing key issues, illustrating how - through schooling, higher education, professional training and development, and awareness-raising - people can bring about change, as well as engaging in debate and critique of issues. The book builds on exi…
The Quest for Holism in Education for Sustainable Development
Sustainable development' is a 'paradoxical compound policy slogan' (Stables, 1996), of a type rhetorically constructed to appeal simultaneously to apparently opposed interest groups, and is widely recognised to be a contested notion. Indeed, structuralist and post-structuralist theories hold that no terms can have uncontested, stable meanings--even 'education'. Notwithstanding, environmental education (EE) has often been associated with a quest f…

Deconstructing action competence
Environmental education tends to be characterized by a rhetoric of action-taking, and the call for the development of personal action competence is one manifestation of this. This paper critically examines recent work on the concept of action competence. This is seen as a set of capabilities which equip people with the ability to take purposive and focused action, and which embodies a democratic commitment to be participants in the continuing sha…

The ‘Environmentally Educated Teacher’
This paper draws on a range of recent curriculum development and research initiatives in order to consider what pre‐service teacher education programmes might, most effectively, be able to do to promote environmental education (EE) within schools and, through them, within the wider community. The paper begins with a critique of UNESCO‐UNEP's ideas on what constitutes an environmentally educated teacher; it then goes on to examine a number of prio…

Children's Personality as a Function of Family Relations within and between Cultures
Relations of four family characteristics to four personality characteristics were ascertained from 1,686 high school students, their parents, and teachers in 7 communities (Hong Kong, Taipei, Osaka, Berlin, Winnipeg, Phoenix, and Canberra). Analyses based on the composite sample showed generally positive correlations between (each of) member satisfaction, nurturance, and permissiveness and (each of) self-esteem, emotional well-being, and interper…
Burnout, job satisfaction, and job performance
Job "burnout" is often used in ways not well distinguished from older concepts, such as job dissatisfaction and poor performance. An attempt was made to distinguish the three notions, both theoretically and operationally, and to investigate their presumably distinctive correlates in two samples of employees 248 nurses (professional sample) and 108 service employees (non-professional). In both samples the three measures were inter-correlated, but …

Adaptation of immigrant and native Australians
Two samples of recent immigrant families (with 364 and 150 responding members) were compared with a single sample of native-born Australian families (210 members) to ascertain similarities and differences in their patterns of subjective and social adaptation. For the most part, they were quite similar: There were positive intercorrelations among 17 measures of satisfaction with various foci (subjective adaptation) and somewhat lower positive inte…
