Exploring secondary school biology teachers’ conceptions of scientific laws and methods
The present study investigates how Greek in-service secondary education biology teachers understand the unique features of school biology and physics when considering the biological theoretical edifice and method. Our theoretical framework focuses on important differences that exist between the neo-Darwinian and Newtonian worldviews, while our methodology involves questionnaires and mainly individual interviews with fourteen (14) biology teachers…
Unravelling the holistic nature of ecosystems
Science and environmental educators implicitly presuppose that the ecosystem per se is clearly defined and consider learners’ misunderstandings to be incorrect scientific interpretations of uncontested knowledge content. The present study, however, explores how in-service secondary education Greek biology teachers address the topic of ‘ecosystem delimitation’ under the assumption that the ecosystem is an ill-defined concept. If it is to be consid…
Unraveling the holistic nature of ecosystems
The present study investigates Greek in-service biology teachers’ conceptions of how ecosystems can be studied as holistic units. Data were collected through both questionnaires and individual interviews. Eighty-seven teachers (59.77% female; 40.23% male) working in urban (56.32%) and rural (43.68%) regions of Greece completed a questionnaire instrument, and nine out of the 87 teachers participated in in-depth interviews. Descriptive statistics a…
The Discourse of Environmental Information
In the present study, the textual material disseminated in the information center of Dadia forest reserve is examined. Adopting the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, environmental information is seen as “discourse.” By employing a two-plane analytical framework (content analysis and systemic-functional linguistic analysis), the focus given on scientific rhetoric is unveiled. Consequently, the management regime proposed for the…
Structural and Narrative Reconstruction of Representations of “Environment,” “Nature,” and “Ecotourism”
This study aims at the structural and narrative reconstruction of representations of “environment,” “nature,” and “ecotourism” held by growth coalition members involved in ecotourism management and visitors to the Dadia Forest Reserve. We employed a word association task method and used a classification system to content analyze associations. The structural reconstruction revealed that the degree of homogeneity of association category profiles be…
