Pre-service early childhood educator experience in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
- 2021
-
In: Sustainability. - 2071-1050. ; 13:8, s. 1-20
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There has been significant interest in the values and benefits of early childhood nature experiences on children’s well-being and development. One aspect of studying the exposure of children to nature that requires more focus is the role played by early childhood educators. In particular, there is a need for early childhood environmental education training for pre-service educators. This study will explore the use of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve as an outdoor classroom for early childhood environmental education pre-service professionals. Exploratory quantitative and qualitative descriptive data from a series of three short surveys (pre/post/delayed post) provide a basic overview of pre-service teacher perspectives, experiences, and outcomes of an environmental education intervention. The results indicate that the participating pre-service educators had little to no familiarity with the environmental concepts or the biosphere reserve site before participation in the intervention. The post-intervention and delayed post-intervention results show that pre-service educators perceived that their understanding of the concept had improved. The results also show a perception of the positive role that biosphere reserve sites can play in early childhood education. Three critical implications emerged from the overall quantitative and qualitative results: (1) specific support should be given for early childhood environmental education training; (2) biosphere reserve functions provide support for efforts to improve connections to nature; (3) early childhood education has the potential to support the broadening of the biosphere reserve audience.

-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna skrift utgör ett avslutande självständigt arbete (praktikarbete II) inom den sista terminens kurs i naturvård på den treåriga biologisk-geovetenskapliga utbildningslinjen vid Stockholms universitet. Handledare från universitetet har va rit Bo Eknert.Inventeringen är utförd på uppdrag av länsstyrelsen i Got lands län och Karlsö Jagt- och Djurskyddsförenings AB.Syftet med inventeringen har varit att göra en så detaljerad kartläggning av Stora Karlsös träd- och buskvegetation att det i framtiden skall bli möjligt att konstatera om några förändringar har skett och hur stora dessa förändringar i så fall är.Iventeringen lägger tyngdpunkten på den mest expansiva arten på Stora Karlsö, nl!mligen enen. Följande rapport ger bl.a exempel på hur starkt enen expanderat på Stora Karlsö under 1900-talet.Fältarbetet är utfört under juni, juli och delar av augusti 1988.Vi vill tacka alla som bidragit med uppgifter av olika slag. Ejvind Rosen vid växtbiologiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet och Rolf Jacobsson vid naturvårdsenheten vid länsstyrelsen i Uppsala har båda på ett fantastiskt sätt stöttat och hjälpt oss både i planeringsskedet och under fältarbetet på Stora Karlsö. Även Stellan Hedgren vid natur vårdsfunktionen vid länstyrelsen på Gotland och Karlsöklubben har hjälpt oss på alla sätt. Sist, men inte minst, vill vi tacka alla trevliga guider som arbetade på Stora Karlsö som maren 1988.
