About this ebook
The goal of Society and Environment: Teaching SOSE is to provide a selection of chapters by experienced educators which will enable teacher education students to reflect on the key issues and concepts in teaching Society and Environment in schools. Society and Environment: Teaching SOSE, using both local and global perspectives, examines some of the major issues in the study of society and environment. The focus is on the study of people as social beings, and the way they interact with each other within society and culture and the environment. The aim of this reader is to help to empower future teachers to act as informed and committed educators and citizens of a culturally diverse democracy in the global economy.
The text offers a unique study of crucial issues affecting environment, education and society. By incorporating both local and global perspectives, the authors emphasise the interdependence of cultural, economic, and political imperatives confronting students and teachers in an increasingly complex, unpredictable and rapidly changing society.
Environment education and education for sustainable development increasingly play a major role in the international debate. Other issues discussed deal with citizenship education, values education in a pluralist democracy, multicultural education, pupils’ problem-solving strategies used with interactive multimedia technology, environment education in schools, the languages of cybercommunities, the relevance of teaching history in the classroom, teaching for participatory democracy and writing in social studies.
