跨学科的环境和可持续发展(IES)项目不同于其他领域,因为它们专注于人文、社会和自然科学概念的复杂整合,这些概念以耦合的人类和自然系统的相互作用为中心。IES课程的跨学科性质不适合传统的学科特定概念清单框架,用于批判性地评估先入之见和学习。我们讨论了一个研究项目的第一阶段的结果,该项目旨在开发下一代概念清单,用于评估对IES入门课程很重要的跨学科概念。以食物-能源-水(FEW)关系(食物、能源和水部门的交叉/相互依赖关系)为重点,我们对8个具有代表性的大学环境入门课程大纲和课程材料(如教科书、期刊文章、印刷媒体)进行了内容分析,以确定在IES入门课程中教授的常见跨学科FEW Nexus概念。结果表明,所有IES入门课程材料都参考了FEW Nexus。食物、能源和/或水资源作为“少数联系”的单个元素经常被描述,但这些资源系统之间的联系较少被包括在内。生物学、能源系统、自然环境中的废物和污染、农业、地球科学和地质、气候变化、行为社会科学和经济学概念与FEW概念联系最紧密,这暗示了IES主题之间的共性,这些共性是锚定系统思维的。尽管IES课程有所不同,但在入门课程中,FEW Nexus教授的核心概念似乎有一些一致之处。
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional discipline-specific concept inventory frameworks for critically evaluating preconceptions and learning. We discuss the results of the first phase of a research project to develop a next generation concept inventory for evaluating interdisciplinary concepts important for introductory IES courses. Using the Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Nexus (the intersections/interdependencies of food, energy, and water sectors) as our focus, we conducted a content analysis of eight representative college-level introductory environmental course syllabi and course materials (e.g., textbooks, journal articles, print media) to identify common interdisciplinary FEW Nexus concepts taught in introductory IES courses. Results demonstrate that all IES introductory course materials reference the FEW Nexus. Food, energy, and/or water resources as individual elements of the FEW Nexus are frequently described, but connections between these resource systems are included less often. Biology, energy systems, waste and pollution in the natural environment, agriculture, earth sciences and geology, climate change, behavioral social sciences, and economics concepts are most associated with FEW concepts, hinting at commonalities across IES topics that anchor systems thinking. Despite differences in IES programs, there appears to be some alignment between core concepts being taught at the FEW Nexus in introductory courses.
