越来越多的科学教育研究项目都基于这样一种假设，即科学素养可以集中关注青年和参与这项工作的社区的社会正义问题（Calabrese巴顿，2003年）。尽管种族、阶级和环境健康风险之间存在着牢固的联系，但环境教育未能考虑到与青年有关的环境问题，而青年受最紧迫的现代环境问题的影响最大（刘易斯和詹姆斯，1995年）。因此，我们需要更好地了解开展环境教育的地方本身是如何成为文化冲突的场所，使青年处于限制某些学习途径的地位。在此，我们提出以下问题：（a）在传统环境教育方面，如何为青年人和由青年人建造场所？以及（B）这种场所的建构对于将青少年的场所感与环境学习联系起来的教学设计有何意义？通过民族志分析，我们已经确定了两个社会过程中的地方如何得到建设和青年：通过多方面的和并列的叙述，并通过青年的社会定位，由自己和其他社会行为者，在环境教育发生的地方。
A growing set of research projects in science education are working from the assumption that science literacy can be constituted as being centrally focused on issues of social justice for the youth and for communities involved in such work (Calabrese Barton, 2003). Despite well-established links among race, class, and exposure to environmental health risks, environmental education is failing to take into account the environmental issues pertinent to youth who are most impacted by the most pressing modern environmental issues (Lewis & James, 1995). We therefore need to better understand how the places where environmental education occurs are themselves sites of cultural conflict that position youth in ways that limit access to certain learning pathways. Here, we ask the following questions: (a) How are places constructed for and by youth in traditional environmental education? and (b) What are implications of this construction of place for the design of instruction that connects youths’ sense of place with environmental learning? Through ethnographic analysis we have identified two social processes in how place gets constructed for and by youth: through multifaceted and juxtaposed narratives and through the social positioning of youth, by themselves and other social actors, in places where environmental education occurs.
