本文探讨了地球科学教育领域未来研究的方向和重点。在过去的30年里，地球科学教育研究已经建立了坚实的理论基础，以及实用的策略和技术，从K-12地球科学的有意义的教学。然而，这项研究的质量，以及对地球科学知识日益增长的需求，对改善ESE在世界各地学校中的低知名度几乎没有帮助。文章认为，缩小地球科学的教育潜力与其在学校中的低知名度之间令人不安的差距需要一个整体议程。这样一个议程将包括在诸如发展环境洞察力等领域深化对地球系统方法的现有研究，更好地理解学习过程是一种内在的人类本能，这将有望有助于改变目前以本质主义为基础的教学文化。然而，它还将包括新的研究途径，重点是改变地球科学家对其在社会中的作用的态度和采用地球伦理价值观。
This article addresses the question of what the future directions and emphases of the research in the earth science education field ought to be. During the past 30 years, Earth science education research has established a solid theoretical foundation, as well as practical strategies and techniques, for a meaningful teaching of earth science from K-12. However, the quality of this research, and the growing need for knowledge in Earth science, have done little to improve the low profile of ESE in schools worldwide. The article posits that narrowing this disturbing gap between the educational potential of Earth science and its low profile in schools requires a holistic agenda. Such an agenda will encompass the deepening of existing research of the Earth systems approach in areas like the development of environmental insight better understanding the learning process as an embedded human instinct, which will hopefully contribute to changing the current essentialism-based teaching culture. However, it will also include new avenues of research focused on changing the attitudes of geoscientists towards their role in society and the adoption of geoethical values.
