Possibility of integrating environmental and artistic education based on Ecoliteracy

本研究以贝特森的传播学理论与生态文学的概念为基础，探讨环境教育与艺术教育整合的可能性。贝特森把自然、社会、生物、人等组成的生命系统看作是一个心灵过程，具有审美性和神圣性，从而提出了克服科学与非科学、心灵与身体二元论的生态思想。生态文学的概念是由F.受贝特森影响的卡普拉认为我们的生命系统是生态系统的建模原则和智慧，并鼓励我们通过经验获得敏感性和理性。本研究指出了环境教育与艺术教育整合的意义和可能性。

The present study examines the possibility for integrating environmental and artistic education based on Gregory Bateson's Communication theory and the concept of Ecoliteracy. Bateson regarded our living system which includes the nature, the society, living things and human beings as a mind process as well as being aesthetic and sacred, and then raised the ecological thinking which overcomes dualistic thinking such as science and non-science or mind and body. The concept of Ecoliteracy by F. Capra influenced by Bateson recognizes our living system as modeling principles and the wisdom of ecosystem, and encourages us to acquire both sensitivity and rationality through experiences. This study indicates the significance and possibility of integrating environmental and artistic education.
