本文介绍了三种不同的理解自然的文化方式:土著方式(以北美土著民族为重点),新土著方式(一个概念,提出了承认许多亚洲国家的独特方式认识自然,在这种情况下,日本)和欧美科学的方式。对这三种认知方式的探索以一种发展的方式展开,使得一些关键术语变成更真实的术语,更好地代表每种文化的集体,但异质的世界观,形而上学,认识论和价值观。例如,这三种理解自然的方式最终被描述为土著人在自然中生活的方式,日本人认识seigyo-shizen的方式和欧洲中心科学(复数)。科学教育具有后殖民或反霸权话语的特征,但也指出了这种话语的一些内在困难。
This article provides a guided tour through three diverse cultural ways of understanding nature: an Indigenous way (with a focus on Indigenous nations in North America), a neo-indigenous way (a concept proposed to recognize many Asian nations' unique ways of knowing nature; in this case, Japan), and a Euro-American scientific way. An exploration of these three ways of knowing unfolds in a developmental way such that some key terms change to become more authentic terms that better represent each culture's collective, yet heterogeneous, worldview, metaphysics, epistemology, and values. For example, the three ways of understanding nature are eventually described as Indigenous ways of living in nature, a Japanese way of knowing seigyo-shizen, and Eurocentric sciences (plural). Characteristics of a postcolonial or anti-hegemonic discourse are suggested for science education, but some inherent difficulties with this discourse are also noted.
