Research on the Environmental Education through Farming Work Experience by Pupils and Students

这是22名研究人员的共同工作。从1999年到2002年，每年两次由全体成员的研究营进行调查和合作，并在每年年底举行研讨会。最终报告由26篇原始论文组成。同时，成员们提交了近100篇研究论文和文件。通过研究，明确了环境教育的现实与需求：1.环境教育的现状与需求；环境教育以区域社会教育的生态博物馆式、小学和高中的综合学习项目或交叉课程、许多公共或非营利组织的城乡社会文化交流活动三种形式传播。通过教育方法评价农业经验；如全面性、协作性、经验记忆强、身体感等。用期待的效果感受生命，用感动去发现和收获。我们分析了环境教育的例子，得出了环境教育正在以新的方式改变三个社会领域的观点，这些观点在不久的将来应该得到推广。环境教育有可能解决城市地区自然减少和农村地区人口减少的问题地区的主题。2 .环境教育将通过孩子们在不同于当代城市的不同世界里的生物生活、新的实践学习和新的体验，为教育方法带来新的曙光。环境教育正在推动学校空间布局的变化，使之成为更有机的领域和更灵活的协作空间。社会活动中的环境教育可能会产生改变区域意识和空间实质的作用，使环境更加可持续。这些影响也将发表在更受欢迎的书籍中，而不仅仅是学术报告。
