- Description
- Geography’s relationship with environmental education has been an important theme in education since the 1970's, sparking ongoing debates about the positioning of environmental education in the school. Such debates have explored both the content and process of environmental education, and whether or not it should be a separate course or a cross-curricular theme (Gough, 1997). Innovations in the field have increasingly moved environmental education away from being a sub-set in geography and science syllabuses towards becoming a broader cross-curricular theme in schools (Gough, 1997). More recently, however, "whole-school" approaches to environmental education have created new opportunities for developing synergies between sustainability and geographical education, both inside and outside the formal curriculum, to explore human-environment relationships.
