THE TEACHING OF ENERGY IN EDUCATION

Abstract: This article aims to feature the contribution of Environmental Education (E.E.) to Renewable Sources of Energy (R.S.E.) and energy saving. Particularly the goal of this study is to examine whether the role of E.E. can be catalytic, in order for everyone to realize the importance and necessity for R.S.E. in all sectors and manifestations of our life. In this respect we attempt to outline the character of E.E. and the procedures followed during materialization of its programs.

Through the need for change of human attitude towards the environment on one hand and the value system of our society on the other hand, education can play an important role. Overcoming the anthropocentric perception of the environment and the recent understanding of technology as an effective tool and means for dealing with worldwide environmental problems, rising on a daily basis, are rendered more and more significant.

This article concerning E.E. and its contribution to R.S.E. and energy saving constitutes an attempt to highlight its importance. Besides it takes upon the major subject of the necessary change of the traditional and established mentality of educational practice, which considers students as passive receivers who aim at the accumulation of knowledge, and focuses on the active participation of the individual for mastering and constructing knowledge, developing values and forming attitudes while the teacher acts as an assistant and supporter of their every step and action.

It is not our ambition to develop or evaluate specialized applications of R.S.E. neither we attempt to fully cover the issue of the introduction of R.S.E. to education. This issue had better be discussed in the overall framework of incorporating R.S.E. in the school curricula through the spectrum of the modern technological developments and become the subject of a more through and profound search.

Further study and experimental research are definitely required in order to define and further clarify the above issues.

Keywords: Environmental Education, Energy, Renewable Sources, Curriculum, modern technological developments.
