Special Interest Group
A forum for academics, practitioners and policy makers to engage critically with the nature and purpose of EfES including curriculum, pedagogies, practice and policy.
The Education for Environmental Sustainability (EfES) SIG aims to encourage and support discussion, research, practice and scholarship focused on EfES in its broadest sense. The SIG provides a focus for this rich and varied research. The SIG supports research and scholarship across all subject specialisms (e.g. geography, science, English, history, art), sectors (formal and non-formal) and across all age phases (e.g. EYFS, primary, secondary, HE) concerned with EfES. At the same time, the SIG seeks to establish dialogue with and between other ½¿É«µ¼º½ SIGs, including ‘Children and Childhoods’, ‘Curriculum, Assessment and Pedagogy’, ‘Nature, Outdoor Learning and Play’, to draw together knowledge relating to EfES.
