The Role of Sustainable Development Education through Chemistry and Geological Education at a Museum
Summary:
This MSc Thesis was submitted at the Department of Chemistry of University of Athens, at the Chemistry Education and Environmental Education for Sustainable Development in 2016-2017. The research took place in the Museum of the Institute of Geological and Mining Research and wants to show the role of Education for Sustainable Development in Primary and Secondary Education, through the effect that had on teachers and students visited the Museum.
Education for Sustainable Development as a term first emerged as Sustainable Development. In Greece, the concept and essence of Sustainable Development is unknown, making it imperative to create a handbook, a manual that will have a positive impact on students and teachers.
Multi-sensory teaching techniques are constantly gaining ground in educational reality because with the active involvement of all senses and through activities that exercise the memory, it contributes to greater school success [1].
The researcher, based on the absence of the above techniques in Greece, combined with the great need to make Sustainable Development a daily routine in our lives, has carried out this research and showed that the predominant percentage of pupils in these schools falls into the category of uninformed about ESD.
The main purpose of this research project is to demonstrate whether a specific multi-sensory method, a special handbook and contributes to linking Geology and Chemistry courses with Sustainable Development Education to pupils D, E, F, Primary, all grades of the Secondary school and the first two grades of the High school. The answers will be given by a questionnaire and the results of the semi-structured interviews with teachers who visited the Museum of the Institute of Geological and Mining Research.
In this thesis, the researcher tries to investigate the attitude of teachers towards ESD and indirectly its effect on students.
