contents In it Together: Why the community skills of earth smarts are now a critical part of environmental and scientific education Bryan H. Nichols Educación values Science perspectives social skills environmental literacy This position paper uses the earth smarts framework as a basis to argue that a set of community-based skills, attuned to global and local contexts, have become important aspects ofboth scientific and environmental education. Regardless of where you live in the world,working together effectively is more important than ever, particularly on scales beyond ourimmediate families and local communities. Modern democracies require citizens that canmanage multiple perspectives, communicate and collaborate in an increasingly connectedworld, resolve conflicts less violently, and navigate issues that often involve different andconflicting values. As the scale of the environmental challenges we face has become global,the solutions to many of them are beyond the scope of any individual or small group. In thiscontext the themes of this issue, democracy, citizenship, and social justice, can be seen notsimply as educational goals, but rather as tools to help us achieve more just, resilient communities in the face of accelerated environmental change. 2014 artículo científico 1806-5104 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=571666020002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5716 Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.14
