- Educating for Environment: A School-As-A-Community Project Astrid Steele Jeff Scott Educación social capital inquirybased learning Environmental education environmental citizenship In this E4E (Educating for Environment) pilot project we explored the delivery ofinquiry-based environmental education within a small, rural elementary school inOntario, Canada, using a school-as-a-community model, rather than the more commonsingle grade model. At the outset of the project we wondered if environmentaleducation could be significant in building social capital, that is, building a strongerschool community, and also, if the strong school community would respond to theirexperience with enhanced pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours. Since thispaper is based on a small pilot project, not all of our wonderings were realized, yet weare encouraged by our findings and see environmental education as much more than adiscrete set of lessons in a science curriculum within a school building. Qualitative datacomprising of interviews and a focus group was collected at the completion of the twoweek project. Analysis points to benefits in the form of increased understanding of andfor the environment, and strengthening of social capital within the school, both ofwhich support the development of environmentally and socially conscientiouscitizenship amongst participants. 2014 artículo científico 1806-5104 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=571666020025 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
