Streszczenie
Pro-ecological education related to the process of shaping human attitude
towards the environment that surrounds him, is particularly associated with
making the pupil aware of the fact that he is part of his own environment, and at the
same time man constitues a cognitive and exploratory entity in his environment,
which in turn can be:
1. natural environment in which the man is trying to explore it, discover its
natural resources as well as its threats;
2. socio-economic and socio-political environment, which has been associated
with the so-called “city” (polis) since ancient times;
3. an esthetic and ethical environment connected with moral aspects and
defined values.
In the present publication, we focus on the latter definition of environment,
paying attention to its axiological aspects.
Pro-ecological education can be perceived as a specific direction of education
that has also developed its own methodology, and today has become a field of
human education based on shaping his attitudes and behaviour. Additionaly, this
trend encompasses education by providing a human being with knowledge about
ecosystems, biosystems and sociosystems, considered not only from axiological
and methodological, but mainly from existential perspectives.
On the basis of the collected literature of the subject, which today is perceived
as the field of education, it is essential to devote our attention to in the theoretical
part of the publication so that we could undertake the analysis of specific data
on the basis of the achieved results of our own empirical research. This type of
education – like any other- needs to be also associated with values – especially
pro-ecological ones that pedagogical axiology deals with.
