Realization of environmental education in special schools
ŠVECOVÁ, Markéta
Environmental education puts emphasis on getting to know our environment and its relationship with man, and becoming aware of the necessity to preserve conditions for life. Constant care of our environment is closely linked to the state of the environmental awareness and education level of the population. The Ministry of the Environment bears responsibility for environmental tuition, education and public awareness (hereinafter EVVO). In this respect, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, which published methodological instructions to bring the EVVO into practice, is no less important. This bachelor thesis is divided into the theoretical and the practical parts. The theoretical part contains a description of environmental education, its realisation in schools, the state EVVO programme, special school system and the EVVO in the Region of South Bohemia. The research part of the bachelor thesis made use of qualitative research. To fulfil the objectives defined I chose the survey method. The technique used to collect data was an individual non-standardised interview. The research set consisted of the EVVO school coordinators, school headmasters/headmistresses or teachers responsible for EVVO in special schools in the region of České Budějovice. The objective of this bachelor thesis was to find out in which way environmental education was realised in all special schools in the region of České Budějovice. All the research questions have been answered, and it has been found out that environmental education is realised in six out of seven special schools, and all these six special schools realise environmental education in similar ways. These six special schools realise environmental education within school subjects, and they chose the combined form of play and theory. All respondents use various aids in their lessons, and five of them take part in environmental education projects. Six special schools realise environmental education according to the Framework Education Programme and two of them draw on the EVVO methodological instructions. The services of ecological centres are used by six special schools realising environmental education, but financing these services is complicated for them. The results of this bachelor thesis may contribute to a better orientation in the questions of the EVVO realised in special schools, and they will be offered to the Cassiopeia Ecological and Global Education Centre for the project ?I Cannot See, I Cannot Hear, But I Know ??.
