What is Environmental Education and Cultural Identity?
Environmental Education and Cultural Identity examines how traditional knowledge and local wisdom shape sustainability education programs linking cultural heritage to environmental stewardship.
This subtopic integrates indigenous practices into environmental curricula, emphasizing community-based approaches (Prihantoro, 2014; 111 citations). Recent reviews map local wisdom's role in science education sustainability (Lestari et al., 2024; 23 citations). Over 10 key papers since 2014 explore ethnoscience and geoconservation perceptions.
Why It Matters
Culturally grounded programs enhance community resilience, as seen in Indonesian curriculum integration (Prihantoro, 2014) and Bajo sea preservation teaching materials (Ihsan et al., 2020). Brazilian coastal geoconservation relies on local perceptions for policy (Avelar et al., 2014). Sentajo forest conservation uses wisdom-based communication, sustaining biodiversity amid modernization (Yasir et al., 2022). These approaches support global sustainability by preserving heritage while addressing environmental threats.
Key Research Challenges
Integrating Local Wisdom
Curriculum developers struggle to embed ethnoscience without diluting scientific rigor (Solheri et al., 2022). Prihantoro (2014) notes tiered integration challenges in Indonesia. Lestari et al. (2024) recommend SLR for better synthesis.
Measuring Cultural Impact
Quantifying stewardship outcomes from cultural education lacks standardized metrics (Avelar et al., 2014). Community perceptions vary, complicating evaluation (Marzaman et al., 2019). Yasir et al. (2022) highlight qualitative gaps in wisdom communication.
Preserving Eroding Traditions
Modernization erodes practices like Balinese Hindu roles, risking loss in education (Pradana & Ruastiti, 2022). Merapi eruption responses show adaptive wisdom at risk (Widodo & Hastuti, 2019). Geopark models aid but need scaling (Komoo, 2010).
