Title: Ideologies and research in environmental education: beliefs, educational approaches and research methods

Abstract: The focus on environmental education research is at the centre of national/international educational agendas and policies; at the same time, there is a rise in public debate of ideologies/discourses/narratives on environmental issues which, while fuelling interest, may cause new tensions in educational research, which, on the other hand, is required to rigorously and precisely examine 'discourses over ideas'. The international literature reveals a heated debate on environmental educational ideologies but also a research gap on the complex relationship between the ideologies that underpin the research itself and the educational practices investigated, as both are carriers of 'worldviews'. Therefore, this work has set itself the following objectives: 1) to identify the ideologies of environmental education research and practice; 2) to investigate the relationships between ideologies and beliefs, educational approaches and research methods; 2) to propose this analysis as a possible heuristic and critical instrument for researchers, in order to reflect and explicate their methodological choices, taking into account the tensions "about worldviews" of which the researches are themselves bearers.

Title: Ideologie e ricerca in educazione ambientale: credenze, approcci educativi e metodi di ricerca

Abstract: L'attenzione sulla ricerca di educazione ambientale è al centro delle agende e delle politiche educative nazionali/internazionali; allo stesso tempo, nel dibattito pubblico si assiste un aumento di ideologie/discorsi/narrazioni sulle questioni ambientali che se da un lato alimentano l'interesse, dall'altro possono provocare nuove tensioni, in ambito di ricerca educativa, alla quale, invece, è richiesto un vaglio rigoroso e preciso sui "discorsi sopra le idee". Dalla letteratura internazionale emerge un acceso dibattito sulle ideologie educative ambientali ma anche un gap di ricerca sulla complessa relazione tra le ideologie che innervano le stesse ricerche e le pratiche educative indagate, in quanto entrambe portatrici di "visioni del mondo". Pertanto, questo lavoro si pone i seguenti obiettivi: 1) identificare le ideologie di ricerca e di pratica di educazione ambientale; 2) indagare le relazioni tra le ideologie e le credenze, gli approcci educativi e i metodi di ricerca; 3) proporre questa analisi come un possibile strumento euristico e critico per i ricercatori, al fine di riflettere ed esplicitare le proprie scelte metodologiche, tenendo conto delle tensioni "sulle visioni del mondo" di cui le ricerche stesse sono portatrici.

Title: Idéologies et recherche en éducation environnementale: croyances, approches éducatives et méthodes de recherche

Abstract: L'attention sur la recherche de l'éducation environnementale est au centre de l'agent national / international et des politiques éducatives;Dans le même temps, dans le débat public, il y a une augmentation des idéologies / discours / récits sur les questions environnementales qui, d'une part, alimentent l'intérêt, de l'autre, ils peuvent provoquer de nouvelles tensions, dans le domaine de la recherche éducative, à laquelle, plutôt un examen rigoureux et précis est requis sur les "discours ci-dessus".La littérature internationale émerge un débat animé sur les idéologies éducatives environnementales, mais aussi un fost de recherche sur la relation complexe entre les idéologies qui innervent les mêmes recherches et pratiques éducatives étudiées, en tant que porteurs de "visions mondiales".Par conséquent, ce travail fixe les objectifs suivants: 1) Identifier les idéologies de la recherche et de la pratique de l'éducation environnementale;2) étudier les relations entre les idéologies et les croyances, les approches éducatives et les méthodes de recherche;3) Proposer cette analyse comme un outil heuristique et critique possible pour les chercheurs, afin de refléter et d'expliciter leurs choix méthodologiques, en tenant compte des tensions "sur les visions du monde" dont la recherche est porteuse.

Abstract: La atención sobre la búsqueda de la educación ambiental se encuentra en el centro de las políticas nacionales/internacionales y educativas;Al mismo tiempo, en el debate público hay un aumento en las ideologías/discursos/narraciones sobre temas ambientales que, por un lado, alimentan el interés, por otro pueden causar nuevas tensiones, en el campo de la investigación educativa, a lo que, en cambio, se requiere un examen riguroso y preciso en las "ideas anteriores".La literatura internacional emerge un acalorado debate sobre las ideologías educativas ambientales, pero también una brecha de investigación sobre la compleja relación entre las ideologías que inervan las mismas investigaciones y prácticas educativas investigadas, como los dos portadores de "visiones mundiales".Por lo tanto, este trabajo establece los siguientes objetivos: 1) identificar las ideologías de investigación y práctica de la educación ambiental;2) investigar las relaciones entre ideologías y creencias, enfoques educativos y métodos de investigación;3) Proponga este análisis como una posible herramienta heurística y crítica para los investigadores, con el fin de reflejar y explicar sus elecciones metodológicas, teniendo en cuenta las tensiones "sobre las visiones del mundo" cuya investigación es portadora.
