Incorporating environmental themes in an existing curriculum: a case study of the nonformal education sub-sector
Issue Date
2001
Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that environmental themes have to be incorporated into basic education, technical vocational education, higher education, and nonformal education curricula. The question that confronts the education sector today is how may these themes be incorporated.
There are two schools of thought regarding the issue : the integrationists, who argue that environmentalism requires separate courses that need to be integrated into existing curricula; and the infusionists, who believe that environmental themes need not be packaged into separate courses but infused into existing courses instead.
The paper presents the ADB Philippines Environmental Education Project as a case study to present the arguments for and against infusion and integration. Although the project itself cover basic, technical-vocational and higher education, the paper focuses on the nonformal education sub-sector.
