Abstract |
The paper describes an evaluation study
of education for sustainability activities on agroecology promoted
by the environment department from the city of Sant Cugat del
Vallès. The methodology used in the evaluation
study is based on the development of focus group during lunch
time in a public space. The participants in the focus group are
the environmental educators responsible for the
activity, a sample of teachers responsible for the group of students,
the representative from the city hall, and the
researcher. Previous to the focus group activities have been observed
and video recorded to prepare a video clip to be
used during the development of the focus group to prompt participation.
Data has been categorized in terms of the content (evaluation
statements, and proposals for action), as well as
in terms of actors (Environmental educators and teachers). Results have
been very positive since proposals for the
improvement of activities have been negotiated with consensus and they
have been implemented during the academic year
2010-11. The study has provide evidence that
focus group implemented in this way can be a very powerful tool to
build a space for participation and encounter between teachers
and environmental educators and to build a join
perspective on education for sustainability on schools
