Transformating learning as a basic teaching framework for the vegetal world
Abstract
Highlighting the vegetal world’s importance by the educational community is an issue of major importance due to the role of plant organisms in the effort for sustainable development and the «Plant Blindness» phenomenon. The educational attempts suggested so far to address this phenomenon seem to be working partly and on a small scale. The aim of this research is to identify the characteristics of these educational options through a literature review and to suggest an alternative teaching framework that will bring about a long term change of existing mental models, values and perceptions related to plant organisms. Reflecting on the results, transformative learning within a modern, sustainable school appears to be such an option that has not been adequately explored until now.
