Popis: Environmental education is best achieved through the established disciplines among which geography has a major role to play. Both pattern and process are incorporated in the spatial concepts used by geographers to aid understanding of the environment. Recent emphasis upon cognitive/behavioural approaches has enhanced geography's claim to provide effective environmental education. Implications for curricula are contained in the concepts, models and content of contemporary geography which possesses a wealth of potential relevance if applied through wise selection of strategies and materials. Both the cognitive and affective domains must be involved in geographical learning about and for environment which should be regarded as a means of education rather than as a means of producing geographers.
