Currently there is a new relationship between agents producing traditional knowledge and new actors such as businesses and intermediary organizations, who constitute what Castells (1998) called the ‘knowledge society’. Present trends which guarantee that knowledge is really assimilated by the individual recognize that the cognitive process involves four steps: acquisition, comprehension, internalization, and appropriation. Regarding environmental education, this new strategy of instrumentalizing knowledge seeks for individuals to internalize the concept of ‘sustainable management’, to establish new relations with their environment, and to gear their personal actions towards the management and conservation of the ecosystem and the community. |
