Abstract

Abstract The COVID-19 lockdowns forced environmental educators to increase the use of digital technologies, bringing to the forefront the need for critical research on the implications for teaching practice. Through interviews in Barcelona, we explore how environmental educators perceived related opportunities and difficulties and how these connect with their competencies in environmental education. Non-formal educators reported a more comprehensive range of digital tools than those in formal settings and particularly highlighted the difficulty of sustaining the impact on environmental learning when replacing face-to-face methods with digital technologies. Interviewees commonly perceived motivational challenges. We discuss how these experiences were less related to educators’ previous use of digital technologies and more to mastering specific competencies that can help them deal with emotions.
数字技术和2019冠状病毒病大流行:巴塞罗那环境教育工作者的机遇和挑战
COVID-19封锁迫使环境教育工作者增加对数字技术的使用,将对教学实践影响的批判性研究摆在了首位。通过在巴塞罗那的采访,我们探讨了环境教育者如何看待相关的机遇和困难,以及这些机遇和困难如何与他们在环境教育中的能力联系起来。非正规教育工作者报告说,与正规教育工作者相比,非正规教育工作者使用的数字工具更加全面,并特别强调了当用数字技术取代面对面的方法时,维持对环境学习的影响是很困难的。受访者普遍认为存在激励挑战。我们讨论了这些经历与教育者以前使用数字技术的关系不大,而与掌握能够帮助他们处理情绪的特定能力的关系更大。
